I have read a lot about 2100's being good milling saws. I already have an 066 but am wondering how they compare in a milling application. Anyone have any experience with both for that purpose? Pros, cons?
Got one on a 257 husky and use it all the time.poleframer said:I agree, many pros and cons to each design. I use a log wizard and went from using an 026 to a hva 51 due to the air filtration. I couldnt make it thru a tank with the stihl (really sucked in the barkdust), but the air induction system on the husky hardly clogs at all, with a shroud attached. Anyone use these?

These things really bite fast!!! Poleframer dulls his blades to keep it from taking too much off. They are not hard to use,actually very easy to use.To bad someone near you doesn't have one you could try. They will take bark off so fast,I wish I was close to you. You don't have to designate a saw to it either,Just a bar and chain.You can't loose to much because if you don't like it you can always sell it.Bet if you get one,you keep it.Just my .02woodshop said:looked at that log wizard a few times, didn't bite yet. Just not sure the cost and especially the time it takes to use it would be worth it to me in the long run. How effective is it, and how easy is it to use?

lumberjackchef said:Thanks for all of the useful info guys! I've used my 066 to mill a little and it seems to do a fine job , but I've been thinking of getting the 2100 to run a longer bar than my 36". Never thought of the air injection and clutch placement. That log wizaed looks like it would be great as well. How many cc saw is recommended for that thing? Anyway, all great info to consider before making a purchase. Thanks again.
And man does it throw bark! here are my chaps, have to scrape them down every so often. From what I've read of your posts, you'll use it. I like 50cc saws for it, I dont think you'll need more power, and weight is an issue, because you kind of need to hold the saw up a bit. If you let the tip lay too hard on the log it will want to dig in.carvinmark said:These things really bite fast!!! Poleframer dulls his blades to keep it from taking too much off.
