yep

I think the 42 inch bar with a 36 inch mill on the 660 should be a solid place to start along with an aux. oil set up.

:agree2: that'll do you right. happy milling.

Wildman, listen to Bob and the others here with experience on CSM. Some like traditional tool are green as grass and are only telling you their biased opinion and not looking at it from the perspective of your needs. I have owned and run both various chainsaw mills and bandmills, and will say for your needs the chainsaw millers are on the money here, their advice can save you a lot of troubles and trials.

I appreciate it Coalsmoke....

The 660 is ordered with a 24 inch bar for regular work, a 42 inch bar will be ordered with ripping chian, the 36" alaskan bars will be ordered when I get back off this run south.

I will end up with a band saw mill as well at some point, I am sure I will want to saw thinner material etc. I will keep looking the used markets over and if needed will just buy a new set up when the time is right.

Im not scared to have both:greenchainsaw:

 

[Coalsmoke]

Sounds like a good setup you have ordered.

Hey, smoke blower...talking about green as grass, wouldn't that describe your sawmill business that you just sold off?

What happened when you were blowing all types of smoke up everyone's buttocks about how you were gonna buy a hydraulic mill, now you sold off your LumberMate and got rid of your sawmill biz?

You had so much to teach everyone about the sawmill industry and making money, I don't get it...you were immune to the economy and had a great thing going up in B.C. I guess your wife told you to wake up and smell the roses, so off the sawmill went...lol

What a braggart you were, only to fall to your knees...

I'll third that :jawdrop: I have had mr tool blocked for a little while now so I don't have the pleasure of reading his posts and private messages, ever since he sent me some disturbing, shall we say, suggestions. Scott, if you'd kindly take his quote out of your post I can go back to peacefully ignoring him.

Andrew,

There's aint much to fight with there, he sold off his sawmill biz, now he's down to his chainsaw mill...

At first thought you would think he might weld up a bandmill of his own, but given that he needed to hire a millwright to put his Norwood together and set it up for him, I am not sure there's much likelihood of that.

It's really a loss for the sawmill world in general, the smoke blower had so much to teach the world about running a sawmill, and poof, gone overnight...go figure...talk is cheap...

Again? Really? You're still going at it even tho you where asked by more than one person to stop messing up this thread? Please dude, just take it somewhere else. I, for one, am tired of the personal attacks on this forum especially in a thread that has nothing to do with it.


GROW UP!!!

I agree - time to put this one to rest.

 

[Andrew96]

My fault....I'll stop chanting now. We are all trying to have fun aren't we?...let's try a bit harder then.

Fun, no problem, but lets leave the school ground name calling to the lads in the Chainsaw forum?

How's the decision making going Wildman?

 

[WV Wildman]

Still in Florida...gotta few more days till I return. The CSM is a given, just deciding on going ahead and buying a bandsaw mill
