Zozen Chainsaw Mill Aluminum Profile 12inch, Used for Spliced Extension to 48inch, Help to Extend Cutting Size to 48inch, Only match for Zozen Chainsaw Mill

I haven’t used the jig yet only because I need to get some extra chains. Milling wood is hard on a chainsaw.The packaging is excellent.The assembly is easy.The quality is very good. Heavy parts, solid bolts. You even get the tools you need to configure and adjust.I am not using the 2 set of extensions (yet) as I have it configured for a Dewalt cordless 16 inch bar.There was one mistake in the instructions where they talk about a band saw rather than a chain saw but I’m pretty sure I know the difference.The only drawback I see so far is that the bar clamp at tip is a little wider than needed. This caused me to move the clamp inward. By doing so I lost roughly 1/2 inch of log width. I would hope the company sees this and updates the model to accommodate a smaller bar width. If the bar clamp was 1/4 inch narrower I could have clamped at the end of the bar rather than 1/2 inch back.I would have also liked to have seen a small level on the crossbar. The uprights have markings for both inch and metric but I’d like to know when I set for 2 inch thickness both sides are equal and level instead of possibly being 1/16 off due to trying to align the marks against the upright. Easy fix, I have line levels. But would be nice if built in.Overall it seems very good quality and well designed. I’m pretty happy with it.

I have a pretty massive tree that went down and i bought this to slab up my old growth wipe pine. i used an extension ladder for the first cut and a Stihl 066 with a 32" blade. I also bought the extension kit so i can put my 46" bar and chain on when i get lower on the tree. The Zozen went together quickly and wasn't missing any parts. I prepped the tree for the first cut 9' long by about 26" wide cut which went smooth. Then I set the depth to 2 1/2", and made another pass, filled up with gas about half way through, and should have filled up with bar oil, i was out then done with the second cut. Saw was a beast, and the mill did its job perfectly. i inspected it after and no bolts loosened up. I did make sure they were tight before starting. I will be using the extension this weekend towards the bottom of the tree. I would reccomend 2 people to run it, at least for larger trees.

I used it to slab up some birch wood from a tree I cut down. It made cutting straight, even slabs easy. The felling wedges included in it helped keep the chainsaw from binding. The only gripe is that it's hard to adjust accurately, but all of them look to have the same adjustment.

If your buying one of these your clearly not afraid of a bit of work. When you unbox this spend some time with a file removing all the burrs - you get what you pay for. I removed a large portion of my knuckle on the edge of the chain tip guard while trying to adjust the bolts clamping it to the saw tip.For all you guys with the 12-14 inch bars thinking you'll squeak a 10 inch board - forget it. If you clamp the tip end over the bearing portion of the bar you'll pinch the bearing and it won't spin. I moved mine an inch or so further off the tip and it was able to spin but then while it was running I could see it smoking. I'll be getting a longer bar. A 7-8" wide cut is reasonable.I did like the way they make the overall length adjustable if you have a smaller saw your not committed to have a >36" jig body.I do not appreciate needing tools to adjust everything. Thumbscrews and lever-locks would have been nice additions. Overall I think the quality is decent and worth the $ but there is room for improvement.

does a good job holding the saw and glides relatively well. Some of the bolts had fallen out during shipping but fortunately the manufacturer provides several extra bolts. The endcaps on hte profiles fall out during operation. Check the screws and bolts frequently and tighten when necessary. The chainsaw's vibrations cause things to loosen and fall off. The mill seems well made and is square and sturdy. The manual is not that great, but who needs a manual manuals are for sissies, so forget the manual and watch a youtube video from a slabber on what to look out for if you are first timer. Adjusting the cut height is not great as the markings provided on the machine are not very detailed and hard to see which could affect your accuracy.
