Pete a word of advice. Milling is hard on a saw and they run pretty hot. So once you finish a cut, let the saw idle for a little bit before turning it off. It gives it a chance to cool itself down to normal working temperatures. Good video as allways though.
And before you question my comment I have been cutting Aussie hardwood for the last 40 + years as has my father who has spent an entire career cutting hardwood and softwood sometimes in extreme teperatures using Stihl chainsaws and never has the ignorant and stupid belief of letting a chainsaw "idle down" come into play, you are a fuckwit wannabee expert who has no idea!!
@@Wedget two or four stroke makes no difference in this case. The saw runs very much on the hot side when milling as one is on the throttle all the time flat out unlike when felling trees or cutting firewood. When you idle it down for a half a minute or so, the " fan" gets a chance to cool the engine off a little before shutting it down. if you don.t do that, the oil between the rings and the cylinder burns away and it can seize up. Had it happen more than once on two stroke bikes back in the day. Where they ran fine in the race, then seized up after shut down. Pulling the jug then told the story.
@@Wedget I guess daddy wedge and you know better than the people who actually build the damn saw......good to know, any more tips the manufacturer needs to know?
@@blake20054Ha ha you crack me up I reckon you need to get off your lazy fat arse and go and get an honest job, work hard,contribute to the economy and then you get a feeling of satisfaction and worth which I am guessing you have yet to experience, oh and if you don't mind please do not patronise my family thru name calling, anyhow you have a lovely day Sir😘🥰
I just ordered something similar to the beam machine to try and mill some beams and lumber for a shop I'm building and other home job. Great videos brother keep up the good work!
With those beam machines, I see that there is a lot of excess play while you are cutting. The width of the channel of the jig is wider than that of the 2X4 creating a lot of sway from side to side. I would rig up something that would eliminate that play or rip a 2X6 the exact width of the channel so that you will get a more true rip. JMO. Cedar is a soft wood to cut and work with but is hard on the cutters because of the fine silt sand that is imbedded in the tree as it grows. A lot of guys who have bandsaws won't even bother cutting them because they are hard on the blades. Food for thought. Nice to have all that acreage of forest to use. Cheers!
Hello Pete, them board s are looking good. When I rip boards with my chainsaw, I install a ripping chain or take a regular chain and grind the angles at about 10 degree. This will help your saw from jumping so much and gives a smoother cut. I usually order my chains from Baileys and they last a long time. Cedar boards are nice. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin
Raised beds? Those are nice WRC STK boards. Those board are expensive at the lumber yards. If you want to make raised beds use the first cuts on all four sides... better use for the sapwood or use the sapwood for stickers. I would just use really small logs and take one cut off the top,. Then repeat on top and bottom and stack. Just my thought.
Possibly mate, if you experience this chatter slow down and feel your way through the cut, the more you file the rakers down the more tooth grab you get as the rakers control the depth of tooth cutting the wood. Generally the softer the wood the more the rakers can be filed down but there is a fine line between too much and not enough.
Nice job and thx for the informative video, what Husqvarna model you running with HP ? Had a 450E wonder if will be powerful enough even my logs are small and thin but got most oak here, just make raised beds as well
If you have a table saw you'll loose less to kerf. Just use the beam machine for two flat sides and then to the table saw.

There is no reason to let a saw" idle down", they are 2strokes , can you explain the theory behind your view please?

What type of chain are you using

It really sways when you hit the ground

Impressive work. That will be very helpful around the homestead making your own planks
Looks like lots of fun. I love working with cedar. Smells great and easy to work with. Take care Pete.
With lumber costs now, anything you can mill is money saving
The dirt in the bark from dragging the log will dull your chain quickly in my experience.
Good show.

Awesome stuff mate.
I've heard that the chatter your saw is experiencing approaching vertical may be caused by your rakers being filed too low. ?
I filed them with my raker gauge but maybe when it’s a cross cut raker is different depth than ripping have to check into that. Thanks for watching
Possibly mate, if you experience this chatter slow down and feel your way through the cut, the more you file the rakers down the more tooth grab you get as the rakers control the depth of tooth cutting the wood. Generally the softer the wood the more the rakers can be filed down but there is a fine line between too much and not enough.
Why do people seesaw with their chainsaw rigs ? That’s Not how you should do it! Slow steady no rocking almost vertical blade is best result
Kinda can’t do that that low to the ground... and you’ll dull chains faster going about it your way.

Pena que eu não entendo nada do que ele fala
Shaking all over !
