Alaskan mill Vs Logosol big mill?

[Ian Flatters]

Looking into buying a mill jig for a chainsaw and have been looking into the logosol big mill basic which is £500 odd quid, so weighing up the other options out there i.e. the Alaskan mill 30" to be exact and it only costs £180. So are the Alaskans a pile of poo? or are they great?

 

P.S im only milling for the sake of turning what would be firewood into a resource.

alaskan setup make perfect planks easily, time after time, but go for the 36inch one

I think its going to be the alaskan mill 36" looks better than the 30" good call Josh. Plus if i E-mail Rob D it says 10% off! so always a winner with me:thumbup:

i got a discounted alaskan off Rob was a good buy! love it! bought the 36" one, used with my sachs dolmar 153 and 25" and 36" bars, heres my mate using it when we tried it for the first time

i say go for a 36 inch as most people have a 36inch bar/have use for a 36'er other than milling, and you can use a small bar on a big mill, but not a big bar on a small mill! you also dont get the 'bar drop' when using a big bar on an alaskan, unlike the logosol. and the alaskans much cheaper! so much so that you could also get the mini mill-to square up the edges of a plank if youre realy fussy, and still have change!

if you get a really big bar, you just need to buy longer rails.

 

you wont regret it, theyre great fun

Rob D is a member on here who is one of the, if not the only uk supplier of alaskan mills and pieces, really nice chap, if you look on the alaskan mill sub forum i posted earlier on in this thread, you'll see his posts with a link to his alaskan mill website.
