What would be the longest bar you could put on a 394xp for milling? I have a 36" on it now and don't have any problems. I have had a few requests to mill some very large trees. One is a maple that is ~48-58" across. Also a red oak and black cherry in the 42" range. I would need at least a...

at work we use electric saws to cut our sips panels (plywood and Styrofoam sandwich). at most we are cutting through 1" of OSB plywood and minimum 7" styrofoam. you wouldnt think that would put a lot of load on a saw, but suprisingly it does. the bars and chains heat up to suprising levels...

looking for one of those carbs, doesnt have to be running, i can rebuild it. (as long as nothing major is wrong with it i.e. stripped jet holes, tree landed on it, went through the splitter, etc.)

I just got a jonsered 670, previous guy said it won't run right, and something is wrong with the high needle. took it all apart, the high needle is just sitting in it's place, not screwed in. easy fix, right? not so much when the threads are stripped in the carb. I'm trying to...

I have been heating my house with my Englander fireplace set up as a stand alone unit in my basement (not in a fireplace). it's been doing a great job, keeps the house at 64-70 even on the cold days. burn times leave a lot to be desired (usually 3-6 hours burning cherry and white oak), wood...

A couple guys at work were talking about some old saws they had, one had no spark, and the other was used as a parts saw. They offered them up to me to fix or use as parts, and i said why not?! this is what i got: Husqvarna 372XP, complete and runs, needs engine mount (spring to...

I have no idea what kind it is

It was big one! once i trimmed the ends up it was 38" round about 14 ft long. after milling it was 24"x32" on the fat end (only milled 3 sides) used the 394xp w/ a 36" bar, on my homemade alaskan mill. My employer got the log, but it was too big to fit on the woodmizer, so they asked...

decided today was the day to take down a white oak and start milling it into beams for a sugar shack build i am doing. the final product will be 5"x7"x16'-6". (rough length i am milling is 17'-7"). only got one cut done today, didn't get the tree down till 10:30, and cutting it to length...

I have heard from many people that milling is tough on a saw, but i have not heard what parts are known to go on a saw used in a mill. so from your experience, what are the most common wear parts on a saw used for milling? also, what measures are you taking to lessen the wear? I know some...

i just got a new 394 xp for milling, and picked up a 36" bar and chain for it, but my old alaskan would only go to 20". that's a lot of unused bar hanging out, and something had to be done about it. I had an old tablesaw laying around, and i took the rails for the rip fence off, and modded...

got all the saws together today for a fun time milling!! we are milling this stuff into 5" slabs, then gonna make them into 5x7 posts/beams for our new sugar house. had the new to me 394xp on the alaskan mill, and the 372xp on the beam machine. the jonsered 630 was there for limbing...

just won a 394xp on ebay, i didn't think i would actually get it for the price i entered, but i guess i did!! it's gonna be used for some milling, and general woods duty. honest opinions now, what do you guys think...

i have about $500-$700 to spend on either a new or used saw. the main use for this saw will be milling for the next year or so, (mostly hardwood, some red pine) then it will be used as a felling, bucking, milling, all around saw. i was hoping to have a 36"-42" bar on it. I have no...

hello everyone, I have recently come across a job to take down a massive red oak. the trunk alone stands ~30' tall, with no knots or branches, and about 72" DBH. i would hate to see this massive tree go to firewood, none of the mills in the area are capable of taking a tree of this...

just cleaned up some brush out back, and upon returning, began the usual cleanup of the saw. i noticed a bit of oil on the front of the saw, under the muffler, next to the dogs. at first i thought it was from the bar and chain, but after some closer inspection found the true culprit...

i am wondering if anyone has, or knows someone that has, a portable bandsaw mill in MA or RI. as mentioned in another thread, we are looking to build a sugar house using native lumber from our land. I built an alaskan mill in hopes of using it for this project, but the reality is that we need...

i was having an issue with some micro sawdust making it's way through the air filter, so i figured it was time for a new one. picked one up last week and cut with it today (one tank of gas). when i was done i pulled the air filter to clean it out and there was still some dust in the carb...

built this over the past few days (hour here, hour there) in hopes of milling our own wood to build a sugar shack for our maple syrup operations.... interested in anyone's opinion on it, and what should be improved or added onto it. i have never built one, or even used on for that...

i am going to be cutting down some trees to mill into dimensional lumber for building a sugaring house for our maple syrup. i am still doing a little research on whether it will be post and beam or traditional framing, either way i will be milling all the lumber for the project. the...
