Chilaskan from RobD

[SteveA]

Recently ordered a Chilaskan chainsaw mill from Rob and I've just completed putting it together.

 

Quality looks much better than I expected - although I did need to re-drill out a few of the holes as they had a bit of casting in them so the bolts didn't push through.... but not a big deal, a simple fix. Also had to elongate the holes in the plastic cover as they didn't line up very well.... but again, a simple fix.

 

This is a 48" version Chilaskan and it'll be used with a Stihl 880 on a 42" Sugi bar.

 

Hopefully it'll last long enough to mill some lumps of oak on our farm.....

cheers, Steve

For it to be properly chillaxing you'll need a winch kit 😜

It really is a Chilaskan, honest guv.... made in China version of the Alaskan mill.

Hey guys, I think I've got a similar chilaskan.

How's the milling going, what are you ripping?

I haven't done any milling yet but planning on cutting oak beams and braces from a bunch of oak trees lying on the ground and cobbling together a seasonal workers dwelling.... need to order a few more things before I start milling.

It's been a while but for the first I actually got to mill some oak today. Fun

I'm making a couple of gates.... all heartwood.

The 880 is a beast, frightening what it can chew through.

 

Can anyone tell me what size combi spanner I need for the 880?.... the bar nuts are 19mm but I don't know what the spark plug size is?

cheers, Steve

I use the standard stihl spanner that came with the saw, so if you're saying the bar nuts are 19mm that's what the spark plug will be
