Hi guys, anyone know anything about the e30? I'm thinking to mill indoors with one. Any feedback appreciated.
-
Then read. Chainsaw lumber making by will maloff. If you're going to be ripping regularly get a decent grinder. It's all about the chain regularity, depth gauges are especially important. Good luck
-
I mill. Ditch the duromatic bar. Get a rollomatic es. Might get away with low profile chain on a 20" bar? Duromatics heat up quite quickly when milling, burns the oil off. Loses power going over the bar tip.
-
Brilliant bit of kit. Great video. Thanks
-
Once cut rub some pure tung oil in. Should help.
-
Just read this thread and thought, give it a go... But £20 for a 25" 404 chain including postage is too expensive. Rather spend the extra £4 buying quality.
-
You can buy a copy on eBay for about £60 or make your own from threaded bar and plywood for £20. I've tried both. Yes if it slips you start cutting steel and mess up your chain. I recommend get a copy, then when the bug kicks in upgrade.

Got oak that size and bigger, green or kilned. Private message me if you are still looking.

<p>Thanks Rob, I'll be in contact in a few months.</p>
<p>Do you keep the 74" and 98" in stock, or how long to order?</p>

Bought a husky, two weeks later read about them on here. It's dribbling like a baby after a few months. Out of both spouts

Yeah mate. Good stuff. Worth gettin up at 6am for
-
Chainsaw lumber making by Will Malloff. You can find it on the net for free. Should keep you busy
-
Oxidisation of exposed ferrous material probably. The speed depends on moisture content and tannins. Probably
-
I recommend la borgne. Stays sharp, heavy,short,wide blade.
-
Get an 8 tooth rim sprocket, makes cutting quicker
-
I used my ms440 for milling sweet chestnut 12-20" it cuts well With a 25" bar and 3/8 ripping chain. I also tried an 051,056,075 They all work, but for how long? My 440 is back as a cross cutting saw and I've bought an 880 for milling. The old saws work fine until they break down. Then you really pay. Get a 660 and an Alaskan mill you won't look back
-
Stihl ms440 is great 70cc saw. It does most things, I've even milled a few planks. Great with an 18" bar and an 8 tooth sprocket.
-
Nice work mate.
-
Everyone should watch this and take note

Sadly it's sound advice. -
Retail or wholesale? Big difference. And it's green.
