Sleepers, Redgum.
I'm in the mkt for a mill frame to go on my Shtill 18" chainy.
I have a heap of huge railway reds I wanna try to plank or slab then remill on the rip bench into project size peices.
Ummmmm...are the sleepers not diam enough to get a mill on them? Too small for a mill. Guess I'd only get a bout 2 maybe 3 cuts to length.
Not sure.
Comments?
Shane? What do ya reckon?
Cheers.
Don't pass them by! Be daring and caring!
Dampen their misery....sit with them and talk a little.
Buy them something to eat and a tram fare to a local mission.
I'm so lucky that I've somewhere to live and have family support.

Martrix has milled a few sleepers using a home made Chain Saw mill (CSM), you might want to ask him directly
I'd be looking at using a bandsaw (BS) if possible simply because you lose so much timber using a CSM.
However, if you have no BS I'd make sure to use a 0.05" low profile bar/chain.
Cheers
