Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the milling forum (and new to milling). I hung out on the chainsaw forum for a while a few winters ago.
I did a little milling last year for a friend. I used his setup of 2 used 385XPs and a 54" Alaskan mill. I didn't know much about milling (and still don't) but found that I liked doing it very much.
It looks like I will be milling for him about every other weekend so I want to make sure I'm up to par with technique and make sure I'm not making it harder on the equipment and myself.
We've been milling mostly 45"+ vermont sugar maple. We've had some beautiful slabs. I don't have pics to share right now, but next time I am at the shop i will get some of the slabs and of some finished product.
Travis
