should I make a milling saw from a KX125 engine?

Thanks for the pictures . Do you remember the pulley diameters and the sprocket rpm that worked on the chainsaw mill ?

sprocket from Bailey's HS404 C12 05, 12 pin. Pulleys from Surplus center , 1-BK28-E, 2.95 OD, 1" bore, 1-BK77-E 7.45 OD 1" bore

Hey Clint,
That's an awesome set up, I've been planning on building something similar now for a few months.

Currently I run a Procut CSM with a Husky 3120 and a 'Rake' simplesaw homemade bandsaw with 16hp Briggs.

Anyway, I was wondering what the speed of cut is like compared to a larger chainsaw mill, that's if you've had experience with both. I use my Procut CSM to open the log up for the bandsaw to finish the milling, might be faster sawing if I do the same thing you did with the 4 stroke CSM?

Thanks, Steve.
