I also have 114 d.l. on my 36" Stihl bar but am running an 8 tooth sprocket (it's also an older bar, late 80's, early 90's). I wonder if running a 7 tooth vs....
I am not a wood worker. I just want to learn how to cut certain woods for those who are wood workers. I have access to different trees and want to mill them...
Jeff, You are correct on the 7 tooth and 8 tooth drive link difference. As far as I know, Stihl does recommend the 8 tooth sprock for any saw larger than an ...
Can you grind the raker's on Nick the grinder. I've not had any problems with the stones, but I'm unsure of how to keep them dressed the way they should be....
I use Nick only for grinding rakers now. I have had no trouble with rakers that are flat on top. For sharpening chain I now use the Maxx Pro grinder. It is...

Hey Steve.....I've milled a large locust myself and I had 2 problems. 1. I used an Alaskan and it really wore me out. I was running a Husky 394XP w/ 36" bar....
That Maxx Pro grinder on Ebay looks soo sweet! As soon as my Nick breaks I'm going to spring for one! Wish I knew about them before! - Paul ... selling them....
Locust can have some very beautiful figure. It's a light wood overall and I think a member of the Legume family...if not, at least you'll find it growing...
Anybody want to take a stab at looking at a high-res (5MP) photo I just took of known/verified Honey Locust vs this stuff I thought is Acacia? The image is...
Mike, don't beat yourself up too bad. The only species of Acacia that grow in America are in the southwest, and mostly too small to get much lumber out of. The...
I use a free program called image optimizer to resize photos and photo file size. It is very simple and easy to work with. If you go to www.xat.com you will...
I currently have a norwood sawmill and want to go to a bigger mill with hydraulic features on them. Does anyone know of sources that I can find to add...
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I was very interested in it because of the Biblical reference. I did remember that Acacia and Mesquite were in the same family,...

I started thinking that milling tree trunks vertically (while still attached to the ground) has some advantages over felling the trunk and then milling it...
Hi Paul, If ever a vertical milling plan were to be seriously considered, you'd have to decide whether your ripping cuts were to be parallel to the tree's ...
Paul, first of all, if you plan on milling an 8 or 10 foot slab, how would you get the mill up that high? Are you thinking of standing on a ladder or building...
Does anyone have the actual code number that accesses the $130 price. When I checked, it was back to $149. But if you have the code, it will come up with the...
I don't have the code, but good luck on getting the mill through them. I ordered it 3 weeks ago & it's on backorder. They couldn't say how long..... I'll...
I come up with $149. I have it marked in my "wish list" though, and I'm beginning to think that that makes a difference. -- Goat (Generalist of all Trades)!...
Biggest issue I can think of is, sometimes you want what is slightly below the ground's surface. That is, for example, where you'll find some of the most...
