Video showing our chainsaw mill in action. This is the first in a series. We will be using the mill to rebuild a set of logging sleds for our forestry operation.
If you're speaking of the orange whip that extends behind the saw, that is a "tail" or "chainsaw measure". It is installed with two screws to the rear handle then cut to a length. We set ours in such a way that from the tip of the bar to the end of the tail is 4 feet and one inch. That way, when measuring up logs for bucking to length, we lay the saw on the tree at the butt, give the saw a shot of gas, marking the log at 4'1". Then, as we proceed up the tree, we mark lengths at 8'2", 12'3" and 16'4". The wood products we sell are either 8'4", 12'6", or 16'6". The whip gives us a quick way to approximate the lengths without using a tape measure.
seems their would be a limitation as to how many boards one can get, cause at some point, their is not enough meat left to be able to attach the guide board and operate the saw...in other words, after the first cut, best to change over to a slider and use the chainsaw horizontally. use this device to get that first cut.
Yes, because that $2000 saw cuts 60-80 cords of hardwood firewood a year as well as cutting oversized spruce and pine on our forestry operation. Thanks for watching
Sorry, but you are factually incorrect on both points. A professional knows a bar should be reversed with each new chain to prevent uneven wear. The 500i is an 80cc saw. And if you bothered to watch any of my other videos you would know I own a bandsaw mill. Good day.
