what is the smallest cc chainsaw required to run this mill
1364264
it really depends on the size of the wood you are cutting. there are different size mills to accommodate the bar length of your saw. if your saw bogs down when you're crosscutting a large log, it will when you are ripping as well.

We used a Husqvarna (farm hand) chainsaw with a 24" bar. We did not have a lot of lumber to cut. That would be the smallest size chain saw that works for small jobs. I suspect 'small' saw would perform better with a rip chain. I was a fun project.

I am using a Stijl 036 with a standard ripping chain. It works but could use more power. One solution may be the specialty bar with the narrow chain. More $. So unless I have more than occasional use, I'll make do.

N.L.,it all depends the unit you buy. They have 36" and 40" units - which is the length of main bar from the tip of the chain saw to the motor. I have a 24" unit which I find myself trimming the log sides to accomodate about 19" width max blank size. but most of what i remove is resin-wood, so it's no great loss.

anything below 60 is going to be realllllllly slow.... my stihl 362 is 59 and any smaller would be not worth it it seems. A rip chain really does help a lot. the oregon one works fine

Call the company. They actually make a special chain for this saw. I found that out the hard way.

I use a small file designed for saw chains...I used the same file on my Stehl as my B and D..chain is the same size link..just shorter.

You would have to find a black and decker.part number for the chain made for it and cross reference it to the Oregon part number. Call Black and Decker service techs.

As it is an 18 volt tool it only will run on 18. it will cut metal. But be prepared to have a few batteries on deck. Suggest a corded implement for heavier situations then just a few cuts. Check out porter cables 18v cut off wheel/ grinder.

I have a Stihl 025. I believe the MS 250 is a later version of that model. Mine has an 18" bar and an eleven tooth sprocket and this chain fits those specifications. I am not an expert, but I believe the MS 250 may come with a nine or and eleven tooth sprocket, each sprocket requiring a different chain--so the model of your saw, the bar length and the sprocket would determine the exact chain you need. This is the Stihl on line PDF I used to determine the chain I needed for my particular model, bar and sprocket. https://www.stihldealer.net/Company/WebContent/Content/FileLibrary/SawChainSelection-6.pdf.

well the 180 stihl is a bit small i use a 73cc husquavarna it cutts well but i dont want to get into production speed because its not realy for cutting a lot of board feet more for personal wood working but i also have a granberg mini mill for beams and i just use a husky 55 rancher 54cc equivalent to a stilh farm boss and with a RIPPING chain works fine a 32cc saw i dont think you are going to have the tork to power through but you want to let the saw do the work so your cuts are nice and true ripping chain wise i am not sure they have one in a .325 size chain but dont quote me grandbergs web site could tell you they sell ripping chain if you do get the 777 its very simple to assemble keep all the nuts loose till you get it all squared up and lock them all down tite. one more thing when cutting soft woods cedar and pine cutting speeds are much faster in like 3 hrs i cut 12-14 2ftwide by 9 long cedar logs into 1.25in thick boards just keep your teeth sharp and no problem

Nooooo! Buy at least a 4-6 Amp corded saw. I broke mine taking pallets apart.

hi Ed, i'm pretty sure you would want to get a 5/16 grinding stone for your saw chain. i'm assuming you have something like a ms 260 class chainsaw.

I really don't know. If it includes a Stihl chainsaw I will be happy to get one.

2". Buy the cubic insert set of 4 (3/4") IF you want to transplant the smallest blocks (3/4" Micro block maker) into the 2".

I am using a small 310 cca and works perfectly. Just need to recharge after every 2 uses or so. It pulls a nascar up and down a ramp.

I have a 24" and an 18" for a similar chainsaw. It should run the 24" fine but if you are cutting small stuff and/or limbing it is easier and--more importantly--safer to run a shorter chain. I love the saw though; I'm still cleaning up from Sandy.

Only if the guage size is the same. My saw came with the mini guage chain. This bar is for the larger full sized guage. Check a Stihl chart for that info. I would suggest you upgrade to the larger chain for better performance. There is a YouTube video specific to this issue.

It's probably to small to handle the skill saw. Wire size should be 2 guage minimum and no longer than 3'

I have used mine with a medium sized Makita chain saw. There was enough power and performance under prolonged use. Slight lag on starting the saw. It should be more than adequate for a circular saw.
