Hello all,
I am new here. I am interested in milling white fir into 1x boards for use as siding. I already have a table saw and a Stihl 661. I was thinking of getting a chainsaw mill to turn the fir logs into beams, and then resawing those beams into 1x6s on the table saw.
My thought was that this would be faster with less waste than doing all of the cuts with the CSM.
Has anyone used a table saw for resawing as an integral part of their lumber operation?
I know that I really should resaw on a bandsaw and that the table saw will limit me to a 6" cutting depth. I have neither the money nor the space for a bandsaw right now. Would love to hear thoughts on this harebrained idea!
