The
first step in setting up a rail chainsaw mill is mounting the rail to the
log. Inspect uncut logs carefully to find the best position for the rail
and set the track to produce the most useable timber. |
A
simple way to mount the rail is to use long self-tapping roof screws. Use
packing pieces to maintain a straight alignment to the rail along the
length of the log. |
To
mill long logs, join additional lengths of rail. Precision ‘dovetail’
joints, between rail sections, ensure a continuous alignment of rail over
the full length of the log. |
