This is a great tool for woodturners that like to make trips to the woods to get their project instead of the lumber yard. I have more choices their of my wood and cheaper too!!

this thing was easy to set up and worked very well. I have been cutting planks to make a kitchen table for my wife. I would recommend this.

Grandberg Chain Saw Mill
I got this mill to mill beetle kill pine. It works great and beats trying to free hand. I got a comercial grade electric chain saw as I did mill inside my shop this winter and the gas ones just won't work in an enclosed area. I peeled all the bark off the logs as with all the dirt and sand inside the bark it dulls the chain fast. I used a straight 2X10 as a guide and really works well to slide on and keep things true. Don't forget to change the angle of your chain teeth to around 10 degrees and it will cut smoother.

Sawing hardwood logs into small boards
Works fine, just used a flat board to set up for a guide for the first cut and then worked great on the second, third, etc. cuts. Would recommend a bigger saw as it takes quite a while to cut a 3 foot long board.

Super Idea, great product !!!
The parts used to make the tool are not excellent quality, bolts wore out fast, hard to adjust. But in principle, i love the idea, and is great for small hobbies and projects.

Granberg Chain Saw Mill
I bought the small Grangerg G777 Mill to make boards from black walnut, oak, cherry and maple trees on my property, instead of using them for firewood. I matched it with my Stihl 59cc Farm Boss (about 3.75 HP) and a Granberg Ripping Chain.
My first board milling was a 7 ft long, 17 inch dia black walnut trunk milled into 1 inch thick boards. The results were great. The mill was easy to use (I'm 70 yr old) albeit a bit slow going. A larger chainsaw would speed things up. I had to use a dust mask as a lot of fine sawdust was created. I also did a test cut on a sugar maple and found the cutting speed to be the same (about a foot a minute).
Being highly portable and inexpensive, this mill fits my needs perfectly. I recommend it to anyone that has an occasional need to mill boards where the trees fall.
Now to make a table from those beautiful black walnut boards after drying and running them through my surface planer.

Did everything I needed
I found this mill very easy to set up, and was making boards without problems using my regular chain. We had alot of fun making benches for the camp ring, boards for my boy's fort, garden 6x6 landscape barries etc. I've had it for a couple years and use it for fun projects with wood from our property and have saved a lot of money.
