Zozen Chainsaw Mill, Portable Sawmill - Can be Assembled into 3 sizes for Independent Use, Suitable for 14-36 inches Planking Milling Bar, A Flexible Cutting Guide System for Builders and Woodworkers.

Excellent performance, best if you have a powerfull and well sharpemed sawchain.The best is that you can travel essy with it, specially if you have to tale airplanes…not much soace and weight.

This was as easy or easier to assemble as my last mill but I like this one better, it seems more sturdy, the hardware is beefier. I also like that it's 3030 standard extruded rails so replacement parts might be easier to find or make when I break it. While the nuts stay on better, the clamp system can allow the bar to slip and f up your chain if you don't pay attention (operator error)

This mill is well built with just a couple of quirks that I can easily get over. So far, I’ve milled a few oak logs and a couple maple combined with a Husqvarna Rancher 460 with a 24” bar and Forester ripping chain. If you take your time, everything runs great and I’d guess it goes about 1’ / 1-1.5 minutes. Use your wedges in the back of the log once you are clear enough and then side wedges every few feet. Also, pay attention to your markings on the depth gauge. I installed mine in opposite directions, so I have to look around one side or the other to match them up. Overall, I like the kit and know I can run a bigger saw, if I get one! Definitely recommend this Alaskan mill.Pros:Stable / wide platform that keeps cuts level and tracking well.Lightweight frame, but solid backing for the saw.Easy to adjust cut height with your standard chainsaw wrench.Brackets for the first cut work well, if your log’s end cut is fairly square.Cons:Plastic handled bolts for holding handle and end brace vibrate out. I’d recommend some blue loctite on these and nuts that won’t be adjusted.Handle is awkward to use. I wish it was upright, like most other mill kits. I might add a clamp on handle for that purpose.One the second cut and beyond, you have to make sure you start level, or the back of the guide will bind when it gets on the log.

First time ever using an "Alaskan Chainsaw Mill." Setup wasn't terrible. Had to watch some videos online but was pretty easy. Of note: make sure you have a rail system for the first board, to remove the outer rough cut board. This kit did not come with those mounting brackets, but this same brand offers them. Ordered, and it worked great.One thing I found out quickly and was new to me (even though everyone I talked too who has used this style of mill, said "Yes, that is an issue" is that you lose a lot of the cutting width. I was running a 20" bar on a Stihl 311 and by the time you add the saw to the mill, the brackets and how it mounts takes up about 4 inches of your cutting length leaving you with a max cut of 16". I ended up having to purchase a 25 inch bar and new ripping chains. With the 25" bar, I was able to slab boards under 20" in width. Ideally, a 36 inch bar would be better but my Stihl 311 would be very unhappy with that much chain. Overall, really love this product. Well built, sturdy, and works. Only complaint would be with all of the track extension set screws. These will vibrate out of their hole quite easily and I am going to use some lightweight locktite to help the screws stay in place. Recommend this product.

Very easy assembly. Worked fantastic for making slabs.

The Zozen Chainsaw Mill is versatile with 3 size options, suitable for 14-36" planks. However, assembly can be tricky, and the cutting guide isn’t always precise. Decent for DIY projects but may need adjustments for smoother operation. Good value for money but lacks professional-grade durability. Could improve stability.

Great mill. Bought this for my son. It is designed well, durable, just the right size, and easy to use. Going to get a lot of use out of this!

I’m impressed with the Zozen Chainsaw Mill. It’s sturdy, well-built, and the flexible cutting guide system makes milling planks a breeze. I used it to cut 36-inch logs, and the results were smooth and accurate. It’s perfect for DIY projects and professional woodworkers alike. Highly recommend!
