    Finding Long Bars

    I've spent lots of time looking for long chainsaw bars to fit my 070 and haven't found many options. Seems that most manufacturers stop at 42" or so. I'd like to find a 36-38" bar, a 48-58" bar, and a 72"+ bar I'm aware that the 070 and 090 need either a special bar or custom drilled holes for...

    powerhead advice for Alaskan MKIV mill

    Looking at getting a MKIV mill for small milling projects using mostly green white spruce under 30" in diameter and maybe some green paper birch under 24" diameter. Biggest saw I own is a Stihl 271 which is only 50cc and probably not cut out for the job. Looking for some advice on what Stihls...

    Replacement powerhead for CSM: 090 or 084?

    I'm currently running a 48" Alaskan mill with a Stihl 075, and a 42" bar pulling .404 chain. The 075 has been problematic ever since I've run it; the excessive vibration causes the saw to lose bolts, despite my best attempts to apply locktite and keep everything cinched down. The saw has...

    Been a while gentlemen! Quick overview: Bought my first house. Everett washington, about 20 miles north of Seattle. On craigslist in this area you can buy douglas fir logs fresh from the mountains by the truck load. It's not cheap, but not nearly as much as a lumber package from a saw mill...

    Granberg EZ rail leveler issue

    I've been using my Alaskan Mk3 mill since the early 80s. For the primary cut(s) I have used homemade rails from plywood or 2X12s with stiffeners or aluminum ladders. These have been Okay, despite their limitations. Recently I decided to splurge for the Granberg EZ Rail. I assembled it and hit a...
