also, crescent wrench handle is exactly the same thickness at the kerf of the chain, so if you dont have wedges use a crescent wrench
also, would it be possible to sell boards? I know ive asked before, but im gonna ask again, ive got walnut and oak (I think red and white oak), aroune 10"-48" on my property, im looking at prices and for live edge hardwoods its crazy, and I wouldnt have to sell very many per year, but I dont know how good sales would be in my area (East TN)
Depends on the supply in your area. Mine is saturated with planks/boards everywhere. I don’t thing I could sell chit.
thought so, I dont see any around here, my neighbor owns a furniture store, maybe I could start making furniture, would have to touch up on my woodworking skills tho
one tip I have for yall, this applies to an MS391, I dont know about other saws, but the exhaust exit is on the right side of the saw, when milling its towards the ground, elevate the log and let it vent, I have learned, on my only 2 cuts, exhaust in the eyes/throat HURTS, dont do like Not_chip.
we took mine down with us, but never used it lol, needed the gas in the saw, once I go and get gas again I will use it
got lots of milling done the last few days, making lumber for a chicken coop, coop is id say 1/3-half done, had a few hickups (operator error, pinch bolts clamping mill to the bar came loose and slid into the chain) tore the bar tip guard clean off, fixed with a few minutes in the shop, we now engage brain, and check those bolts every few cuts, so far so good.
Finally got pics, we took this tree down yesterday, 120-130ft poplar, iirc 36 inches or so at the base. you can tell im tired lol, Dad had me on the polesaw limbing it up, didnt look like to many limbs till it was on the ground, then it looked big, didnt expect that big of a thud
update: turns out the MS391 is a terrible idea for milling hardly any time milling (a few hours max) and it blew up night before last, time for me to go rebuild it I guess
Up here, slagging Canada Post is a national pastime as trashing the USPS is south of the border, I'm sure. But to be honest, I am quite impressed at 90% of the delivery speeds. I even got a package from BC to Ontario in 36 hours, regular post.
I mill w/ 40:1. Have tore down the saw multiple times to inspect and it’s been fine. One of the key things, imo, is a very mill friendly/ conservative tune. Make sure it’s 4 stroking real good when completely hot, but not so much it doesn’t clean up in the cut, or in other words, it doesn’t still 4 stroke while you are cutting.
