contemplating a chainsaw mill of some sort. Ive got a stack of pine that has been down for a couple years. The logs are all cut to 16'6" and vary from 8" up to 24". My intentions were to bring in a portable mill but never got around to it. My immediate needs are for about 500 bdft of various lumber to finish my wood shed (2x6 and 2x10s). I could always use the extra lumber for something else (tree stand, suspension bridge, fire wood pallets etc.). Current saws are a MS310 and MS 440.
I use the 440 most of the time. Ive thought of selling the 310 but it was my first fathers day gift so its not going anywhere. Buying another saw is out of the question.
Total cost for lumber needed now is about $375. Should i put that money towards a mill and cut my own? Im going to need to start filling this for winter so another issue is timing. With a 310 or 440, what is a rough estimate on milling framing lumber?
