Tuning 395xp for milling

[boatman]

I have finished most of the cross cut work for a while and have 6 20" Red Oak logs to mill and a few smaller ones for beams.

Right now I have the saw set at 12,500rpm WOT. What's a good rpm range for milling?

I will be using both the small log mill with a 20" bar and a C2 with the 50 inch bar and @32 inch cut.

Green wood.

Just tending burn piles and staring at the logs right now. Trailer beds, timber frame goat barn, horse lean too.

I probally take 500 rpms off, but not sure because I tune by ear. Should be 4 stroking pretty good.

No experience with Huskies, but I tune my 066 to 12,500.

I've been using it at 12,500. The fuel is 40-1 just because the 041 calls for 40-1 and the C51 16-1.

No problems with the 395xp and milling with the 50" bar, cutting @28" Cherry. I will put the 20" bar on it tomorrow and see how it does.

I have a bunch of Red Oak and I need beams and an trailer floor.

Maybe I'll run 32-1. The mosquitos are pretty bad out here.
