I setup and made two cuts on a bigger log yesterday then today, switched to my 60" bar and made one more cut.
Water oak that is about 28" diameter and just over 9' long.
Hard to get an idea of the size of this slab since there's nothing to reference it to:
But here you can see the mill with the 60" bar on it and get a pretty good idea:
Like my little stack of logs waiting to be milled in the background?
Someone had asked how to keep the slab from falling off after cut all the way through if it's on a slope:
Had to switch to the 60" because I can only get 26.25" from the 32" bar even drilled through the sprocket. I can probably get another inch if I drill one more hole closer to saw on the bar. Even though this shows about 25", it was wider than that at one point. Took forever to setup to the 60" bar. The chain was in need of a good bit of attention and I'm really glad I did. It cut right through at a pretty decent speed. I timed it at 17 minutes to cut 25" wide by just over 9' long and that is including a couple of stops to refill the aux oiler, take a couple of pictures, and set the wedges. Timed it just right on this cut. I was done cutting and the saw was idling, cooling down and after a few minutes, it ran out of gas.
How's that for some pretty grain?
Somebody want to come help me move these monsters?
