Hi guys:
I’ve got a Stihl MS290 with a 20” Oregon bar on it. I’m using a small Granberg Alaskan chainsaw mill.
To date, I’ve been using a regular chain. Unfortunate, I hit a couple 8D nails today and buggered it up. I sharpened it and used it for the rest of the day, but it seems to be dulling quickly.
I’d like to try a ripping chain, I haven’t used one before. Any recommendations for one that I can grab off Amazon?
I mill occasionally for random projects. I’m currently milling eastern white pine for shed siding. Boards are 14’ long x 15-16” wide and it’s taking me 18-20 minutes per board. I cut the sides off with some vertical cuts, so it’s a big clean block of heartwood with no bark. Does that seem about right given the smaller saw and size of wood?
