Good Morning to You,
I have a Granberg model G-912  GRIND-N-JOINT chain saw sharpener,
which I have had for about 30 years. I live in north central Iowa,
about 10 miles from the Minnesota border. I heated my house for about
25 years with wood and my best friend and I had a side line business
cutting trees and selling fire wood. I do not know how much that sharpener
has saved me in chain saw sharpening bills. It still works, except the
drive belt broke last week. Can I order a new belt???? I am assuming it
is no longer under warranty. If I can order the belt, please e-mail me  with the cost
and postage to;
 

 
Thank-you for your time and consideration in this matter.
And thanks for making such a great product.

Dear Mr. Granberg,
After years of reading and researching different products to mill my own lumber,
I choose your companies product. I purchased your Small Log Mill this spring. I
also went found a nice 038AV (which is rated around 70cc)- the smallest recommended
for that mill. Since that time, I can’t say enough of how pleased I am with the mill.
 As long as my slab cuts are setup and aligned properly, each board I mill comes out
perfect. I also purchased one Granberg ripping chain for the saw. I have tried the
best chains for ripping, and yours is the smoothest, straightest, and most reliable.
It does however seem to need more attention as far as sharpening, and trades off
speed for smoothness of cut. Since my purchase, I have milled Cherry, Maple,
CottonWood, and Locust. I have found out that if you try to go too fast in your
cuts- your chain dulls quickly. But just taking it easy and not “rushing” turns
 out beautiful boards, that almost don’t need planning.

Sending information along with a DVD was a major advantage in my decision to
buy Granberg. Your website has a lot of material along with videos and pictures.
Not sure if you’re aware of how important this is to common buyers like myself,
 but it really is! Before making my purchase, I sent you an email. You addressed
my concerns. Responded-and I appreciate that. Nice job.

Hi Granberg Guys,

Nice meeting all of you the other day. I have been meaning to get back to you and let you know that the new ripping chain I bought from you is great.
Don and I went right to work "testing" out the new chain. The break in stretch was not too bad. I had to adjust it a couple of times and then it settled down and made some serious sawdust. We slabbed another 800 + bd.ft. of oak and a few hundred Bd.ft. of redwood for a deck I am building at me house. I'll shoot you a few photos.
At any rate the chain exceeded my expectations. It cuts fast and I uses much less gas than the old chain to get the same job done. The power head is not working as hard. My old perfectly good chain is now sitting in my tool box waiting to cover the job when and if I blow out or break the new chain. I may pick up a second ripping chain as a back-up.
I try to get back up there to see how the new slabbing mill is coming together. That should be another winner.

Thanks again for being and AMERICAN MADE company proving we can compete and make a superb product.

Dear Granberg staff,

I just purchased your Alaskan MK-III 24" mill and rip chain and it works
better than I ever thought it would.  My Stihl 440 handles it great.  I am
very impressed with the balance and clean cutting operation of the mill.
Since I've assembled and mounted it I've made lumber from a black walnut,
rocky mountain juniper, and quaking aspen.  I've finally been able to make
usable wood from the logs I've been collecting over the years.  Tonight I
had friends and neighbors come over just to see how it works.  I'm very
pleased with the results.  I've been looking at these mills for quite a few
years but I wasn't sure how well they would work.  Your online video
clinched my decision to get one.  Thanks again.

Using the Mini Mill I cut this 12 foot long beam. It is 10" X 11" X 12' Red Oak. This tree along with about 10 others went down during Hurricane Katrina, I just hated to see the wood rot or be burnt up as firewood.

Thanks for a great tool.

Dear Mr. Granberg and Crew:

I recently purchased one of your Alaskan portable saw mills from Bailey's. I attached an Echo 670 for a power head and it worked like a charm! I've never cut this clean with a chainsaw before. I'm carving benches, and your mill makes easy work for seats and backs. Enclosed are a few pictures of me in action. As for the noise vs. neighbors, lets just say I've put up with my share--they'll get over it.

I wish you and your company even more success in the upcoming year.

Thank you,

Dear Erik

The Dualsharp ( F210 ) I ordered came and is working wonderfully. Actually, I ordered two of them. That little device has saved me a lot money.

Regarding: Small Log Mill

I wanted to pass on our very satisfied position with this mill attachment for our chainsaw. My son Greg and I tried it out yesterday and were thrilled with the results. One of the strong points, over the much more expensive alternative of a bandsaw, was the truly consistent thickness of the slabs.

We are both very pleased with the results, the safety of the mill and the ease of use. Great setup!

Dear Granberg,

I am an amateur woodworker and I was interested in milling my own lumber, but I was apprehensive about the safety and effectiveness of Alaska chain saw mills. However, after finally acquiring one I immediately realized my concerns where unfounded. The system is easy to operate, safe (it's safer than cutting logs!) and very precise. I got excellent advice from the staff at Granberg and became proficient in a very short time. I regret not having purchased one sooner.

I recommend the system and I also urge those interested to buy Granberg ripping chain. I started with a ripping chain from a local hardware store and later found that the Granberg version cut lumber literally two to three times faster.

Dear Erik,

Just wanted to drop you line and tell you that this grinder is outstanding. 3 passes on a chain saw blade is all it needs, a matter of fact it sharpens better and faster than using the normal chain saw grinder. I am going to recommend it to some of my fellow landscapers, who are also members of the Ohio Landscaping Association, that if they need a small grinder for out in the field, this is the one to buy.

Sincerely,

Jim Gallucci

PS I love the MK-III. It works like a charm. I also got the Mini-Mill at the same time, and it too is a great piece of equipment.

I had the opportunity to use one this summer while cutting hiking trails through the Maine woods. It did a fantastic job of cutting planks for the bridges that needed to be built. I have to have one for myself!

Thanks,

I've been using granberg products for over twenty years and have never been disappointed in them. my grinders have saved me many hours of work and travel time. I would highly recommend granberg products.

Hi,

I recently purchased a 24" Alaskan Mark III chainsaw mill attachment and the Mini-Mill this summer. Your products really are a great value. The instructions are straightforward and easy to follow. Everything assembles quickly and easily with a few simple tools. The adjustments are quick and easy without a lot of fussing around. The results are boards of uniform thickness that rival anything I have seen come off a $25,000 bandmill. A great investment for anyone who hates to see trees go to waste. Paid for itself in an afternoon with the lumber I produced.

A greatly satisfied customer,

I bought one of your Alaskan MKII mills in the late 70's and it has been a great piece of equipment for a long time. I have most of the complete unit with a 54" bar, oiler, and two man handle. I use it with a Stihl 090 and have cut some amazing lumber with it...for instance, 44" wide slabs of live oak...It is truly a great addition to my tool inventory. I was involved in a major vehicle accident coming back from Colorado to Florida and I totaled a tool trailer which contained my prized MKII mill. The rear door was flung open and many of my tools were slung out along a 1/2 mile stretch of the highway during the night ...including the MKII mill. I thought I had picked all the tools up, but I missed a few, including the top mount piece of the MKII mill. This is the piece that adjusts for the thickness of cut and clamps to the upright bars that are mounted on the chain bar. I did not realize that it was missing until I went to use it again and of course, that was a bad day. Anyway, It has taken me a while to find you, and I was hoping that you might have replacement parts for this great old mill. I have built log homes, furniture and cut a lot of custom woods with this mill in the past 25 or so years and it has always been one of my main tools. Please let me know if you can help me out or direct me to where I could find a replacement part....

Thanks,

Harris

Good evening (or whatever it is where you are). I've been in touch with you a couple of times, because a few months ago I bought an Alaskan 36" mill in an online auction and, because some of the parts hadn't arrived, I thought I might have to re-order. As I live in Germany, that could have been difficult. In fact the parts turned up about a week later - it seems the rails confused German customs, and they didn't know what to do with them. Since then I've spent many an enjoyable hour sawing beech logs with what I would like to congratulate you on as an outstanding product.

What I need now is a Mini Mill to use as an edger. I'm not sure whether I can order directly from you or whether I should go through your distributor in Germany. In your last e-mail to me (sometime before Christmas) you gave me the name and address of your distributor here, which I promptly lost. I want to order a Mini Mill and some ripping chain, so if you could tell me which channel you prefer me to use, I'll go straight ahead.

Thanks once again

Harry Orr
