I new if I got u on board Alec it would be good just trying to help people out mate Your rite the 070 is urs as far as a 48inch bar goes I would rather buy a 52 inch GB bar it roller noise and more solid the stihl 48 is a good bar but its hard noise and don't think it runs as well as a roller noise

for the first report the 076 its a great saw everyone iv contracted my self out to it has work well for cut big timber ( cross cutting ) its just a saw u have to be quite fit /strong with ,if your a small bloke u may struggle to use it right as a milling saw the 076 is great so much power I use a 36,42 and 48 inch bars for milling it will take a bigger bar but I think these bars are the best bars to fit to this saw the main bar I use on the 076 is a 42inch bar for cross cut and mill it just really seams to likes this bar its not to small not to big just rite this saw is a great milling saw only 1 thing wrong with it witch does not make it the best saw I have for milling when u get to the last 2-4 cut depending what size boards your cutting is the exhaust point down wards witch means all the saw dust that is on sprocket side starts to get thrown up in your face witch u don't get on a stihl 441-460-660 -084-088 husq 298 etc but a fantastic saw for milling big wood to 48inch bar and to be fair if it was the only saw I had for milling I would be happy

:lol: **************** cheers Steve

the 070 is just about to be broke in mate at the mo the 076 gets hit had that's some nice timber josh

iv seen this Q's pop up quite a lot what saw do I need for milling, what's the best saw for milling , what saw do I need for milling and will this saw take this mill so thought to help some people out I would try and start a what saw do u use for milling and what do u like about the saw u use some people on here may have used a number of saws for milling so there in put would be great this may not be a great idea but if your new to milling or want to upgrade ur saw this may help I will start iv used a stihl 441 ,460,660,076,070,088 and a 084 and a husq 298 for milling soon to add a jonsered 2094 to the gang seen 090 working the saw I most enjoy milling with is the 660 with a 30inch bar its got enough power it don't bog and rips at a good speed I will write a report on saws iv used but first we will see is this takes off

Some welly I milled the over day Not great but nice colour for some reason It split stared or shake

The TP was a demo machine best machine iv used rate them to anyone Jo-beau is mine and iv got a tw150

Another pic I found on the iPhone

Don't put to much metal in it this is mine took me a weekend to do 4 days in total with the paint All it's made from Is 25x25x2mm angle and 12mm ply

Porting bug has bit hard the 357 ported is one hell of a saw

If ur bringing tea bags dean I best bring Kelly with me :lol:

I'm in mate quite want to have a look at a hb20 I will bring the GOPRO

See much better way of putting it I understand spud i always enjoy reading your indepth post :thumbup1:

U can still buy most spares from any stihl dealer

Yes it's a 076av the 076 are all the same It will run a 48inch bar on a mill easy But the best set up is 36 or 42 inch bar Good saw bomb prof

I do call spud the dark lord :lol:

No mate but if u kick the fence it works lol Just of topic can u look at the gov setting on ur 070 please Cheers

Might be able to come on 22nd if u want a bit of input mate

U can't really do much with the squish until U start playing around with pop up positions Most saws are set to the right squish from new Spud will explain it alot better when he is. On line

I uses my 48 inch mill With 660 on a 25and 30 inch bar For bigger stuff 36,42and 48 inch bar on a 076 And like Alec said on a 25inch bar the 48inch mill ent a pain u just have to make shore u have 4ft of milling space

A 30inch bar maybe mate on 3ft wood spud will that do and we will vid my 660 to see the difference

Look at u show off Now I ent telling u when deans coming to do a demo for ed :001_tt2: Friday the 10am 7th feb mate :lol:
