Q. | What are the minimum sizes of chainsaw required for your Rail Mill? |
A. | I would say an absolute minimum of 90cc and 36" Bar (bigger on both counts will allow a greater range of log sizes to be cut. |
Q. | Which chain do you recommend? |
A | Skip Tooth ripping Chain, i.e. Oregon 27RA |
Q. | How do I fix the rail of the rail mil to the log? |
A | Tek screws of a suitable length, may need packing level (for your 1st cut only) |
Q. | What power is needed for a Bar over 42" long? |
A | 120cc minimum |
Q. | My Rail Mill stopped cutting straight, what's wrong.? |
A | 99% of the time this is worn or badly sharpened chain |
Q. | How do I get the first cut with a slabbing mill? |
A | Use a ladder, steel frame or plank on top of the log and cut below it |
Q. | What is the maximum bar size for a 36" Slabbing Mill? |
A | 42" a 36" slabbing mill will cut a 31" slab ( rule of thumb is, size of mill minus 5" is maximum slab width) |
