A few weeks ago I got my 1st mill, an alaskan, 24 inch, figured it would be all I would ever need. I picked up an old 056 with a 24 inch bar, figured I was set to go. The 1st tree I go to mill is 24 inches. So much for my plans, only 18 inches of cut with my set up. After reading posts for a few weeks here , I checked out Baileys, ordered a 32 inch bar, and off ebay ordered the 36 inch upgrade for my mill, so I can go bigger later if I wish.
I gotta say this is addicting. I have milled a few smaller (12 to 16 inch) pines with this setup, I am just addicted. I can wait for my new bar, chain, and upgrade to get here so I can attack that spalted elm.
Had I discovered this site before I purchased, I would have gone for the 36 right away, but oh well. I've learned alot reading posts here and am sure I will everytime I come in here or mill a new tree.
Thanks for the great site.
