this is factory demo......but you should use a "ripping chain" not a cross cut chain......saw size is not to critical if it is as wide as the tree it will cut.......but more power is always better

looks like you may want to wear iron boots while using this,...the blade is exposed at the bottom of the cut,.....!!!

How do you get a 20'log up on the saw horses. A 20' tree like you are cutting must weigh 200-300 pounds

[MrBrucecrichton]

Any kick-back, and he's a she!

@radioninja007 I have seen 100 cc or larger generally recommended. That means over $1000 for the saw alone

Where can i get the attachment you used in this video?

I always have trouble keeping my mini-mill on the track and the lower part of the bar from drifting from side to side. Often leaves cut somewhat wavy, but hell of a lot of fun. Any tips on keeping the bar from wavering or the mill on the track?

It can be done two ways. On a smaller log you can make a side cut and rotate the log 90 degrees, or in this case make a top cut with an Alaskan Mill.

Hi, just wondering how you get the first cut level or do you use a mill.
