I will set up my milling operation as soon as Jacob sends me that SP125...

I'll send you an 075 to do your milling with....this 125 is going to be too nice to actually use, other than for impressing the ladies at the GTG's....
Is there a difference between milling and serious milling?...lol......This makes me want to build a dc electric chainsaw for milling. That is more in my mechanical expertise. I've built several electric vehicles and I know it could be done. Robb

To be honest... milling is milling, and it is hard on any saw...
Gary
I hear it is a bit hard on the operator as well.
Actually I would think the power cycle of a large electric motor would be far more conducive to milling. My grandpa used to talk about how much more efficient things were when the gang saws were switched over from steam to electric.

How big were the logs you were milling and how many did you cut? I dunno but like everybody else said pull the muffler and look at the piston and ring, that'll tell you for sure...

thats a little ways since i get 13mpg but ill see if i can't drop in sometime
Well I have a 24V DC electric vehicle motor that is just begging for something to do.....plus I have a big controller for it......doesn't sound too far fetched to me. Of course the batts would have to be feeding it through a Cord because of the weight..........don't laugh...I may try it.....Robb
That would be great!!........Thanks.....Robb
24" bar logs were about 15" I've cut a grand total of 2 of them at about 5 feet long......Robb

Sad to say,, but if you mill with a comparable Stihl you won't have any better luck, particularly if you don't mess with the carb first.

My 066 is feeling the pain in 20 inch logs... 15 can present a heavy load for such a small saw.

Sure would like to see a pic of the muffler side view of that piston.
