Hi , I am sure that you can set the depth of cut on the vertical mill so , I would do my first cut remove the ladder set depth on vertical , set width one cut set width and so on across the log , then set height on alaskan and away to go , 4/5 beams , the width setting every time is a bit of a faf but hey , chainsaw milling there is quite a bit of faf , good luck post some pics Cheers Mark

Shame you are so far away or I would have jumped at that -
Hi , I have a 9 and 4 n 1/2 inch grinders with backing pads and 24 grit discs ideal if the boards are a bit rough from milling electric plane and hand but dont use the hand one much and also orbital andbelt sanders it all depends on the board to start with but mostly for me its grinders and orbitals but have been thinking about router planing but it looks like it takes ages Cheers Mark

chainsaw carving set-up on a tight budget
gobbypunk replied to stuckinthemud's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Hi , as with all tools you get what you pay for , you may be lucky and get a good buy from ebay but I think with a carving bar and chain and sprocket you would be looking at £200/250, and the saw could go wrong after 3 weeks or just over £300 is what I paid for a new echo and carving bar and I know its going to last me yrs and yrs talk to Rob D on hear he will set you up with a good deal good luck with your carving Cheers Mark -
Hi guys thanks for all your comments we all seem to be thinking along the same lines whitch is cool , I was think8ng of useing what I call bone oak , where the weather has stripped all the sap wood from oak branches and left nice hard curvy heart wood , it will be a bit of a time consuming challange but should look cool , will keep you posted , have got my girlfriend to do some sketches so now need to go see the lady that wants it and talk money , wish me luck I hate talking price Cheers Mark
