Detailed Review
The Granberg G778-36 Alaskan MKIV Chainsaw Mill turns a standard chainsaw into a mobile lumber-making setup. Designed for outdoor builders and woodworkers, it allows you to process fallen logs directly where they rest instead of hauling heavy raw timber to a stationary facility. It clamps directly onto your saw bar without any drilling, making on-site setup quick and straightforward.
Built with aircraft-grade aluminum and zinc-plated steel, this milling attachment focuses on rigid alignment and long-term stability. The adjustable rail design accommodates guide bars up to 36 inches long, letting you mill custom boards, slabs, or beams up to 30 inches wide. Thickness is fully adjustable from 1/2 inch to 13 inches deep, giving you the flexibility to produce thin planks or thick structural timbers.
Because it is a chainsaw attachment, its operation depends entirely on your own chainsaw and bar setup. It is capped at a 30-inch maximum lumber width and a 36-inch bar length, so logs wider than that capacity will require a larger mill. The listing also does not include details on overall unit weight or specific bar gauge requirements.
Verdict: The Granberg G778-36 is an excellent choice for DIY woodworkers and builders looking to mill their own slabs and beams on location. If you have a compatible chainsaw bar up to 36 inches, this American-made guide offers dependable precision and simple setup.
