As someone who has recently become obsessed with chainsaws and hoped to do some milling, I thought this was pretty neat.

However, I see two limitations for it as a milling station. 

1) you'd have to get the log up on the table, which would limit the size of the log you could mill.
2) I don't know how far the arm can be extended, but it sure doesn't look like it'd be able to handle the bigger bars.

Since one of the advantages of chainsaw mills is the ability to handle big logs, I think I'd rather use a regular mill, which can be used on site (no need to drag the log to the shop and up the table), and could handle much bigger bars (Granberg Alaskan Mill can handle 48" bar and is quite affordable).

Still, I thought it was neat. Thanks for sharing.
