Hey there new guy here just picked up a Homelite 750 saw looks in good shape wanted to know if anyone has ran one on a mill and results also wanted to know if anyone has had any experience playing with these saws as far as porting goes ?

I have a 750 on a mill. I rebuilt the saw when I got it, and have cut a lot of slabs with it. It works fine for my purpose as a hobby Miller. I have used a stihl 066 on a mill, and the old Homelite definitely takes the win in my opinion. Tons of power in that machine.

What size bar ?

 

[Captain Brown]

36” currently. And there is still plenty of power left over. And, the back up manual oiler helps out on that saw as well while milling.

Nice thanks for the response didn’t know there were too many of these dinosaurs left around

Yeah, I don’t think there are too many left, and most of what are left are sitting in a collection. I have the one I use, and 3/4 of one for parts. I’ve cut a lot of slabs with mine in the last 4 years, and it hasn’t missed a beat. It just guzzles fuel and cuts. If you decide to use yours for milling, at least I’ll know I’m not the only one running one on a mill...
