I am milling some smaller reclaimed cedar logs (9-12 inches) with a granberg alaska mill. I have been setting the first cut to take off about 2.5 inches to give me a flat surface for the second cut. I am milling 2 inch thick boards.
Once done with a log I am left with the top first slice which is round on top and 2.5 inches thick and the bottom round piece which is also about 2.5 inches thick.
How do I mill an inch or half an inch off the round side to get a flat surface on both sides?
I am thinking sound kind of jig or rails where the board sits on it's flat side and I slide the mill down some rails?
Anyone set up something like this? Pictures?
It is going to be fairly repetitive so I am willing to spend some time figuring this out.
Thanks for ideas, thoughts or experience with this
