Oh come on. I've got an 052 and that log would make that grunt ripping it. Fred usually runs the Jonsered and a Stihl,double the power and with the opposite design both saws have leave the gas and oil fills up.
'Ol Fred said the way to really cut wood was with the Jonsered on one end and a Stihl saw on the other. The gas/oil fill on the Stihl is on the other side so both saws have the fill holes up.
nice video, fellas. We are having less and less sawmills in Montana now that the environmental terrorists chanllenge every timber sale. Lots of jobs lost here.......
I didn't include the first cut. You level up a board as a guide,cut your slab piece,then set your thickness by adjusting the guide height to the blade. You can see Karl checking the depth on both sides of the board at the start of the cut.
Yes. The guide board starts you on a straight cut then the successive cuts should be straight. A note Fred found you get a much smoother cut by filing the teeth on the chain square instead of the normal 30-35 deg pitch. It works real good.
Sorry but I can barely see whats happening on this video.

That slab was trimmed and installed as a counter 6/20. As soon as I get "up on the hill" I'll post a picture of the finished product.

I am not a lumberman. I am trying to learn to help me for the future. Is it like using a straight edge?

Yes. The guide board starts you on a straight cut then the successive cuts should be straight. A note Fred found you get a much smoother cut by filing the teeth on the chain square instead of the normal 30-35 deg pitch. It works real good.
