    Panther mill II

    Everyone who has ordered from us has gotten thier mill, some have waited a long time but they have gotten what they ordered, we are busier than we have ever been and I communicated this to you, you ordered a large custom carriage which is finally being put together, some of this is my fault as...

    Panther mill II

    To big oak, honestly I had never heard of this issue before and I hear from a lot of customer's through e-mails and phone calls about how well our mills do work, I really have not had any negative issues communicated to me directly, and we've built and sent out thousands of these mills. From...

    72" panther mill problem

    I personally have never had the sliding problem and I run 3 of my own mills, but I also don't run the bigger stihl saws, I've built thousands of these mills with a very healthy positive feedback directly from my customer's, I would say the sliding problem has to do with either not tightening the...

    72" panther mill problem

    hey guys got some time to look at this the short side should be out, if there's not enough thread, tighten the clamps down a little to flatten them slightly, you shouldn't need to go buy new bolts, the ones supplied works and I think in the instructions unless I'm mistaken it does address that...

    Panther mill II

    I am surprised by some of the comments, but I do stand behind the design of our mills, we will never please everyone, but we do please way more than not, and for our price point I think we put out a great mill, not the prettiest, but definitely functional, and that's what a mill should be, I...

    Milling experience: is this normal ?

    Also if the logs have been down for awhile are you cutting 6-8" off each end this will dull your chain a lot, you should be getting nice course sawdust the whole way through, just sounds like your both working very hard to get through the log, which you shouldn't have to do. Is it a fairly...

    Recommended saw size for max 20-25" bar Panther mill 2/alaskan

    While using a smaller saw to get you going and see if you like milling is acceptable. I agree with 80cc being a good milling saw, even though I have used my 440(about 65cc) for smaller logs with the 25" bar I still run an auxiliary oiler, as it does seem to make a difference it definitely helps...

    Ordering directly from Granberg...Experences?

    If you haven't heard from them I would probably just give them a follow up call or e-mail and see where they're at with your order.

    Panther mill II

    Bob great input thank you, and Dave it really appreciate the kind words, thank you so much for that. But I did get to thinking about your trapezoidal problem, after all it is the first I've heard about it and I use a 3120 and have never seen that problem, so I started thinking what would cause...

    Panther mill II

    Hi I wanted to respond to a couple of things, what might have been causing the weird cuts is you have the skid rail or H-shaped rail upside down, did you weld the new cross piece on the same time you made the other modification? This will start the bar cutting at an angle to the log, I have...

    Panther mill II

    hi I am very sorry about the finish, unfortunately at the time we were forced into using a water based finish, until we got things straightened out, add to the mix we we're extremely busy and shorthanded, not a good mix, however those issues have been resolved including lead times of less than a...

    Water or oil for bar tip lube on CSM?

    I was told about using pine sol and water in the auxiliary oiler from an old time miller, has to be real pine-sol not the generic stuff, it works really well and is alot cheaper than some of the other alternatives

    Depth gauge on PantherMill

    hey guys interesting discussion on some fixes for the mills, you can also try a small bearing at the bar clamp mounted between the bar clamp on the bolt you tighten to keep the bar in place, if your having problems with the clamp catching on your logs, the only trouble I've had with that has...

    Noob with successful run

    hey thanks for the mention on my mill, but it sounds to me like you did alot more right then wrong, and you seemed considerate and respectful of your tools, I've had a chain break also, stopped dead in the cut, the unfortunate accident with the guy hit in the face probably was a result of...

    panther cub versus granberg mini mill

    hey I am very sorry to hear that, but you should of called me, and I would of made things right, my mills have come a long way and the quality has improved quite a bit, that was probably the old design you have, the new ones are rock solid and work as they should, but even the old ones worked...

    Need Help Picking a Small CSM and Chain

    hey thanks its always good to hear good feedback, but I have to agree with the 50cc, use it to see how you like milling but try and find yourself a bigger saw, deals can be had all over, I bought a used husky 3120 a few months back for about $300 and it runs awesome most of the saws I have...
