Getting stuff together now to do this myself.. keep hearing a stihl 029 (56cc) won't work to well but idc it's what I have and its very reliable. I think when making smaller boards 2x4 or 2x6's these smaller saws will work just fine.. a few sharp chains and some patience ... thks for the video
I ran an ms310 on mine for years. They get a little to hot because the exhaust is restricted. Do a muffler mod and you'll be fine. I cut 18" oak slabs with mine and it did oak,just slow goin
I've had the same mill for 2 years. I'd add that you should use a little more mix oil so you don't burn up your saw. I run a modded 044 and 046 with no problems. Keep your chain sharp and have a couple extra in case you hit a nail or piece of metal.
I hope that will good fuel mix and letting the saw run in it's power band, it should last the same as any other type of cutting... Hope for the best I guess! :)
Yeah, they should be. It just limits the width you can cut. Check the product description on the one you're thinking of buying to be sure. Happy cutting!
I think my chain was fairly sharp, but it's a small chainsaw that is probably too small for ripping work so it's got limited power to pull even a sharp chain.
Ah, the sweet sound of a Husqvarna saw! Good job!
You need a ripping chain bud
Good little set up, iv got a 445, such a ripper little saw
Good stuff Utmost 🙌👍
we use them here in northern Alaska because I can go in the plane (doesn't take a lot of room)... compared to flying lumber out, it's way way cheaper.
Very cool!
Pretty impressive! Amazing a lil saw can do that!!
That's an Alaskan Sawmill. Works great but requires lots of elbow grease
What is the make and model of your Alaskan sawmill?
@@PeterDSouza I had one 20 yrs ago.
@@DTWMTX do you have a make and model that you’d recommend?
@PeterDSouza Not really. There all pretty durable. Extruded aluminum.
Elbow grease = pushing chainsaw through log. Even sharp chain & green tree is still a chore.
Get a ripping chain, you need it.
is that the same as a skip tooth chain?
@@petebruinings6343
No its different
I'm sure you're perfectly safe/protected from kickback in some way; but this was horrendous to watch 😂❤

@@clem95627 absolutely, sound advice.👍
That little saw won't last long doing that. Trust me I've learned the hard way.

@@UtmostOutdoors it all comes down to duration. Too long of a cut and presto! she's blown. Best of luck!
Chain saw mill is definitely on my radar, how do you like it? Do you use it a lot?
I've only had it out twice so far, but it's really cool building things with wood you milled yourself! I love it.
@@UtmostOutdoors not to mention cost effective over time
Do you have to dry the log before ripping? Or do you dry after? Air dry or kiln?
I thought that was Jamie Lannister at first with the chainsaw
Winter is coming...
It's great idea. Did you built that stand yourself or you bought it from some where? What is it called?
I bought it from princess auto. It's called an Alaskan mill I think. It's petty cool!
@Utmost Outdoors thanks for quick response 👍
Hi is this adjustable to a 16 inch bar...?
Yeah, they should be. It just limits the width you can cut. Check the product description on the one you're thinking of buying to be sure. Happy cutting!
Is that pine? Does your chain get gummed up with freshly cut pine logs?
This was a standing dead tree, so it was pretty dry already. The chain didn't seem to get gummed up.
Just a little tip bro seems like you're chain is a little dull. Could be pushing to hard or I could be wrong.
I think my chain was fairly sharp, but it's a small chainsaw that is probably too small for ripping work so it's got limited power to pull even a sharp chain.
@@UtmostOutdoors It helps to shim what you've cut to reduce stress on the blade too.
Did you build the thing yourself?
No, I got it at princess auto and just had to modify it a small bit to get it to fit on my short 18" bar.
Question sir
Do you need a special chain?
I used a regular chain then ground out every second tooth.
Where’s your safety glasses?
For what? Little saw dust ain't gonna hurt ya
