Screw the guide rails to a straight peice of 6x2 or a good scaffold bored, then screw that to the log using 2-3 3 inch screws

I've put the guide rails on some 4x2 but want to try and avoid screwing that to the timber i'm logging or is it to much hassle to bother with?

To be honest screwing is the Easiest way and the screw doesn't really go in the the usable part of the log anyway, not really sure how else u could go about it

I'm on about the vertical mini mill. I'm milling some 6x6 posts and wanted to try and avoid screw holes in them I can't see how i can avoid screwing into the usable wood at the moment???

Mill the 6x6 bigger. If you put the top and bottom cut to make it 7-8 you would then have extra to not worry about screw holes. 2 vertical cuts to make 6" then remove the remainder to make it square. Does this make sense?

 

Haha not really..... you may have to elaborate! thanks for the replies though!
