I got a 27’ log that I am planning on cutting into two beams for the frame of my bell saw circular mill. I have a have a home built csm that is 48” (60” bar) that I have never milled with. The log is Doug fir and straight with no tapper. It measures 16” at both ends.
I see where a cross piece fastened to both ends of the log with rails sitting on that is common. However the longest boards I have are only 20’ long. Are there some tricks to setting up a straight edge for cutting long logs?
