Hi Guys,
Im thinking of buying an Alaskan Chainsaw Milling set-up for milling some boards from big trees we remove on jobsites. I've owned a tree service for 15years and still never used one.
I was thinking about either a Granberg, or a Panther Panther Chainsaw Mills
I dont know if there are any others that are worth it because these are the only decent looking ones I've found. I cant decide between the two. Any suggestions?
-Granberg seems to be lighter weight, more user friendly and more easily adjustable, made of aluminum.
-Panther seems to be a simpler, cheaper, yet maybe stronger, steel set-up,, which also consequently looks like it makes adjusting depth and thickness more difficult?
I have a Stihl 660 Magnum. I hope I can do some damage with this saw, without wasting the saw in the process.. Will this just abuse this saw? Or is it a good size for this?
Thanks guys
ben
ps.. I was gonna fabricate some 2" angle iron into rails, with different size width options depending on the size of the tree, to use for the first cuts.
Is it totally necessary to fasten this to the log, or can it just be positioned on it carefully and securely? Will this be a problem? It seems pretty simple
