I just purchased a new GB double ended bar mill and 44" rail kit. My longest bar is 36" so I drilled a hole in the end a safe distance behind the sprocket, as close as I dare go to the sprocket and berring. Drilled a hole in the end of the mill as far inside ( just inside of the powerhead mounting slots) as I could to allow me to run a bolt through the bar, I machined a spacer the correct length to hold the bar at the same height as the powerhead. I made another spacer to hold the bar tip shield and aux. oiler tip. There's 29-30" of capacity now with the 36" bar.
I've got a late 066 mag, dual port, that's one strong running stock saw. I richened it up and turned the oiler up all the way.
Now for a couple of questions. 7 pin or 8 pin sprocket? Milling red oak.
Simply sharpen the chain to 10 deg, or what angle and raker depth?
I should order some milling chain from Baileys and will likely do it tomorrow, but I'd like to try some milling this week if I get some time.
