I never once milled with a 46/460 sized saw. Milling with a 66 seemed slow as f-ck. IMO you will burn up a 46 milling with the bar lengths you mention on it. Or you might shoot yourself first out of desperation/boredom.
I guess you could fatten it up a bit but I was like Stig. If a saw is setup it runs proper and that's that. You should be able to hear and feel that it's running right and checking the plug periodically should confirm that.
Interesting your experience nutball. I did a fair little chunk of milling with both a modded 66 and a 880. But I always ran them WOT. I found that to be fastest to me.
Cool milling shots.
That redwood looks like amazing lumber!
Peter you seem to be staying pretty busy with that chainsaw mill you made. Are you finding there's quite a decent market for it?
Peter there used to be a high output oiler available for the 460 I believe it was 'stock' on the west coast 3/4 wrap saws but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone will chime in to confirm or give you part numbers if ones available for the 461.
Super cool fabricating as always. You've got the...
I've used a strap around the boom of my mini with no attachments on to lift the small end of big logs onto the very edge of the trailer. I would then carve a impression in the other end to 'match' the attachment plate and then you can lift/push the rest of a log onto a trailer pretty easy.
I recall hearing that the size and tuning wasn't an issue when running dual power heads on an Alaskan mill. That it's all just power going towards the milling.
