First attempt at milling. Recently dropped white pine. Stihl 029 Super (56 cc or so) 20 inch bar and a 8TEN Ripping Chain( 20 Inch .063 .325). Older Granberg 777 small log mill.
Could not find a solid bar so when with my stock Stihl laminate bar.
I guess it cut easily enough, seemed the saw would not hold max revs when feeding with any perssure, so would back off and back up now and the. That probably caused most of the "wavies" I don't care for. The "high corner" at the start is, I guess, just beginners error.
Main complaint is what I think are way too prominent chain marks, "wavies". At the end of the cut, I found the chain had loosened up quite a bit, so maybe that made things worse?
