ms441 for occasional milling

[scottishrob]

I've got an old 066 that I use for milling and occasional big jobs but to be honest it spends most of its time in the yard, daily saw is a tired ms341 and wee saw is an old 026 that has never missed a beat. Thinking of replacing the 066 and 341 with a new 441, has anyone milled with a 441 and will it pull the 30" bar off my 066? I only rip boards down once in a while when I come across some nice wood. Cheers

I wouldn't go any bigger than a 25" on a 441, and would use a bigger saw for milling, such as the 660 or bigger. Sounds like you need a new two new saws. A 660 and a 362.

Makita DCS7901 on a 28" bar. 6.3hp and my favourite of all saws I've ever owned. Cheaper than a Stihl 362 and only a fraction heavier with a lot more power.

Get a 461 not a 441, theres hardly any increase in weight or price.

7901 is marmite and you will get one probably in 100 which is as good as yours. Most either fall to bits or implode

 

441 all the way, I've got the C-M and its the favourite of all saws I've ever owned. Each to their own and all that!
