Workshop Fitting Out & Project Pages.
An Electric Chainsaw Mill (Part 3).
This article is on three pages. The first page
discussed the practical options and limitations when
considering using an electric chainsaw for small-scale
milling, and described how the Oregon CS
1500 electric chainsaw was fitted to a small
Royston 24" Portable Chainsaw ("Alaskan")
Mill.
The second page described how a jig was designed
and built to support the Royston Mill,
with the Oregon CS 1500 electric
chainsaw, as well as safely supporting and securely
holding the wood being milled. Note that this jig
although designed for the Oregon CS1500 electric
chainsaw, would be equally usable with a small petrol
driven chainsaw and "Alaskan Mill" combination.
This third page describes how the jig was assembled
& operated.
On this page we look at:
Assembling the Jig
Operating the Jig
Assembling the jig
The assembly of the chainsaw mill jig is described in
two ways. The first video sequence shows the assembly
in diagrammatic form by means of a series of animated
sketches.
The second video sequence shows the actual assembly in
a sequence of clips.
