Complete 48" Alaskan Mill Kit - .375 pitch

If you are serious about milling with an Alaskan mill, this is the ultimate set-up. This kit includes everything you will need to cut large slabs with ease, and it allows you to hook up two powerheads for ultimate ripping power (50" cuts through hardwood go a lot faster with two saws pulling for you!). The heart of this package is the basic package. These mills are the most economical way to efficiently turn your logs into lumber with the power of a chainsaw. Alaskan sawmills can cut almost any size board or beam imaginable, and to any length! Nearly all timber is accessible to these sawmills, because they are very light and portable. Tabletops and burls are also very easy to cut with these mills, leaving the natural edge on your slab. Alaskan mills cut fastest on softwoods, but even extremely dense woods can be milled. You will need a fairly large chainsaw, a ripping chain and some safety clothing and you are ready for a mill.

A Few Words About Chainsaw Milling...
Making lumber with a chainsaw can be a very inexpensive and rewarding way to mill boards from logs. However, there are a few things you should know before diving into chainsaw milling.

Milling lumber requires a large horsepower chainsaw. We recommend chainsaws with at least 3.8 cubic inches (60 cc) of displacement for the smaller mills that run bars up to 20". For larger mills, go for the biggest saw you can get. Saws with 5.0 cubic inches (80 cc) are a minimum, and when making cuts over 36" you'll need the largest saws made. Milling lumber is extremely taxing on chainsaws. Keep the gas mixed properly and the air filters clean.
Use a ripping chain when milling. Standard saw chain is designed to cut across the grain, not with it. Ripping chains are designed for milling, and they leave a smooth, consistent finish.
Take your time. Chainsaw milling can be a slow process, but the rewards are great. Make sure logs are clean of rocks and dirt and look for nails or fencing. They will ruin a chain quickly. Always wear proper safety gear and use log handling tools to move heavy cants.

All kits include the following:

Basic Alaskan mill with 48" rails
56" double ended bar
helper handle with a roller bearing
auxiliary oiler
set of slabbing brackets
171 drive link loop of conventional .375 pitch x .063 ripping chain to fit the double ended bar.

Optional: Slabbing Brackets

Q.	It states that you have everything necessary but doesn't seem to have the saw. I don't understand the difference between the Basic and Complete Mills. Do you have a model, manufacturer for the saw you recommend?
A.	The complete mill is designed to allow the use of two power heads (chainsaws) simultaneously. About 1/3 the price of this package is the high quality Double Ended Bar from Cannon. You also get the aux oiler, the helper handle (used with only one power head), slabbing brackets and the chain. The Bas ... (See full answer) The complete mill is designed to allow the use of two power heads (chainsaws) simultaneously. About 1/3 the price of this package is the high quality Double Ended Bar from Cannon. You also get the aux oiler, the helper handle (used with only one power head), slabbing brackets and the chain. The Basic Mill is just the mill with the rails which is used with a single power head. A standard roller tip bar is used. Both will work with any model saw. In general the bigger the better for milling (minimum 70 cc's for 24" logs). If you are using two chain saws then it is recommended that they are of the same make and model as their chain speed needs to match. (Hide full answer)

Q.	Ok, I've got most of what I needed to know from looking through the FAQ's of most every Mill and mill kit complete, Still not sure the Complete kits come with the EZ-rails http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=G1080&catID= Thanks for your time and expertise.
A.	Actually the list of what the kit contains is included on the description and the EZ rails are not included in the mills. It is considered an accessory/option. The complete kits do have slabbing brackets that you use your own 2x4s with.

Q.	This Item says out of stock. Can I still buy this kit?
A.	Yes, this kit is still available. At this time it appears that the 56" double ended bar in this kit is special order. So when you order it we bring in that big specialized bar to our warehouse, especially for you.
