Hi I have an 880 for milling and apart from flooding it one day it has always started never let me down and I also think the tick over noise is ace, good saw plenty of power sails through most buts but I am a confirmed sthil man I havre a small husky and nothing but trouble scince I got it at a show this weekend and the chainbrake just snaped. So go for the 880 I rekon, happy milling Cheers Mbark

Hi Chainsaw milling isnt hard to learn how to do and a small log mill will not cost you loads Rob D on hear is your man for those ,you can go down to an inch or two and then resaw if you need smaller and it is good fun milling but be warned its addictive , post some pics of your builds when you get going on them good luck Mark

gobbypunk replied to Rob D's topic in Panther Mill UK
Hi Mike no I cut the ends to length then measured and cut out the slots one by one then with the back slotted in I carefully shaped the ends with my carving saw , the sanding took the longest if you get the slots nice and tight there should be no need for screws or pegs of any kind . Thanks for all your kind comments and do post some pics of yours if you do one cheers Mark -
Hi it all depends on how much money you want to spend you could get youself an alaskan mill I expect you already have a big saw so not a big outlay if you are anywhere near dorset you are more than welcome to come and have a go on mine to see how you like it , Rob D on hearis your man for alaskan mills and rippingchains , give chainsaw milling a go and if then you want to step up to a mobile band mill maybee look out for a good used one , but be warned milling is addictive , P M me if you want to come and have a go Cheers Mark
