Are you running an Aux oiler on the mill?
I find I have to run an Aux oiler even for a 42" bar let alone a 60".

What's that brown stain on the sapwood, is that some kind of spalting?

Bummer about hitting the nail and mangling your chain - it must have been a hardened nail or maybe you just hit it real hard? Usually I just cut through regular nails and later I notice the thing ain't cutting as fast.

OH YEAH, deffinantly running an auxilary oiler on the mill, but was wondering about a different oiler for regular cutting conditions..im sure its fine, but i always like to be on the safe side.

actually, since the cuts i filmed were at the end of the day, and i left right after wards, i didn't notice the staining till i saw the pictures. I didn't find much evidence of it tho in the upper portion of the trunk where we were milling, it very well could have been that.

as for the nail, all the ones i saw were oriented radially in the tree, so what ever i hit while cutting the rounds, was most likely in line with the bar....
