Remote controlled (almost!) double ended chainsaw milling!

[Rob D]

Have a look at this vid!

 

 

Tidy set up and certainly takes some of the strain out of milling!

 

This is at test stage really but he has a very large beech to do soon....

Class cheers for posting Rob.

[Big Beech]

Good use of wedges

 

Looks like a beaver knawed at the base of that big log

looks good from what i could see the back handle area of each saw seemed to be bouncing under load etc you would not get this is your hands where on it perhaps consider a small fabric strap etc to ease the stress etc just in a diagonal way if you get the drift

26 seconds in there's a office chair in back ground he could make good use of will he was milling.

[Stephen Blair]

Clever guy!

[gobbypunk]

Cool set up but I also noticed the power head bouncing a bit and thought a strap of some sort would be a good idea , but appart from that , very cool I like it , someone please make me one of those remote control boxs

Cheers Mark

If that's the speed of chainsaw mills,with two big saws running? Would drive me mad, just glad i went for a Peterson mill.

I don't think they are running flat out as he is clearly in the development stage. Mine runs twice the speed I would say, also he has mismatched saws which may affect things (I'm not sure).

Yep chainsaw mills are always going to be slow - but they can do the wide stuff and are fully portable.

 

 

Also not everyone can afford a Peterson... A chainsaw mill and a swing mill can't really be compared as the costs are not in the same ball park.
