Summary: 3 Stars
I have both a 36" alaskan MKIII mill and the mini-mill that I operate with a modified Husqvarna 394XP. I use Bailey's ripping chain, and 32" and 20" oregon sproketnose bars, along with a 42" hardnose bar for the really big stuff. In addition to the Chainsaw mills, I own a BetterBuilt Ripsaw, a chainsaw powered portable bandsaw, which can process a 14" cant. I bought the mini-mill to square up cants before milling; I thought it would be easier to use the mini-mill with a guide plank for the initial cut.
Turns out, except on smaller logs, say under 15", it is very difficult to keep a perfectly straight cut. With short logs, it works great; also works great for cutting giant logs in half up the middle, where the alaskan can't open up wide enough. BUT!, long bars are difficult to keep perfectly perpendicular to the guide plank, and want to turn inwards; you end up with a wavy cut, even with a very steady hand. Also, be prepared to eat dust with this one. It works best when positioned upside down, which aims the sawdust right at your face. Wear good sealed-face goggles and a respirator unless you like a lung full of sawdust and saw exhaust.
