[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1533481, member: 17493"] Got it on CraigsList. It looks fun and is easy but its ALLOT of WORK. So just keep your eye open on CraigsList. Monthly there is a big power head and a mill setup listed cuz someone gave up. Expect to pay about $100 for the Alaskan bar guide. They are about $200 new. Now expect to spend about $500+ on a power head. I would say that an 066 is the minimum. Lots of times I wish I had more saw. Then I could put a bit more aggressive grind on the chain. Rip chain is just normal chain thats cut at less of an angle. So If ya wanna pay way to much and wait awhile, order a rip chain. Other wise grind your own. If your gonna mill slabs you will need a chain grinding machine and get good at using it. That kinda makes buying milling chain not needed. Most milling chain sold is geared towards the east coast and milling hardwoods. Not really the hot ticket with the cedar and fir around here. I cut allot of 3 inch slabs because they look good. If its over 24 wide then a 4 incher looks better tho. 2 inchers just look like lumber to me. I try nbot to cut so many 4 inchers, cuz its so easy to turn them into beams or lumber! :redneck: Not so sure I understand the last question? [/QUOTE]
