- Here ya go folks. Pitting the Bandsaw Mill against my chainsaw mill with the Holzfforma G660 in it. Been wanting to do this for quite some time finally got the chance while holed up at home during the pandemic. Stay safe and healthy my friends.

Boy that old Harbor Freight mill was working in that elm.
I thought you were kidding when you said it was Harbor Freight till I looked it up. Also great to see you out and about Cy.
Man, it's good to see that you're up and about and strong enough to work a chainsaw mill already. Hope you stay healthy. Be safe!
Good to hear you're on the mend Cy , you can carry the Alaskan down a hill mill then carry the boards up . All saws are designed to operate vertically due to the expulsion of wood dust and gravity , when the band over heats it wanders and is less forgiving in steel obviously faster I believe developing the strength of .325 gauge chain in a skip rip clearing cutter format would reduce down grade and therefore increase cutting speed .
Glad this was in real time . Dont know about milling but current lumber prices has kindled my interest and will be looking into them more closely
And yes it was in real time or at least I. The same speed mode if not. Made this video a long time ago so don't remember exactly LOL
I have seen the result from chainsaw mill with a the saw at a fixed angle. Result was not bad at all! So the wiggeling, allthough tempting, appears to be something one should try to avoid. Also avoiding stops during a cut might help. 🙂
Even then the difference is Huge. I have done it that way before.
I might get both sawmills. Both of them will be useful to me. Hopefully one day I'll own my own land and a house.
it's a good combo, section the tree into 6x12 slabs on site, which can be manhandled around by a couple men and levers onto a trailer, run it home to the fixed band mill to slice into neat 6x1 or 12x1 boards.
Cy I hope you stay healthy to keep showing us your videos I like them
Great video Uncle Cy! I learned a lot from it as I do from many of your videos. Thanks
Hey Cy how are you. I hope you are doing well
Yes I am, still recovering to some extent, but I think I am past the worst of it. Now if my damn hair would grow back LOL.
DIY with Uncle Cy that’s good
Just a few thoughts, have you thought of adding vertical/angle bracing on the bandsaw mill from the top down to the trolly, it may stiffen in up and get cleaner cuts, prevent it from shaking as much, and from experience a winch for the chainsaw mill makes a HUGE difference, you can make one probably or granberg makes one not too expensive, but really it is like night and day, have a good one
Thanks for your videos, I always appreciate the info. Did you ever do a video on your oiler I got the 660 after one of your videos, still yet to run it. It's brand new so I'm curious on a break in process for it too
Oiler video is here ruclips.net/video/Jw9hyuhgQcU/видео.html
For break in just keep the factory tune for about 3 tanks. After that you can tweak it to run faster.
@@DIYwithUncleCy that's exactly what I was talking about thank you sir
Good comparison! You've had the harbor freight mill for a few years. Have you done a video with an evaluation of how it's held up, and how it compares to other popular bandsaw mills? Thanks for your vids!
As it is the only bandsaw mill I have, I am unwilling to make a comparison to other mills. I try to share my experience, I have no experience with other saws. I must say I have been impressed with this one in that it does everything I need it to do. The limitations I mention in the video are about the only down side to it. All in all it has been worth the money I spent on it.
👍nice!
from what i gather the alaskan mill is better at cutting large beams 4x4 ,6x6 and larger. from med size trees and its portability . the mill is better at demential lumber of all thicknesses.
Are you using a ripping chain? I just make my own, and they cut better.
Still love the info, thanks for posting.
Yes it is a ripping chain.
And it was freshly sharpened. But the bandsaw had a fresh blade too. I get lots of comments from people that have not chainsaw milled a hardwood tree. It does go faster in cedar or pine but so does the bandsaw mill.
@@DIYwithUncleCy I have Red Oak, Gum and Walnut here.
What I to be careful of is nails and metal grown in the tree. I once found an old file in my ashes of my wood furnace. Glad I didn't try to cut that!..
I have gotten a very smooth finish with a normal chain filed to 10 degrees by hand. It depends also how much you wiggle the saw. I have always cut with the top of the bar also it keeps the dust out. I am aware it is more dangerous that way and it could theoretically stress the sprocket but i have done that for so many years and had no problems.
@@kutzbill Lol i hit a nail in a maple tree once and it took a tooth straight off on a brand new husqvarna chain. Man those new line of chains are bad cant even get them as sharp as the old ones filing. Oregon chains i can get as sharp as new til the end.
I'm thinking of getting a Chinese saw with 36" or 42" bar dedicated to milling. (My 60cc saw with 24" bar is really working, and limited to about 20" wide boards.) Which saw you've tried would you recommend?
i don't have the equipment to move logs so chainsawmill wins
I have a HF mill, what’s your experience tell you about water vs. no water?
Always keep the band cool. I do not run mine without water.
DIY with Uncle Cy thanks for the response
What size stock did you use to extend the length of the mill track?
Off the top of my head it was 3/8 by 5 inches angle iron. I did have to mill the rail wheels to accept the 3/8 as the previous was 8mm.
