For slabbing, I've found it helpful to mill at least half-way down the log before turning it. That way, the clamps have a more bite, due to the curvature of the log. It also means less log to flip when turning it. I love cedar, but it is hard to come by anything worth putting on the mill.

Hey William. I got one of these a couple years ago without really knowing anything about it. Could never find a carrier for it, though. Am I wrong in thinking that theoretically you could sharpen your saws entirely with just cranking the wheel manually? I say this because I don't have a retoother and the friction wheel is rotted. Instead of getting a retoother and another friction wheel, i could just set the saw and use it as a convoluted, overly-expensive, saw filing guide?

@@travischron3175 you can buy parts for them. I bought a new drive roller for mine. I can't remember the company that makes the parts, but you can Google it and find them.

You are so far out of line it is terrible. You need to really mind your own damned bussiness. Get over yourself.
Your detailed video helped me a lot on how to lift up the pulley & to get the belt installed. Not like the one I saw from Sears.
I tilt my logs eat more than you are. Mostly milling small cedar logs. My stand is probably close to 30 degrees. After getting the cut started could tie throttle and walk away the saw walks right threw the log as long as chain good and sharp
Thanks for recording your process. I'm right there with you. A Sharp chain really is critical but i think the granberg winch is worth it. Even if you only use it to make 10 big cuts a year, you're body will appreciate the added time it takes to set it up. Just offering my results from my own research (aches and pains). Your thoughts?
@harrislandscapingpa obviously can't hurt. I've been milling for years without one, but it makes me "dumb."
What are you using to flatten material? I saw your video this year doing it by hand, but I'm thinking a router sled is in the future for you.
@@harrislandscapingpa I use router sleds as well.... Big ass router sleds... However, I can do it as fast by hand. It's the process, not the tools.
Good video, enjoy your perspective on all the filing ways and what to look for. What depth do u use for those Rakers/depth guages....?? Does it matter if you have a Long bar or short bar for the Depth?
@Erik-6262 the hardwood setting on the progressive gauge sets the depth at .025. The softwood setting is around .035. Of course "the bar size matters." You can go deeper on the depth gauges the smaller your bar gets. On a big long bar, I like them at .025 for full comp chain. Of I was running skip chain, I'd set them deeper.
@@Erik-6262 Thank you for the kind words. Reach out any time with questions.
All I have is a chainsaw mill. Everything I sell just goes into a envelope to cover a bandsaw. I milled 300 bf yesterday. Definitely need a bigger saw for the chainsaw mill. My little 400 echo is good for most things I do but need more power for the mill
I have the same shoulder pain when I push to long so i feel your pain
@dc102dc102 sure makes me sharpen a lot more frequently than I use to. I'm more about the "experience" than the "process" now😁.
good stuff
@dc102dc102 hope you took something out of it. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment, I’m just a viewer. I feel the same way about the comments, I pray for their safety. God Bless!!!!
Audio sucks. It's way too low. I only watch for the girls. I've got a thing for red heads, but Jade is prettier. The Woodmizer is very efficient, but you don't have to learn that much to operate it. I've got a Woodland Mills. I had to learn to use scales and don't even mention turning a 16' by 20" log without hydraulics.
@@flintlockhomestead460 Are you comparing your Woodland mills to their LT70? And, are you actually saying that you watch the channel because the minor girl is prettier?

@PaganiniPagani amen... In my professional opinion, the best and most versatile, all-around saw ever made. Obviously debatable, but that is my opinion.
@@williamprophett9148 im owning two 254xp my man.
@@PaganiniPagani awesome brother. Stay frosty.
Hey William. I got one of these a couple years ago without really knowing anything about it. Could never find a carrier for it, though. Am I wrong in thinking that theoretically you could sharpen your saws entirely with just cranking the wheel manually? I say this because I don't have a retoother and the friction wheel is rotted. Instead of getting a retoother and another friction wheel, i could just set the saw and use it as a convoluted, overly-expensive, saw filing guide?
@@travischron3175 you can buy parts for them. I bought a new drive roller for mine. I can't remember the company that makes the parts, but you can Google it and find them. And, yes, you can run the saw through with the hand crank. It's actually a little safer for saws without a good, even tooth pattern.
I ran a bobcat brand wood chipper with my tree company for a few years. It is a glorified pencil sharpener. I would pass on any hydraulic wood chipper based on my past experience. I would almost look for a rental company and rent a wood chipper once a month or something like that. Even if you hire a tree company to come over and chip. The maintenance and cost of a good chipper would be hard to justify owning one.
He William, I am never milling logs. but Ilike your videos about sharpening. Two questions is your name William or Bill? second question because I am dutch I did not get the brand of the file you use. greetings Harry
@harryvos7940 Hey Harry! Good to hear from you, my friend. So, my given name is "William". My nickname is Billy. My friends (like you) call me a multitude of different things, but "Billy" is most common. The filed I use are Vallorbe from Switzerland.
Thanks for the tour, that Honda 26 with the gas tank looks appealing! Awesome!
We are so grateful you could make it - cheers to many more!
It was great meeting you, Billy! Anxious to see your slab work this week.
@RedToolHouse You too, Troy. Got started on it yesterday, and hopefully, I can finish it off today in between the rain.
How cool to see all the machines... and the prices, lol. Have fun my friend :)
@ShesInHerElement it was a really fun time! Nothing like the smell of fresh sawn Pine for 4 days!
@@williamprophett9148 I love the smell of cut wood 🥰
Perfect timing. I just bought a 60” Alaskan Mark IV chainsaw mill. Thanks for the video.
@DavesSawmillService-ym3yl Thanks, Dave! Hopefully, I can finish it off today in between the rain. I'll get a little more in-depth on chains and a few other things. I have done some thorough videos on it years ago, but they are pretty far back in the timeline. Once upon a time, milling was ALL of my videos.
