Thanks for your kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I had a blast playing, I mean demonstrating the Logosol chainsaw mill. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hi Tony I was just looking at one of these . 👍 . I do a lot of chainsaw milling . Hard and soft wood . I use Stihl ripping chain and a 661 and 461 with lightweight bars dedicated only for chainsaw milling . Clean the logs with air or pressure wash first . If you are the person that has the talent too sharpen and tweak chains good skills with saws you can have lots of fun and be successful at milling . It starts with planning and setup . That mill is designed for people like myself and others that have experience . I’m really liking it 👍 . Would be a game changer for me . All the right features and compact . Thanks for showing this 👍
Stephen, the Logosol F2+ is definitely an alternative to a traditional bandsaw or circular saw mill. Looks like you are serious about milling. I can see having a lot of fun with this piece of equipment. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
I totally agree Del. The simplicity is the other thing I like about it. My wife tells me I’m bad with math, but as long as I can hear the click I think I’ll be ok😂. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Aluminum construction good working height, portability & simple adjustment also having the dogs make this an attractive unit ...I Like it and thanks for the presentation.
Yup you nailed all the features, it’s an awesome piece of equipment if you don’t want to invest in a bandsaw mill but want quality results. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Good morning Tony! Logosol makes really great products. This is a great little mill for making slabs like that, those knots are beautiful eh. Thanks for sharing! Take care
Keith, ha ha. owl dung. that sounds like a In The Woodyard “Chris-ism”. You definitely won’t be disappointed with any of the Logosol products. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
A couple of neat things you can do with the Logosol chainsaw sawmill that no other sawmill can do is mill tapered posts. Use V-blocks and you can make tapered octagon posts, a potential big $ maker.
James it was a bummer I couldn’t make it this year. Im glad you enjoyed the video. I plan on attending PB next year. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Love that Logosol quality- just got their Smart Holder. Called the lumber yard to order 12’ 2x4’s - all out of 127 footers! Great video Tony, take care
Jacob, now I know why so many woodhounds splitting firewood go to the next step. It's really addictive every time you open a log to find a beautiful piece of wood. The only thing is you can't keep that tootpick in your mouth unless you want to eat a bunch of sawdust LOL Thanks for watching and commenting. TCT
@@TonysCoolTools 😂😂. That made me laugh!! I’ve been interested in an Alaskan sawmill for awhile but I like this better. Maybe someday I’ll invest in one. Thanks again Mr. Tony!!
Very informative, Another job well done. Plz swing down to Chris and do a vid on his Split force before it goes away. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share with us
Jeffrey, any of the Logosol sawmills (chainsaw or bandsaw) are capable with optional accessories to do incredible wood processing. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Cliff, you are so right. Competition has caused companies to step up and become innovative and we woodhounds are the winners. You folks in NZ have your share of awesome products as well. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I can definitely see having a lot of fun with the Logosol mill. Glad we’re getting some cooler weather so we can “play” I mean work in the woodyard! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Kinda gave short shrift here to the F2+. There are quite a few differences aside from width capacity. If you do use these for the portability they advertise, one of the huge benefits is thst the F2+ guide rail comes off as a unit. May not sound like much, but it makes moving it a lot easier. Another side-effect of the detachable guide rail is that you can use it with only the carriage and/or Logosol's Timberjig for ultra-portable milling that's more accurate and more compact than an Alaskan mill. Nice overview of the F2, but for portability, flexibility, stability, AND capacity, definitely take a closer look at the +
You make valid points for sure. I didn’t want my initial video to get to long so I have plans on showing additional attributes of the F2+ in a future video. I have multiple accessories to show on this extremely versital and portable mill. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT

James the folks at Hartville are a Stihl dealer and told me they have to press out the captive nuts. You then have the old style nut system. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Ut oh Tony before long you know that family and friends are going to be asking you to make some lumber for them huh 🤔 and you know that Chris will probably be the first one to ask that question 😮😊❤just saying
Hi Tony, I don't know if you were at Paul Bunyan, but sorry I missed you if you were. We were there all day Saturday, I couldn't find Chris either. Anyway, thanks for the nice demo. But it's just too slow for me and I worry about wearing out the chainsaw. So, I'm thinking about a Norwood or something similar. Take care and thanks again for the video. Shalom/gw
I couldn’t make it this year to PB. Depending on the HP of a gas powered bandsaw it would probably cut the time in half depending on the type of wood you were milling. Naturally you want to match the tool to the job you’re doing. If you plan on milling a lot a bandsaw may be the way to go and as you know Logosol makes gas powered units as well. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Jim for the demonstration I got the mill as level as I could. Ideally when I move the mill to an area it will stay at I’ll use cinder blocks or 6 x 6 piecies of wood that have been leveled for my foundation. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Then you are one of the lucky ones. Hartville Hdwr, Lemans, Paul Bunyan Show, and the Rock n Roll hall of fame. Does it get any better😂 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Larry I'll have to check how much gas I used. This might be a good alternative for someone getting in to milling lumber but doesn't want to spend a lot of money like a gas powered bandsaw mills. I'm a firm believer in matching the tool to the job or task at hand. If you're planning on milling a lot you may want to go with a bandsaw (and Logosol makes those as well). Thanks for watching and commenting,. TCT
ha ha it works well with both Husky’s and Stihl. If you noticed I mentioned using a Husky 592 XT or the Stihl MS661 to get faster cutting times. ironically there is a back story about the CEO of Stihl giving the inventor backing and support when no other chainsaw manufacturer would. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Wayne as Chris would say it’s slicker than owl dung. The saw is attached to the carriage (orange plate) with the two adapters. The orange plate and the attached chainsaw glide on a tongue and grove system of the 13’ top guide bar of the mill. All you do is push the saw slightly to mill wood. Hope I explained it to your understanding. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
@TonysCoolTools Thanks...I understood from video how slide attached to saw, just wasn't sure if slide then attached to mill or just the weight of saw held it on the 13 guide!👍
Timothy, for me it’s just hobby milling and not production milling. I agree if someone was serious about milling as a business a bandsaw or circular saw would be the way to go. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Bill chainsaw mills are not meant for speed. Even a bandsaw mill is a slow process. Most people think milling lumber with a 40”-50” circular saw blade that takes seconds is how lumber is produced. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I don’t believe I mentioned it was a 10° grind but I did say it was a ripping chain. It was a Stihl brand ripping chain.. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT

You didn't show what to me would be the most interesting part - cutting the last board and how the log stops would be out of the way. Other than that - neat1
Ray, I didn’t want the video to get to long. I’ll be making more videos on this mill and will try to add that in. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
We are fortunate that there are several options available for us woodhounds. Budget is a major factor in which mill you buy. Though bandsaw mills are faster they are more expensive and not as portable. I agree if you’re planning on milling a lot of lumber the bandsaw is the way to go for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Where did Logosol find a 128' long log that was straight enough to mill a 2x4? Be careful getting a better chainsaw mill set up. It leads down a slippery slope towards bandsaw mills and another addicting hobby. Just like firewood.
