Longer straight edges for an Alaskan

[treeclimber jul]

I think Northern Tools has a set of guides called "EZ RAIL MILL GUIDE SYSTEM" 9' and 5' And a connecter kit to connect a bunch togather. It is desined to be used with the Alaskan mill.

Hope this helps

Really nice setup there. Not having any experience with lightweight beams I imagine that is a light setup. What does it weigh about? How long?

This one is 20' and I'd guess the weight to be 40-50 lbs. It could be a bit more but it doesn't feel like it.

go and buy a laser level. nail a board at each end of the log and mark it where the laser dot is, when the level is placed on the rail. when you move your rail (what ever it is) re attach the board at the starting end of the log and find your level again once you have moved the rails forward.

hey presto

works for me anyway, and im using 2 x 3120's and a 84" bar with only 10' of rail.

woo hoo!!! milling rocks
