Anybody doing any milling near or around Newmarket and would like a hand for a couple of hours. I'am thinking of getting a mill and would like to see some being done to get some idea of the best set up. I have got a 660 and was thinking of getting a 30" Alaskan mill. Thanks

im in cambs
the 660 and a 30inch mill is a good set up iv got that set up
and iv a got a 076 with a 48inch bar for milling to
iv got to do some milling for wolfman soon if u want to come have a play i will bring the 660 and a 30inch bar and u can play if u like

this is one of the jobs i done with a 30 inch 660 i no they bin posted before but thought it may help (it was 3 year old dead elm so hard )

Not sure if you're all done with this (been away on hols for a couple of weeks) but I've got a decent sized oak to do in Great Abington (A11/A505) shortly. 3ft dia at the fat end, with a sharp taper x 20ft long. I'll be breaking it down into cants I can trailer away. If you fancy this one then drop me a pm - It will probably be the 076/48" bar mostly, but if you want to try the 066/36" bar too then I could bring it along for comparison.

20ft lengths are always interesting to do - getting it all levelled to best effect. I've also been playing with my new toy - precision chain grinder from Rob D - so want to see how much faster the chain performs.
