I live in the Vancouver are but do my milling on my property in Princeton. Here is a short thread on the mill I built http://www.arboristsite.com/milling-saw-mills/153102.htm I have since done a bit with my 066, all I have done is make some 6x6" and 6x8" post and beams. But I have a blast...

Good point, I always forget there is many other forums here, I mainly hang out here. Off to the other forums I go. Thanks

Can any one tell me if Baileys' has an annual black Friday sale? I am going to order up some parts and wonder if I should wait until Friday to pull the trigger on it.

Trees are tinder dry beetle kill pine, they are very light. I can easily lift one of the 11' long 6"x6" post I made, so 4 guys could easily lift and move a 20' 8"x8".

Looks like you where right, don't know if I'll have a working mill before Xmas but I will try.

Well it works, I managed to make two 11' long 6X6 post from beetle kill pines off my property. The 032 did an Ok job, but it got hot and cranky. Hot enough that when you opened the gas cap to refill it the fuel was boiling. So now phase 2 of the project, I have picked up a Stihl 066 and a...

Well I got the second half of my mill finished, just need to wait for the snow to clear from my property so I can try it out. here are some pics of the mills

Here is a link to the thread on the mill I made this year, I did not get a chance to use it before the snow came. I will post up pics of it in action in the spring. http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=153102 And a pic of it.

I have kept all the bolts on the mill I just made 5/16" that way I can use the chainsaw tool on all of them (no need for more tools in the field) I was worried when it came time to drill my bar (everyone says its such hard steal) but the 2 holes I drilled in the bar (motor end) where easy to...

I just finished building a small mill for my 032 (similar size) here is the tread on it (see post #19 for pics of the mill I just built) http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=153102 Sounds like you have the same plans I do, test it out before spending the $$ Read my tread and let me...

Well I finaly found time to start on the project, funny thing is all I needed was 2 hours and it was done. I have the "small log mill" part of my 2 mill set up finished. Just need to paint it. I will be getting the base plate bent up latter this week for the "mini mill" part. Here are some...

And to think I wasted all that time re-reading it for nothing, still made mistakes. Thanks for quoting me, now there is no point in even editing to fix my bad typing. Oh well.

BobL, Your a welt of knowledge, thanks for all the input. I had not taken the length into account, good call, I will have to see how my saw dose on shorter rips. You ideas for the bar mount are great, I was thinking clamp for simplicity, but like you say, I would eventually forget to...

BobL, I am hoping that my 032 50cc saw will work out, all of the trees I will be milling are dead standing, tinder dry pine (pine beetle kill in a very dry environment). My saw cross cuts them like butter. I am new to this and from my reading here and elsewhere I understand that milling takes...

The reason for looking at a different design is I only have a 20" bar on my saw, and don't like the way a mini mill takes up 4 or more inches of bar (between the mount and the guide board). I have never seen a mini mill in person so I might be mistaken. I also would like a system that...

Thats a neat looking mill, but I was thinking of making one that is more portable, bring it to the log and mill in place. I am also hoping I can mill some long beams, as most of the trees are good and straight, so I should be able to make 20' (or longer) 8X8's. Has any one ever seen or...

Hello, I'm new here but have done lots of searching and not found what I am looking for. I am looking to build a mill to make post and beams out of beetle kill pines on my property. Most of the trees are 14-18" in dia. I have a Stihl 032 with a 20" bar, and am thinking of building my self...
