Nice milling. What kit are you using there? 

 

I have a fairly small mill and some big logs to mill up so I need to upgrade soon so looking to see what others are using that won't cost me an arm and a leg. 

I just got a china mill and then bought some aluminium profiles 30x30 mm and cut it to the right size. At the moment i am building a second mill for my 60" Cannon Super bar. The most importent part for me was to drill trhough the bar and cut a thread into my mill so i could bolt the bar to the mill for a faster chain changing process.

Hey up!. The army cadet base is still there, if that's what you mean. Been at Crowborough over 20 years now. 

 

Lots of new housing being built near mine. Planning was approved for 156 new homes 2 years ago. Big thing in the papers at the time. 

 

On the subject of milling. What is the longest bar anyone is or has used for milling with a 365 Special? and what mill were you using? Panther, Alaskan, etc.....?

I've got a 36" lopro bar which I run on my 365xtorq, not a huge amount but it hasn't ever struggled.

Thanks Dan good to know. I think a lopro is going to be the way to go for my milling until I can upgrade to a bigger saw. Don't want to use the 572xp for milling its a bit new and posh.
