I'd like to build a log cabin, small, on the land I cut on, but I've no desire to mill anything! I've watched it done, not my cup of tea! Even with a band mill, not for me! I'm good with notching and grooving to make the ends fit, and I'll chink the hell out of it if I have to! Milling is an...

I know Butch, apples and oranges here.

But if he plans on milling, it's a whole new world Butch! You don't have to wield it, and there is no such thing as too much power!

If you want to beat a 30" band mill, really, it's 880, 3120, or, if you are lucky, an 090.

By the way, I am Andy, Skwerl is Brian, HI!

Now we are on the same page! 880, you can mill WTF you want! It just sucks because it's a special bar mount. Sorry, I don't mean to me a jerk, but milling is ten times harder on a saw than cutting! I've seen many a burnt up medium size saw from milling! People just can't understand that. Edit...

The good news, that bar will work on the 460! Really, 20-25" hardwood with the 460 is pushing hard. 25-32" Softwood. If you want to mill, you will need a BEAST of a saw! Seriously, think 660 or larger if you want to make nice slabs. Anything less, and you will burn it up pretty fast.

Cutting, a 28", milling, an 18". I really wouldn't recommend this setup myself. 18" or less hard wood, 24" or less softwood. Also richen the carb up, lots of heat and stress on a saw when milling. A 460 would really be the smallest saw I'd recommend for milling, but that's my opinion.
