I have spent the day milling up some white fir. I am using 100% off the shelf superstrut components. Everything is bolted together using strut nuts and strut hardware. I did have to add some bracing for the husky 61. The husky is a little undersized for this job. One of the problems with this setup is the sawdust blows straight up into the air and creates a huge cloud. However, not having to turn the log is great! I used the same guide rail setup for the alaskan without moving a thing.
One of the big advantages to the superstrut is that it is very adjustable. The guide rails are 20' deep slotted channel bolted back to back to increase the stiffness. This does make it heavier but I need fewer adjustments in the center of the span to keep it level. The sled glides like it was on wheels!
