Yes keeps it all straight, etc... I prefer doing it that way personally. Have tried without and find the mill has more friction on the wood surface than the metal on metal. So have done it like that for the last 3 years to a good result. Yes some small holes in the wood, but that's of no consequence really as they close up somewhat and there are all sorts of imperfections in timber anyway. 👍

If you don't screw the ladder down, I assume the mill slides on the ladder and the ladder sticks to the wood?

If you don’t screw the ladder down there  will be a lot more vibration I would say. Also don’t know if the ladder would stay where you want it. 👍

Yeah mate. I shouldn’t have bothered. 🤣 👍 the next sections are big! Could take me a while. It’s pretty fibrous to cut through. Haven’t found the ideal ripping chain for fibrous would yet.

I’ve often used a ladder for more than the first cut.

Especially handy if the first cut isn’t entirely flat.

Also when using big mills, 80”+ it’s much easier to start and finish with a ladder.

Im hoping Rob.D will be selling an

“every cut” system….

🤔😉
