    Still 661

    I have milled a couple logs with my new 661. It has the m Tronic setup. Everyone advises to run the saw lean when milling. I see why that is so. The theory is, if I calibrate the saw on 50:1 ratio, then to run it a little rich I can just add more oil to make it rich, like 40:1. Please correct...

    First chainsaw mill

    I have milled my second log. I am using the Bailey's ripping chain at 10 degrees. After my first log I checked the raker angles and found them to be around 5 degrees. I had touched up the cutters twice while cutting the first log. I then set the takers to +/- 6 degrees. It seems to cut ok. It...

    First chainsaw mill

    Thanks. Had a few things vibrate loose. I'll go back and use gasket maker on the bolts. An old drag racing trick used to keep nuts on. Also going to the local rubber store and getting some hose to go over the round rod to dampen the vibration. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    First chainsaw mill

    Got to use the mill today. Learned a lot. I will have to modify some things to work better. It was a successful test run on some smaller log before I do the large oak. I got lots of great information on here. That is credit to a good start today. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    First chainsaw mill

I also used it for some other tasks. If anyone has a pic of such setup it would be appreciated. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using...

    First chainsaw mill

    I went ahead and ordered some milling chain from Bailey's. India's not specify to the angle of the cutter. It would take forever to turn my regular chain to 10 degrees. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    First chainsaw mill

    I finally started getting my chainsaw mill put together. A little ahead of schedule because I have a post oak on my place that needs to come down. I have read many post on here to try and get a good starting point. I will be using a 661 with a 36' bar. One question I have is; should I get...
