husky 266

[rem284]

Just started my old 266 up after about 5-6 years of being ignored for a 357. Started no problem and just cut some birch. I am thinking of using this for milling. whats the biggest bar I could put on this. its 3/8 at the moment, is there any advantage in going to .325, if so is it possible

Imo none mate , the 266 is a torquey beast make the most of it pulling 3/8 no bother 👍

24" bar on ripping chain would probably be its Max though.. Can you get skip ripping chain??

[Stubby]

24 max I would say . Also use semi chiz as it leaves a better finish . read that yesterday !

A 67cc saw is too small for milling, unless it is just small stuff. Milling is the most demanding cutting you can put a chainsaw to, a 24" bar has no business on that saw, for such use.
