Easy to assemble and use. Saves so much time when cut flat comparing to cutting freehand. Recommend to anyone wanting to take their skill set to another level. Thank you!

This Granberg mini mill model g555b is a great tool for making boards out of logs.The first cut is most important as it dictates the straightness of your remaining cuts. The tip I would provide for the first cut is to nail or screw ( I used screws ) a short 2 X 4 to either end of the log, with the middle of this short 2 X 4 at the height of the top most round part of the log. Make sure this short 2 X 4 is level by placing a level on it. Once these short 2 X 4s are attached to either end of the log, then lay the 2 X 6 that the rails are attached to, onto the log and over these short 2 X 4s at either end. Align this 2 X 6 to the width you want the first cut to be. Screw or nail down the 2 X 6 and you are now ready to cut.Once this first cut is made, the subsequent cuts are very easy.This tool was fantastic for making straight and long cuts.Be sure to keep the chainsaw sharp and obtain a ripping chain versus a normal safety chain saw chain.I have used this tool on white pine and oak logs and am very satisfied with the results.

Product works great. Takes a small amount of time to set up properly but the results are definitely worth while.

Quality components and proven reliability. Stay away from cheap imitations. Backed by a family owned company. Made in the USA!

I’m a complete chainsaw newbie, so I bought a Stihl MS661 chainsaw with a 32” bar, a Granberg G555B, a G778-36, a Granberg ripping chain, chainsaw chaps, a respirator, and a face shield. For the G555B rails, I purchased some extra v-rails and a 16-foot 2x6 (grade 2). I flattened the 2x6 with hand tools, snapped a final chalk line to align the v-rails, then screwed them in. The actual G555B was pretty easy to put together itself.Long story short, I spent most of a weekend moving heavy logs around with a 48” Log Rite Cant Hook. Some of the logs were 2 feet in diameter and they were exhausting to move. At the end of the weekend, I got the new chainsaw working, mounted the board with the v-rail board to a lot, and cut a 16 foot-long slice off of the log. It was pretty quick!I love this thing.
