looking into getting a small running for myself and friends, does my 346xp or stihl 650 make for a good milling saw?
You're 650 will make an adequate milling saw. If you're only milling small stuff, like 12 inch wide softwood, you can even mill with your smaller saw, but it will be slow. You're 650 will be fine though. It'll even mill big stuff like 30 inch oak, but a little slower than if you had an 880 or 3120.jefeVTtreeman said:looking into getting a small running for myself and friends, does my 346xp or stihl 650 make for a good milling saw?
My 395XP, which is I think about same cc as your 660, will mill through 24 inches of cherry about 4-5 seconds per inch with a sharp chain. Therefore, a 10 ft long slab should take about 10 minutes or so.jefeVTtreeman said:... any ideas on how long it takes to mill cherry that is 24" od and 10' lenghths
Dusty my 395 is working fine now. Thanks for asking.dustytools said:Not trying to derail this thread but I was wondering if you found out anything about your 395 Woodshop?
