Hi Gents,
I'm new to CS milling and planning on getting a Alaskan 36" mill. I own a new MS660 and a MS390. I don't plan to do any milling with the 390 though might use it for the mini mill to do the edges. I'm in Australia and own a small 50 ac block and just plan on milling timber for myself, just bridge timbers and stuff for building a barn so just posts and beams etc.
To start out with I was thinking of at 36" bar and 2 ripping chains plus a aux bar oiler. Do you guys think this is enough to get me going?
Thanks in advance Jason
P.S I'm only looking at cutting mostly hardwoods like stringy bark, black wood peppermint gum and Vic ash. I run the saw in well before milling too!
