Alaskan mill ?'s

A guy let me borrow his granberg alaskan mill. He ran it with
661 and 36" bar. I used it today with my 036 and 24" bar cutting
18-20" width. Seems perty slow. Im just using a standard chain.
The owner of the mill says hes used ripping and regular chain.
He claims they are the same speed. Any truth to this? My buddy
dropped and 044 off for me. Im hoping it makes things quicker.

036 is small to use cutting 20" wide. That's 70cc minimum for
me. 90cc is even better.

You need more power, that 036 is simply not up to the challenge
for ripping. Cross cut chain will cut at about the same speed
but leaves a little rougher finish. Chain saw mills are the most
economical and portable means of making lumber but are slow and
labor intensive.

Didnt you have a 7900? That would be the pick of the saws I
remember you had if so.

days I will drop it off to Nate. I work in his neck of the woods
6 days a week. I gotta quit buying things that go boom

Got some done this wknd with the 044. I'm thinking I need an
088! I have a lead on one.

Looks like a good pile of boards. 088 is nice but heavy. A good
compromise is a 395.
