My first 'big saw' a Stihl MS660

[Johnmac]

 

Looking forward to the weekend so I can have some fun with my new saw. One careful owner before me and looks lightly used. It's got a 25" blade on it but I've bought a 20" as I'll be using it on my newly acquired mini Alaskan Mill which I'm told can only be used with bars up to 20"?

 

School boy error for not having the foresight to think big! I don't think I've made the same mistake with the saw. I was thinking of a 441 or a 460, but decided bigger would be better and I've heard good things about the MS660.

 

Hopefully some milled lumber pics to follow!

Cheers for the tips folks. I already have a roll nose sitting on the living room table to be fitted tomorrow! Only a 20" bar, but that's all my Alaskan Mill can manage apparently, and to be honest I doubt I'll be wanting to mill any bigger until I've got my technique sorted.

I got a 460 been very good for me, had it for 11 years, and still going strong. Hope it will still do me a few more years.

Don't call it a blade or you'll get barred Tidy looking saw there.

If that was meant as a pub it was awful!
