Milling Around the Logosol CSM

[richhiway]

 

  Fairly Heavy.

  Sixteen inches on the small end. You can cut larger logs,you end up with thick slabs that you have to put back on the mill.

  As you cut your cant,make sure the face of the log is square with the rest,each time you flip the log.

  You can cut the boards of the top with the uncut side down. I prefer to cut from a squared cant. I cut 1" boards and I leave 2" on the last board and cut it into 2X?

  The 046 has enough power but ideally you should have a 90cc size saw. I am on the lookout for a good 066.

[richhiway]

 

  If you loose your way on the log bed cranks or need to cut a certain size,just ake a line with a speed square and a pencil.

[richhiway]

 

  And there you go.

I also have a Logosol M7.  I really like mine.  My back is messed up but milling on the M7 is no problem.  I cringe when I see people bending over those Granberg mills on the ground.  Gary

This may be wrong place to post this but where would you find hydraulic log stops for a TK 1600. I don't know if they even exist. If they don't I  will retrofit any I can find. Thanks

Thanks for the advise. Always careful. I have run saws for 40+ years and never had one kickback or hit the chain break.  Don't know why as you hear so much about it. I will say that I do keep a very firm grip on a saw at all times. Not sure how that little bar could reach your eye unless you had the saw over your head?

Soooo you're telling me that running my 660 at arms length with one arm over my head cutting high tails on my log truck is most likely not the best idea  :D :D :D

[Kbeitz]

Depends on the size of the arms.

[Brandon1986]

Big enough arms to get the 25#saw up there and set it on the log.. after its on the log just be ready to control its decent and get the heck out of dodge as both the saw and the tail comes off..

Seems to be a good running old machine. Looks well taken care of.

Good weekend to cut some lumber.

Making some saw dust.

Set works and scale on the Logosol. 1/4 or 1/8

[richhiway]

 

 
These guides are a option but make it easier to maintain accurate cuts. You do not have to bend down to see them. The way the logosol works is as you crank the handle the dog makes a audible click each time it engages a tooth. You can set it for 1/8 or 1/4 "clicks" . As you crank the winch to raise the log you count eleven 1/8 clicks to cut a 1" board. One inch plus 3/8ths for the cut. If you miscount the clicks it is easy to see on these guides that are right in front of you. They help speed things up.

When it comes to chainsaw mills, that Logosol looks liks a top notch piece of equipment!
