661s dont do well milling , i tried it wednesday..its a no go in my book.

Buy a 395 for that duty.

What size mill you try it with Ryan?

36

Figured it would do ok at that size.

I dont know how to describe how the mtron worked on that mill , i just didnt like it

Mtronic sucks to mill with , It didnt seem to richen up enough...the 661 has the balls , its just not the tool id use for the job.

Thats only my opinion.

Its not that it didnt have the power the saw just ran kinda weird..most of the logs we milled were walnut , the top cover over the cylinder sucks on a 661 , it feels like a cheap piece of sh!t , i popped it off while the saw was still warm to look at the plug and gettin it back on was a serious pain in the ***..kinda like it warped , i dig the 661s for buckin big boys but id take a 395 over it anyday to mill..but i dont mill often so i really dont care.
