Fix It with a Peterson Sawmill t o o l s & t e c h Got Big? n i q u e s Fix It With a Peterson Sawmill By PAUL Easley I believe the very best thing about the American Tree Farm System is the sharing of knowledge. Every time Tree Farmers get together, you better believe lots of knowledge and enthusiastic ideas get shared. In fact, it’s hard to get some of them to shut up! Okay, I admit it, I fit those shoes! The same thing happens when you get around sawmill operators. In fact, I believe about everyone in the wood industry is willing to help one another.

  • The Logosol M7 Chain Saw Mill the Chain Saw Is an Essential Tool for Every Logger Or Sawyer
    SAWMILL REVIEW The Logosol M7 Chain Saw Mill The chain saw is an essential tool for every logger or sawyer. While many people are quick to dismiss the idea of milling with a chain saw as too slow, too inaccurate, and taking too much kerf, many sawyers find unexpected uses for specialized cutting. For some, chain saw mills are a low-cost alternative to a band mill where high volume is not an issue. For others, they are a valuable addition to a band or circle sawmill, providing a way to cut odd sizes or shapes of logs that would normally be trimmed off or left in the woods. By David Boyt he Logosol M7 is some- pendently in 1/8 inch increments. Above: The M7 sawmill does an excel- thing of a hybrid mill.

A chainsaw is mounted to the chainsaw frame that comprises of two C-shaped runners and an adjustable support bar. The runners slot onto the two guide rails of the chainsaw mill, allowing the chainsaw to glide freely along the horizontal plane, with no movement in the vertical plane, to give the smoothest and most accurate cut possible. The chainsaw mill can be used in a variety of ways outlined below: • Milling slabs of wood from a large log. • Milling multiple boards by clamping a number of slabs together, turning them onto the side and milling off the bark on both sides. • Creating fence posts in a quick and efficient way by drilling bolts into both ends of the log resting the bolts into the V shaped slots. This allows the log to be milled, unsecured, rotated 90° re secured and the milled again for all four sides. • Clamping a log in the vertical position to mill log coins.

  • Panther Chainsaw Mill
    Syzygy Woodworks by Keith Larrett http://www.syzygywoodworks.com/news Panther Chainsaw Mill I have been wanting to get some form of portable mill for a long time now. Portable mills can be divided into two categories, bandsaw mills and chainsaw mills. After much research, I finally settled on a chainsaw mill. My reasons for this were as follows: Cost. An entry-level chainsaw mill costs a couple hundred dollars (not including the chainsaw), while an entry-level bandsaw mill costs a couple thousand. Portability. The chainsaw mill is obviously considerably smaller than a bandsaw mill and so has the edge on portability. Width of cut. Achieving a wider cut with a chainsaw mill is simply a matter of putting on a longer bar, assuming you have the power head to run it. A wider cut with a bandsaw mill starts to mean a much bigger and more expensive mill. Waste. While the waste due to the kerf of a chainsaw is considerably more than that of a bandsaw, this was not really a major factor for me. I don't plan on milling a huge amount of wood and I am milling the wood for my personal use, not for resale. Also the vast majority of the wood I will be milling will be reclaimed wood and won't cost me anything so a little bit wasted due to the thicker kerf is not a big deal. Ease of use. The bandsaw mill requires a whole lot less effort to use. Again, due to the limited amount of milling I will be doing, breaking a sweat with the chainsaw mill occasionally is not going to be a big deal.
