Hi there. I do firewood as my main business but thinking of buying a chainsaw mill to plank up anything nice now and again. Have no idea what to buy. I own a 562xp to use one on or 661 stihl. 
open to help and suggestions please. Rob 

I use an 066 for the 36" Mill and a 088 for my 48" Mill. Both have not seen the light of day since I bought a Bandsaw Mill though. :D

Ahh I see. What bandsaw do you run ? Can’t seem to find many secondhand ones around? Rob 

Ive seen loads on ebay lately. Its a pain in the ass as I looked for about a year and not a sniff then as soon as I buy my Band Saw they come outta the woodwork. :D 

 

I bought a Logosol B751. Takes a 30" Log and has a 600mm cant. Very well made machine.

Thanks , so I’d need 2 different mills ? 
Il have a look. Thanks. 

Depends what you'll be cutting and what into.
For simple planking a Chinese Alaskan would do fine.
For larger oversized logs I'd use a panther mill,
For stabbing up to 2', making beams and square edged planks I use a Logosol F2+.
What would you uses be?

I've managed to acquire a husky 385, assuming I don't have too many issues with the rebuild, I might like to do a little bit of milling, we've a few trees around the farm that would be nice to turn into something that we can keep around for a few years, my sister is building a log cabin in the next few years and a few bits for shelving, or a table would be great. 

 

What would be the best route to go down, I've had a look at the 36" ecomill package on Rob's site, apart from the bar and chain, I guess this would be a good place to start?

 

Can I start off with the 28" or 24" bars and chains (73 exl or lpx) I already own as a start to better to get a decent bar and milling specific chain to start with?
