Chainsaw Milling Lumber

Chainsaw milling lumber. This video shows how a chainsaw is used in making lumber from logs. This is how to make 2X6 lumber from logs very quickly. It's a great way to get cheap lumber, or to make your own boards from local trees. The "secret" is how the mill is set-up. Using this method will minimize the number of adjustments needed on the mill attachment. In this video, the mill is set at 5 1/2 inches for all of the set-up cuts. It is then set to 1 1/2 inches, and finally 3/4 inch for the final cuts. The guide used on the log is 3 1/2 inches thick.




Total time to mill this log in lumber was only 30 minutes. Also see Milling Crooked Logs - great method for dealing with logs that are not straight.
