it will if its an 029, but it will be REAL slow. The 029 is a 54 cc saw, and really doesn't have much torque, and thats what you want to mill. My 031 at 48 cc's will out mill an 029 all day long. For the record, I have milled with an 029, 16 inch yellow birch. It worked, is still alive, but I don't recommend it>>>>>>>>
