Does anyone here Mill with a 120v chainsaw? I'm wondering because they have lots of torque and inside a building you won't have to breath the fumes.
Have you done any milling previously? It's murder on even the most powerful saw, let alone the operator.I've been thinking about trying it, but it'd be with a 40v battery saw, not even a 120v corded unit.

I'm gonna go out on a limb ( no pun intended )and say yes, you could, but would it be practical, I'm betting no. But give it a shot and let us know how it works.Yes.
I'm more concerned with actually being ABLE to do it, rather than what I would do on a regular basis.
Logosol sells them, but not in the USA (last I looked, cud not even get a price). It Runs a heavy 240v, about 10hp-15hp motor (from memory).

That's not going to turn out well
What saw for battery? A corded such as an MSE 250 is perfect for milling and has the same uses as an MS 261. It's bar ranges from 16" to 20" and I have seen people use this saw for milling.I've been thinking about trying it, but it'd be with a 40v battery saw, not even a 120v corded unit.

Yes, I'm based in the UK and use an Oregon CS1500 corded electric chainsaw (240 volts in the UK). Started milling several years ago using the default 18" Oregon bar with PowerSharp chain. Now using a 20" Panther guidebar with Stihl 3670 000 PM3 chain. (this needs a different sprocket easily fitted to the saw). This combination gives a really smooth cut and I can handle boles up to 16" diameter. Have milled oak, ash, sweet chestnut, horse chestnut, apple and alder amongst other woods. The resulting slabs used mainly for woodturning. See my You Tube channel for more detailsDoes anyone here Mill with a 120v chainsaw?

I mill with an 066 and sometimes wish it was an 088. I could not conceive using a 261 to mill with.

4 hp, 110? Nope, not possible. 1-1.5? Yes, on a 20a circuit.I have; I am. I use a craftsman corded electric 110v. It's a 4hp, 18 inch bar. It works. Yes, you have to go slower, and yes the motor heats up and I stop for a bit. It makes for a nice break from the noise and exhaust of the gas powered one. Craftsman stopped making the 18" one, so now you can only get the 16, which is less HP too, so I didn't buy one. I've been hoping to buy a used 18 for a back up. I saw another brand that makes a decent 18 as well, but haven't been inspired to try it yet. The neighbors sure appreciate it as opposed to the gas one, that's for sure.
