I got it from commercail cutters; it looks like a normal narrow kerf oregon chain 95V/R except for angels: cutting angle = 5 top plate = 0 I run it on narrow...
Has anyone tried using a square filed chisel chain for ripping? I've seen where it has advantages over round filed. I've just been brainstorming a bit lately...
Hi Prokop, Does this chain have a full complement of teeth? Or does it seem to skip a few in a regular pattern? And is the top of each tooth flat, a little...
Thats the only chain I use. I use the stihl full skip full chisel chain ground at 10 degrees and it works fantastic. That's the best combo I have found to...
Hey, Prokop -- Other inquiring minds KNOW that if you PIVOT the saw out of the log at the end (instead of just running it straight out), you will dramatically ...
- it is full chain, same number of teeth as cross cutting chain - 95V - the top is littel round - I think semi chisel it is called, basically the chain is the...
Dennis, I am pretty sure you are right - and thanks for the great and long answer. Also to start cutting in the middle to avoid multiplying the necessary...
Once again, Dennis has proved his knowledge to be of great value. I also use the wedges on two sides roughly 65-75% of the way through the cut. I also put one...
Hey Dan, I just happened to try using a square filed chisel chain for ripping just last weekend. I too was wondering about this chain not for the square...
Hi guys. Newbie here. Been lurking for some time and enjoy learning from all the varied experiences and insight here. I'm in Northern CA milling mostly...
The planer-molder will, I believe, mill all 4 sides at the same time. The shaper will cut either the tongues or the grooves in one pass. Thus, with a shaper,...
I have a 14-inch Taiwanese bandsaw which came with a 1 hp motor that was insufficiently powerful to resaw 6-inch boards, so I decided to replace the motor with...
I think the end result of your calculations is correct, but it's much easier to do it this way. MotorPulley Diameter / Driven Pulley Diameter * Motor RPM =...
If it was me, i'd slow it back down and try again. I think you are trying to make a cheaper saw work like an expensive one, and in the end you will wish you...
Building a timber frame near Chatanooga Tn. Wondered if anyone here knows of a sawyer in this general area that might be able to supply some timbers with...
Rubber contact cement your tires/rubber in place -- they won't be thrown. I have a 19" bandsaw I do this on and it works well(cause it throws the rubbers). To...
Hey folks, I'm new to the group and interested in the discussions on equipement,etc and slowly going thru the archives for that so I don't ask ?'s that you've...
How you mill it depends on what you want to do with it, i.e. if you want to do turnings, you might want to just cut it into blocks with your chainsaw. If it...
There are probably very few commercial sawyers that know how to saw a burl for the best figure. This is partly because there may be no best way ( a burl has no...
Hey Michael D., That was a good report. You were helpful to more of us chainsaw millers than you may know. For me one more question remains: was this Douglas...
Rich; I've seen a huge dining room table and a smaller coffee table made from one piece from the root of a kouri tree from India. The twisted knarly grain...
I'd like to report that everybody's suggestions have been put into practice. I put a real-nice 9" Browning cast-iron pulley on my 14" imported bandsaw, which...
Dan, Thank you for the kind words. I too have learned most everything I know about chainsaw milling from this forum. The rest is from the school of hard...
The bandsaw was a cheap 14" imported (from Taiwan) unit sold under the "Reliant" name. Most of the 14"inch bandsaws are made in Taiwan, but get different...
