Chainsaw mill on youtube

Looks similar to my mill.
The sawing is very slow...
my guess is he bolted on a mid size
Stihl, and used a crosscut chain.
Still,
it's an interesting video.

Very, very nice rig, but that poor saw is hurting. Hard to say what chain he's using, but considering he's making more dust than chips tells me it isn't sharp.

The info line says he is using a Stihl 460 Mag. Not the biggest, but still pricey, at least new from the dealer.
