    Beech is a hard wood and ur saw as noted a tad under powered. Does not mean to say it wont cut it but steady eddie wud b the key. Milling work is all flat out on the saw and u may find ur chinky cheapy unreliable under such stress. Click the link above on the forum for milling kit. As a one off tho a standard stihl rippin chain may be ur chespest option if this is a one off eveng. Granberg chain is the most used and priced accordingly.

    Havent really shown my talent on here as far as my woodworking skills go, So have shared a few. The bathroom towel and dressing gown is spalted holly with glued ash dowels and finished this morning the yew and oak shelf. The picture is of a cherty tree in our garden, untill it blew over in the winter! The burr oak coat rack was completed today as well. The big burr chopping board was planed and sanded down friday, with the small cheese board completed today from the off cut of the coat rack. The flamed cherry was made sometime ago and is approx 10mm thick and is lovely!! Approx 14x12" The other coat rack again is spalted holly with deer antler tines screwed and resin bonded in place.

    Only in an emergency have i used new engine oil, perhaps it wasnt on board and too far from yd or dealer. Even then its only for a day at most, so what 5 6 tankfulls. But certainly not as an everyday occurence.

    Whilst usin the saw a few weeks back when i pulled the bar from a big log it would raise the revs slightly on every tug. It continued to run ok thankfully as the oak was 5ft in the rd! I put it away and dug out 4 another job. The chain kept runnin on with slightly elevated revs. Again revs picked up whilst pullin the saw from the cut. We put new clutch springs in firstly as we thought thar was the prob. However when cold its fine but after a few minutes not workin and gets warm it revs up on its own. So an airleak i think. The crank seals and all gaskets where done on the rebuild except crank case gasket as thats a major job. B4 we get the gas torch out any thoughts?
