  1. Can you quarter saw lumber with this system?

    I have several oak trees that I would like to convert into picture framing material. Would like to quarter saw them to give an interesting grain effect. Can I use the EZ Mill and Guide rail system to rough cut lumber using a Quater Saw technique?

    Thank-you

    1. Yes, you can, although time-consuming you can do it.

      Helpful?

    2. You can mill down to 1" thick boards, which after drying could be planed and shaped for framing material. Quarter sawing would capture the flashy grain from oak's radial rays, and yes, you can do this, but you will leave behind a lot of nice oak. You can also mill thicker slabs (2-3") of full width, and after drying, rip the central portions on a band saw or table saw to select the grain pattern you desire, then plane.

    3. Great for 1st cut but you will also need the mini mill to do the 2nd cut square.

      Helpful?

    4. This is just the guide and would require the Alaskan MK III portable lumber mill to complete the system. The lumber mill is available to work with 20", 24", 30" or 36" chainsaws. The item number for these are 11879, 11871, 11872 and 11873. You would be able to quarter cut with this system although it could be difficult. You would need to rotate your log 90 degrees for the quarter cut.
