A new age in chainsaw milling dawns with the Granberg Flip and Rip

[Rob D]

Hmmm... coming along slowly.... I've had a few problems with the lateral positioning so it may be the initial version is just for all out slabbing where you can fit your existing Alaskan into it....

 

 

The flipping through 90 degrees will come but in some ways getting that right is slowing things down a little...

 

 

Personally i think the frame the mill sits on still needs to be simplified...

 

 

 

So sorry - still nothing concrete to tell you

keep at it Rob, glad your getting it sorted out, still watching with interest

looks really impressive. looks a lot more sturdy than the logosol mill i have, which for me has been one of the downsides, lack of stiffness/sturdiness which is possibly the compromise you make with portability, one at the expense of the other. i like that you dont have to load the timber onto a bench either, seems a much better idea, more stable, and way easier to load. and the 90 degree cut offers you the opportunity of not having to rotate the log, on the logosol this could be a real pain manually, and securing an asymetrical log that weighs half a ton is not easy with their system, and you end up having to use a bungee. even without having used it it looks way out in front of the entry-level mills, where's the like button, and wish i had 2 grand.

The mill I have here works well - but it's just developed a few teething type problems which ok may well be down to my heavy handedness...

 

 

But I think it just needs a little more refining....

 

 

Will keep all informed if there's any more progress in that direction.

Bump bump, any updates on this?

[Rob D]

It's still getting developed although a bit painfully slow.... the model I have will be up for grabs for £950-00+vat soon - needs someone willing to tweak it to get the most out of it though....

 

 

But sorry no date for it being in production.....

Oh dear, don't think I should have read this.

I want one now!

[Rob D]

It's still going to be a while yet - the rails need improving IMO.... but it will get there in the end - just no idea when!
