Errr....So "Doris" dropped £750 on a bit of wood but remains "amazed" that you can use it for other things than looking at?

 

Can't wait to sell my trailer load of Elm slabs for the £17'500 these seem to be worth!

Looks like one of these. 

14~36" Adjustable Chainsaw Mill Saw Milling Attachment Cuttering Planking Lumber

1 x Portable Chainsaw Mill Planking Milling 14"-36". Can cut any length of plank and converts rough logs into beautiful...

As @Rough Hewn said in an earlier response. Often referred to as Chilaskan Chinese copy of Granberg Alaskan.

 

I had one on my 660.  36" bar and ripping chain from www.chainsawbars gave a28/30" cut.

 

Not as good as the Panther mill from Chainsawbars but a fraction of the price and quality.

Planks for table tops to begin with, fancy a 2" walnut plank about 6 feet long, maybe two 300mm joined together. I watched this guy on utube alot and he's real good.

Look at the 36” eco-mill from Chainsawbars.co.uk

They are really cheap and very accurate.
I’ve used these for years, still got a couple I use occasionally.
(before upgrading to panther mills).
You’ll need a 36” bar and several ripping chains, also get yourself a new sprocket and only use it with the ripping chains.
Or if you’ve got the budget get a Logosol chainsaw mill. It can slab, and it’s much easier and quicker to make square edged timber.

Ive found much more experienced and knowledgeable saw millers on arbtalk than on YouTube.
Seen too many videos which start with...
“Here’s my new mill I’m unboxing!
I’ve not used one before...
I’m wearing jeans,sunglasses and a baseball cap,
This is how it’s done everybody”...........

A book I recommend to all chainsaw millers is: Will Malloff’s chainsaw lumber making.
It can be found on tinterweb.

Hadn't seen this post. But looks like you bought one. I got it cheap on amazon during the first lockdown, doing a good job. Would rather buy a better one for easier adjustment, etc... but for now money is short so got this. Using a 28" bar on it so only able to get through maximum 20" at a squeeze. Hoping to get a 36" bar and chain some time soon.

Oh I thought it was expensive for the book ,sorry cant help with the link though but hopfully someone on hear can ,I would like to download it again as it was on an old tablet that broke
