Today's milling


Rough Hewn

Recommended Posts

Couple of questions
People have mixed feelings about using a Chinese copy as a milling saw, but does anyone else use a makita 9010 saw for milling. I use one occasionally and find it suitable for stuff up to about 26inches which is the biggest I've done.
Also, due to people saying they try to buy British wherever possible, are there any true British manufacturers of chainsaws in existence ?
Cheers

Would be at its limit at 26"  but you could push it to 28" using a GB lo pro bar just go a little slower.
