Seriously impressed at how quick it knocks out dimensional timber.
Will be doing quite a bit of testing with different hardwoods and softwoods.

Been one absolutely crazy week.[emoji51]
Monday crippling back pain, day in office.[emoji300]️

Tuesday food poisoning.
Day mainly in office.[emoji300]️

Wednesday had wood turned down by clients.☹️

Thursday finished building and installing the Logosol [emoji3]
Today built the 60" panther mill with 56" GB bar.
Went for a granberg ripping chain to match and got a stihl ripping chain to compare.
Got an old elm log to try it all out on.[emoji12][emoji57]

I started making plywood Alaskan mills years ago, then bought my first "proper chillaskan".
Over the last few years I've destroyed half a dozen.
Milled untold boards and slabs.
The panther mill is a game changer for me.
It's so much more rugged and stable, even when compared to original granberg's.
The GB bar is pretty rigid for 56" of about 4-5mm steel.
And I'll be honest it cuts cleaner than anything I've used before.
Nearly flawless.
I think the granberg chain helped.
And that might be the most beautiful slab I've ever cut.

Still have to assemble the 80" panther mill before Monday, as we have a 5' sycamore crotch to cut.
And we just had these pippy oak and rippled beech delivered by a certain Arbtalker. [emoji106]

Been a crazy week.

Big beech. Chain just wasn’t right today but got through it.

Had to put the sycamore job off til Wednesday.
Back is playing up again.
Shouldn't lift quarter ton logs. [emoji849]
Found a use for monkey puzzle.
Log bed.[emoji106]
Started on this pippy oak.
Once the log is on the mill it's so easy and quick.
Brilliant for cutting square edge timber.
The cut is a bit wavey, but I'm using a 25" bar without nose support.
