I'm aware the 71cc is a bit small for a milling PH, but I'm wondering about roughing out some 4x8 and 10's in green white and red oak?
I need to build a boardwalk and would rather not swallow the expense of a bigger saw, and don't want to wait until my BSM is done either. I'm thinking of making something like a beam machine and getting started cutting over the winter if conditions are favorable (not too much snow). Being able to move the wood into position while the water it will traverse is frozen is another distinct advantage to working on it now too.
I have a 20" bar, and that would likely handle all the trees I'll be milling. I can modify chains to 10 degrees too - there's no problem there. I just don't want to burn up the saw in the process. The boardwalk will be about 250' long, so the volume of lumber produced will be somewhat substantial.
Thoughts?
