   Bill you can use a standard chain to give you a fairly decent cut. A rip chain is only about the width of the bar and break fairly easily unless used in some sort of saw supporting device like a Alaskan Chain-Saw mills or a chainsaw saw mill. If you are planning on milling a lot of lumber than you should look at a bigger saw. I burned up a Husky 62 a few years ago doing just what you are planning on doing. The saw you have if I can remember right is 55CC and will have to work pretty hard to do any amount of ripping.

   I have attached a picture of my dads chain saw mill.

   I use them weekly in the freehand mode with a 36" 046 Stihl and don't recall one ever breaking.

   My mill only takes 7' diameter logs and many big cedar buttresses are bigger than that and have to be lopped off first.

   baileys-online.com in CA and TN....by far the best prices anywhere.

   While I also strongly recommend a simple Alaska Mill for slabbing, I do a lot of chainsaw carpentry with them as a way to efficiently use cedar sawmill waste.
