double power headed Mac 35s on a 36" bar for milling

[red54]

I've got a back burner project, even had a cable wind feed system with throttle advance. I just never put it on a guide...

Sounds insane! x2

Im shocked no ones made a electric chainsaw mill yet as most of the ones I see are close to buildings with power.
15-25hp motor with a bar mount and oil tank would out mill any saw and be quiet doing it.

So mount a bar and chain on a rotary device of some kind...?

Most things that would work electric basically kill the "CS" part of milling. If you're going to keep using chainsaw chain, something has to be able to keep everything aligned and free to rotate.

I don't see why with enough power you couldn't have a little electric bandsaw going.

Or a track saw edging and ripping boards, though that could make for a lot of turning.


I'm eagerly waiting when the technology allows for efficient and reasonably priced big cc saws and batteries.

Not sure about what you have in your house but around here it is 220volts and in my house most fuses is 10amps.
10amps goes up to about 2.2kw if it have a soft start on the motor, that is about 2.7hp, above that you need 16amp fuses.
I have two outlets included one in my garage at 16amps, that goes up to about 3.5kw, that is about 4.7hp.

Well you can get the OS23 bandsawmill with a 4kw/5.36hp 220volt electric motor here in Smallwoodville, its not listed at their US site though - perhaps in their catalog. Alternatively you can get it with a 250cc 7.5hp Briggs Stratton, or a 300cc 10hp Briggs Stratton.
