That would be nice until you got the bill for shipping and you would hate it.
My delivery took 10 days. I should have been clear it was the length that would be a problem. Granberg makes the stuff states side.They shipped the mill pretty cheaply. And the shipping on the saws isn't too bad. The EZ rail system might be long, but the aluminum is pretty light. Besides, pretty sure 'Ol Granberg is having his rails and such made in China and shipped over here. I think it's just a matter of time before Huztl teams up with a US distributor who can accept large shipments and send out domestically for cheap. I've seen that happen in many other areas with other products, so it isn't far fetched. And then we won't have to wait 4-6 weeks for delivery either.
Fair enough, but it does look like you were half way down a cut?It was a quick video of someone who just got their hands on it.
Japan uses 2 piece glass cubes two grow square melons. The smalness of living spaces also mini's fridges. Too much wasted space w/round mellons? How expensive to make 12' 2 piece squares to grow 9" square posts ? ??I'm working on growing square ones that don't even need to be milled. Just cut to length and frame the barn.
I'm guessing that log wasn't very flat. Looks like the bar came right through the top at one point. I agree on the rocking, and a 660 should chew that log up with ease.
I didn't pick that up but when I went back and had a look I also spotted a couple of other things
The mill rails are not sitting flat on top of the log.
In the video the gap opens and closes with the rocking of the saw.
The bar also looks like it's not parallel to the mill rails.
This means the bar clamp pads are not sitting flat/square on the bar and may then slip.
It is possible to run the mill with and angled bar (e.g. making splayed weather boards) but it's better for the mill and bar if the bar clamp pads havethe appropriate angles cut/ground into them
I realise this is a demo but for all the newbies out there, this kind of operation will significantly stress the mill, bar and chain.
