Hey guys. I have a 395 with a 36" bar and 36" CSM. I would like to have the capability to mill wider for the occasion I have a wider piece and want some big-bad-bodacious slabs. From the ads, sounds like the saw tops out at 50"
I just got off the phone with Granberg and they said they could sell me the the 56" rail upgrade for about $85. The 72" rail upgrade would set me back about $110. Both sound pretty good to me...(Sure I could design my own, but frankly my time is worth more than that right now). I already know that as I exceed 36", I'll need to add an auxilary oiler.
I'd like to go wider than 50" though. Can anyone chime in that can share some experience with this?
This would be an occasional type of set up. So speed isn't really a factor (of course, when does 'speed' really apply with csm-ing ). In other words, if the saw could handle it, just at a slower pace, I'm OK with that.
Thanks in advance for the help.
