Hi folks,
I'm milling for the first time. 18" cypress with an ms661 in a 36" Granberg. The vibrations are sending bits and pieces flying all the time, and my worst issue is that the bar clamp next to the powerhead is allowing the bar to slip back into the chain.
I'm combating all this with a new milwaukee 18V hammer drill with the side handle installed for stability. The drill is ripping out of my hands, whacking my hands into the csm frame, trying to sprain my thumb, and not solving my bar clamp issue.
How does a guy in my position proceed?
