Granberg Chain Saw Mill, Model# G777 Reviews

I made a temporary set out of some scrap lumber, but it did not work all that well. By using gentle pressure, I was able to get some smooth finishes on the boards, although running through a planer will probably be necessary for most projects. I used a Stihl MS 361 saw with a 20" bar, which might be a bit overkill. Using the Granberg ripping chain, I was able to cut quickly and smoothly. The logging company left everything over 12 inches in diameter, which might be a bit inefficient for cutting into boards, but a nice straight log is better as a board than firewood. After getting some property logged, it seemed to be a waste to cut up the treetops that were left just for firewood.

Now, instead of firewood, I have some boards that I can use for other projects. I would not recommend using this without also getting the ripping chain. The Granberg slabbing rails are next on my "to get" list. The results were much better than I expected.
