    Default G'day guys, need some tips milling iron bark.

    G'day guys,
    Well I've got an Alaskan mill that attaches to my Husq 395 and have milled some timber about 6 months ago. I will be milling some ironbark in the near future, wondering if anyone has any tips.
    Cheers

    Slow and steady, resharpen when it feels like it starting to struggle, plenty of bar oil and don't try to split Ironbark by hand

    Not riled at all and it's not semantics. Just pointing out the culturally appropriate use of the vernacular.
