Technically yes, but a ripping chain is nothing more than a different angle on the tooth, you can file any chain to 10° and mill wood , it's almost a square tooth , they charge more for ripping chains which is a waste in my opinion
When mixing lower the music volume so we can hear you, after the music stopped for a moment could hear you clearly. But it looks like it actually does what they say, I've been thinking of buying the jig.
Sorry was still learning about editing .. I'm trying to keep that to a minimum now .... the jig is definitely the way to go if your going to be milling and want square edge boards ready for a project... it's good quality and does what it's supposed to...
I think your system looks like a good idea. However I had to mute your video while you were explaining your jig. The music is just too loud and I couldn't hardly hear what you were saying. I would give you a thumbs up for your jig and a thumbs down for the volume of the music.
@@farmlifeoffgrid I had a bunch of walnut custom milled on my land. . . The portable mill operator took a portion as payment. Dont know your situation but it worked out well for us. . . It was fast and we rented a Bobcat with forks to load the mill and down-stack the lumber.
If someone would be interested in only a dozen big white pines I would definitely go that route but most I've talked to want more to come out , I can get rough cut lumber for pretty cheap so the big beams and such I can definitely mill out of the dozen trees , everything else is a 1/4 mile through the woods. It's about 500 per floor for framing lumber on a 16x30 if I mill the joists. We want to go three levels with a livable attic and full walk out basement.
@@farmlifeoffgrid Oh. . . I see. The walnut I had made it worth it to the guy that did my milling. . . We ended up with 7,000 bd/ft. . . Some slabs were 14'x4"×32". Beautiful, purple hearts.
I think if your milling really big logs then a 660 or 661 would make each cut much faster, otherwise for the most part I'm cutting 16 inch logs and smaller and the 391 does pretty good and alot cheaper
I use Carlton ripping chain. But any ripping chain will cut much smother than your typical cross cut... the main difference is the angle... ripping you want 10 degrees and cutting firewood ect is your 30 degree angle... so if your running on a tight budget you can always file a regular chain to 10 degrees
@@farmlifeoffgrid i cant find a ripping chain for my saw and i use cross cut and it is very poor. Thats why i asked about the chain. And you have more powerfull saw. Anyway didnt you have problems that saw was falling down from the side of the saw and the plank was thicker closed to saw and thinner from the other side?
@@natned1 on really wide cuts I had maybe a quarter inch difference but on rough cut it's not to bad, I'm having way better luck with the Logosol f2 as far consistency but any thing 16 inches or smaller the timber jig is perfect... not much drop on a 20 inch bar and there's an adjustment screw to fix that if you have that issue
Thanks for commenting, we decided to upgrade but stick with logosol and got the f2 ... after a while of cutting with the timberjig it does become labor intensive... I'll probably limit its use to logs I couldn't possible move and quarter saw them or something. The f2 takes out all the hard labor and extra steps. The timberjig is great for the price point no doubt tho
Your definitely right, after milling with this one for a while tho, I definitely prefer the logosol over an Alaskan.. Much easier to set up, can square cants easier, no extra guide rails to be purchased, and it's much less bulky and easier to handle. Chainsaw milling in general is pretty difficult on my back so I've finally convinced Oksana into getting the woodland mills bushlander hm122. We have to many projects to do with these crazy lumber prices. Thx for commenting!
