Chainsaw Mill Build - Start to Finish
Needed a small portable sawmill for a job and made one quickly from scratch. It works great! The first sawmill I built was a chainsaw mill but it was stationary. Now I deeded a portable sawmill that I could use on-site and I just built this simple chainsaw mill. More serious work will be left for my stationary swingblade sawmill.
If you want to build your own portable chain sawmill check out youshouldbuildit.blogspot.com, I'll upload the blueprints there this week.

Sawmill Mods - Gearing & Test Sawmilling - My Homemade Swingblade

Modifying the gearing on my homemade swingblade sawmill according to the recommendation of the blade manufacturer - replacing a bigger V-belt pulley on the motor with a smaller OD one to reduce blade speed and get more cutting power as well. I have a half-a-dozen mods/improvements I want to still implement on this sawmill to make it fully suit my needs but I also have a silly little minibike to...

The log bucking process could be changed from manual chainsaw work to a log table with bucking feature so the bucked wood would fall...

    20:50 Is it true for all Stihl saws that the top edge is oiled better?

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY День тому

      The oil is inserted into the saw bar from the top. If you remove the cover and saw bar you can see the bar oil opening on the top edge. However, others have said that the bar sprocket will be overloaded and might fail when cutting with the top edge. I'll continue cutting and see wether I can wreck the sprocket or not.😬😀

    My son bought that same model saw a year ago. I had to go through the carburetor calibration process to get proper top RPM and power from it. You may or many not know that the carb is 100% electronic. The process is in the owners manual. My son is running a 20" bar on his with no issues, but he's also cross cutting and not ripping.

    ❤ Simple is often best but it is not recommended to overload the nose wheel on a Stihl chainsaw that has no lubrication in the nose wheel @ the saw-bar One tips that not many are aware off is that using a skip or super skip ripping chain on low effect chainsaws makes ripping smooth and much easier 👍
