Before hammering down the dogs sight down the rails to make sure they are not sagging either up or down. You will have to adjust the centers. The rail connecting hardware does not match for both or more sections staying straight. Use either eye ball or string stretch from end to end. The leveling screws will vibrate either up or down check often for wood contact or your rails will sag during the cut.
@@richardclemens6388 Thanks. I always eyeball it because while yes, there is some flex to where the rails connect, I never have issues with the rails sagging long as I tighten the screws down properly.
How deep do the dogs dig in? I’ve got a DIY (ladder) set up, but I end up needing to take 2”+ off for my first cut. It looked like you managed to pull it off with only 1”.
I tried using my granberg but I’m wondering if my stihl ms290 20” is not enough chainsaw to make these mill cuts. Any thoughts on that or what size would be good for milling?? Thx P.S. I live in Texas so I’m cutting TX oak, pine and hickory
@@ScottyDoesntKnow69 Interesting, that Stihl has over 50cc's which is what they recommend. This hickory was tough though so I could a log close to your max cutting width giving it a hard time. That saw should be fine for smaller logs. My saw has a 24" bar and has around 70cc's after the mods. Maybe try a muffler and carb mod to give more power.
I've often wondered why Granberg sells their rails in 5' sections. Ease of shipping possibly ? Seems like 9'-10' would be the minimum so that you could get a 8' cut with room to begin and end the cut.
@@cliffhaskett7703 Yeah I'm sure shipping has something to do with it, and I agree about that minimum length because no matter how well you seal the ends, they almost always end up having a few inches of checked waste. I will say I like having the 5' option though. Been plenty of instances where I've used just it on smaller, more valuable logs where using 10' would've been real awkward.
As all ready mentioned run a string from one end of the rail to the other end of the rail to adjust for dips and raises
@@justinmacumber Thanks, but why mention it again then?
Great video. Thanks for taking the time.
@@jonlyle4400 Absolutely, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the helpful video. What chainsaw are you using aand how long is the bar? Thanks.
@@soscattered6126 You're welcome, thanks for watching. Using a heavily modded Echo CS-590 with a 24" bar here.

@@JB-yg6yh The dogs only dig in maybe an inch, but I can set the mill to take off whatever I need.
