Thanks both, sound advice. The dolmar is 70cc, how do you guys know this sort of thing?! Impressive...
I'll contact the seller you recommend as discount sounds good and I need bar, chain and mill. I'll tell wife I'm investing in our future, sure she'll be delighted.
Wish I could afford an 880 but on the plus side, having never used one I don't know what I'm missing. I love my dolmar, but that says more about the chainsaw I used before I got it.

Now then. Inspired by all of this milling chat and planning to gave a go. I think I'm going to get an Alaskan and wanted to get your thoughts on the following:
Where can you buy them? Anywhere better than just googling?
I'm going to use an old dolmar123 with a stihl duramatic 25in bar, bad idea?!
With a 25in bar what size Alaskan?
Mainly a weekend warrior who wants to cut fence posts from pine/latch, but also mill interesting bits from my woodland.
Oh, and finally, lleylandii, worth milling? I have some biguns and reckon they may work like cedar, but no idea really...
What's the worst that could happen?! Don't answer that...
will it work?

Thanks all for the advice, I'll have a go at milling the leylandii and see how I get on. I heard they planted leylandii plantations in NZ and over here its just got a bad press because of the neighbour thing. Do you think it could be milled, treated, then used as shingles? Or bad idea?
