I really enjoyed this video, been on a fence about either a Granberg,a bandsaw mill or this mill. I want to make dimensional lumber and beams. It has to be portable and versatile....so I can mill longer length lumber
@@whereswadlow44 definitely slower. I do have a mill but I can only do logs up to about 27inche dia. Was hoping one of these would work on the larger logs more then 27 inches. Whats the largest youve done? Whats the largest you suggest is capable? (not worried about speed). I know this is a PM14. i have seen a PM00390 but cant seem to find it on the internet. Do you know if the 14 is the same as the 00390? Thanks in advance if you respond.lol I know its an old vid.
@@BrnTanHides I'd have to measure but I would say no more than 20". If you need to push out past 27" I would suggest an Alaska mill. Follow @millbillies on Instagram, they're regularly stabbing stuff well over 40" with chainsaw.
Nice video! You have. Also archived your children and their tonka trucks. Great job!!! Thanks. Steve
Thanks 👍
Keen little mini Ross helper you got there
That sure is great machine I'd like to buy one too soon.
I’ve been waiting for this one!

If you want to make lumber efficiently I suggest a bandsaw mill on a trailer. This mill is more portable for remote areas ect. But it's way more work.

I have an Alaskan. I've slabbed upto a 42" log. According to the manufacturer, the pm 14 is maxed out at 24" bar length because how the saw mounts.
Super cutting machine. Are you using a classic chain 1.6mm = 0.63" and ground to a 10 degree tooth angle?
I'm using a Oregon Rip cut chain, it is a 0.050 gauge semi chisel profile with a 10deg grind.
@@whereswadlow44 OK thank you. good luck with your work 🙂
Electric motor is definitely the way to go. So much quieter and more torque for the chain as well.
An Electric motor kinda lacks the portability that makes the "portamill" good for packing into remote areas
You could run it off a generator like some people do with their Tesla’s 😉
It’s great chain sawmill! What degree chain you have?? It’s 45 or 10.???
10. Oregon ripping chain
I just found your video. I'm looking everywhere on norwood site for this and can't find it. Any help with a link???

Hows it holding up any regrets
I should have bought the tracks. I have a welder now, I plan on getting some and building a winch and ramps.
