After watching a ton of footage for this project, and after having spent a fair amount of time both thinking about this thing and playing around with it, I've reached a few conclusions. First of all, don't buy one of these; make one. The design shown in this video is solid. A steel one will perform no better, and it'll just be heavier. The limits in its performance come down to user error and/or application, not from any shortcomings in the gizmo itself.
Getting it straight: my earlier cuts would tend to allow the weight of the saw to slightly plunge the nose of the bar sideways, which resulted in a beam that was a little wider at the top. You can see this in the footage by looking at the uneven gap between the jig's 2x4 and the guide rail. Noted-and no big deal-but let's think about some ways to improve. One way is to just use feel: consistency follows from practice. Another way would be to introduce a counterweight, and I did consider that, but after toting it around for a day I've ruled the idea out. Right now, the best idea I have to offer is to add a slot/key feature. Imagine a removable pin, probably made of high-density plastic, that would insert through the jig and into a groove (dado) that had been cut on the outside face of the guide rail. This pin would act as a training wheel; it would ride along and prevent those occasional pauses and slips that cause gouges, and it would train the user to compensate against the weight of the saw.
Note about paste wax:
There have been tons of comments suggesting to lower friction against the guide board by using a lubricant. Although I didn't mention it in the video, I did use white bar soap before cutting. However, this is really not necessary; like, really, really, not necessary. The speed of the jig in use is almost 0, and the chainsaw's vibration keeps it from ever becoming close to stuck. Far more important is to ensure that both the board and the jig have been properly sized and sanded.

Not sure if it's synchronicity, but Advoko Makes has an almost identical system. But automatic pulled by bunjy cord, and with a counterbalance shelf to match the chainsaw weight. It's outrageous how well it works and the perfect 0.66inch planks over two feet wide it does without the operator going near the saw when it's cutting.

I bought a commercial version of this that attaches to the bar with set screws. Problem is, the set screws loosen and the guide slips, allowing the chain to contact the metal bracket, immediately dulling the chain. Bottom line: your design is better.

(I'm more than willing to turn my volume up to watch a video like this. =) ) I've watched several videos of chainsaw mills & have not (before now) found one that's 'low commitment' enough for me to try. I live in the city and therefore have very little space, plus only own the one chainsaw. This looks awesome - ingenious & elegant design! Looks like it'll go on/off the saw easily and not take up much room in my shop when not in use. Thank you so much for posting it.

Believe it or not, Ivory Soap, the solid kind, not the liquid. Would work better. I have moved many tons of heavy equipment by sliding it across the floor on two pieces of plywood slicked down with ivory soap between them. Keep the soap dry, no water. Counter intuitive but water will cause the boards to sieze up.

@@doughoist Yes, I used Ivory soap in this first video, but I didn't mention it. After milling many more times, I've determined it to be pointless. And the paste wax idea has been mentioned here dozens of times. It's also totally unnecessary. Note that now my 2x4 guide rail has been given a coat of polyurethane, though. It's quite smooth.

I have a Boat Load of pre-cut logs out back and I wanted to "Split" them for firewood...I'm too old and too weak to do that, I used to do it when I was younger etc. Now, on the Long 2x4, I plan on putting it across two Saw Horses, to keep the 2x4 from bending, I will put 2 more 2x4's vertically beneath the top piece, counter sink the holes for the screws. This will add stiffness to the guide bar (the top 2x4). I will create a 2x4 "X" Cradle to support the logs to be split..This is a most Wonderful presentatiion, your voice and patience is much appreciated!

I thought that you could put a handle on top of the rig so that you could push down on the rig as you pull it down the 2x4. Also I thought that if you put a ballast extending off the other side of the rig and weight it to counter the weight of the chainsaw it might help in making smoother cuts.

Might help if I glued some to the guide. I think I must use your ideas as soon as I can get a rip chain Toy with possibly a longer bar.
@pocket83squared
@pocket83squared 3 роки тому
Rip chains are better suited to mills that have attachments on both sides of the log. With a single attachment (like this one), you'll need a normal chain for correcting the cut once it starts to go 'off.' Think about this: low angle chains aren't as sharp on the sides of their teeth, so they have trouble coming back once they go astray. ... A longer bar is also ill-advised; a longer bar means further projected error, so a little off becomes lots more off. If you have a really thick log, you might get better results by first making a defined cut on each side before you plunge through--that's how I did the larger of the two. Don't mean to try to shoot you down here, but I've put quite a bit of thought into this simple gizmo. Thanks and good luck.

I enjoyed it and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to do my own milling. I love the plastic washers and I might be able to help with that. Laundry detergent bottles are a lot thicker and smoother since they have to be bigger. Some cat litter containers as well, but you probably don't have cats. Plastic buckets are labeled as HDPE but they're a completely different viscosity so they wear away much faster. Or at least I assume they would. I also recommend fabric scissors for cutting plastic. Just separate them from actual use fabric scissors or seamstresses will materialize out of thin air and stab you with them. Crap, I think I told you some of this before. Anyway I had an idea while watching. I know absolutely nothing about milling so it's just a thought. Could you make a floating rail for when the log gets down to a certain size? I don't know if you do this enough to where you would have a little milling station, but it might make those subsequent cuts a lot easier.

Superb! Just what I need. Simple and effective. Thanks a million. (If two pieces of board were fixed to each end of the guide rail, it could be fixed like an outrigger, and the remaining log could be divided., and the outrigger removed to complete the ends.)

This Is the best way to make a chainsaw mill I've seen based on simplicity. Not the most elaborate no, but that's not what it's about. I subscribed simply because you skipped the bs and showed a way to get planer ready boards fast. Thanks buddy!

I have some small diameter oak, maple and birch logs. This is perfect for it! I also love the old coffee containers with the built in handles, I use them too. Can't get them anymore.
