Slab Mill

[Believer]

I'd like to build a slab mill around 60".  I searched for posts about build but didn't find any.  I thought I'd ask in a post if anyone can point me in a fruitful direction.  Thanks.

Howdy believer, bout the only suggestion I can give is to check out youtube, a search should give you something to look at,      david

Check out the L-M chainsaw splitter.  There are also some good posts on building your own chainsaw mills here.  One particularly good one that could be scaled up is by pitotshock available at https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,41080.msg592651.html#msg592651

Also, check out the Peterson/Lucas slabbers.

I've got a 72" double ended cannon bar that I'm hoping to turn into one of these this spring/summer.  - Ryan

As Ryan mentioned, depending on how thick you want to cut, a Lucas or Peterson with a slabbing bar should do a 60" log.

Here is an old thread showing a link to another slabbing mill that will do an 8' log!
