NOTE: With this option you get 100ft of Panther 404 Hyperskip Ripping Chain. You DON’T get a ready made up chain with this kit. This will make x8 chains for this bar at a cost of £40+vat per chain [usual cost of a chain bought individually £65+vat]. Reduce stress, cost and drama if you write off a chain. This package includes the breaking and mending equipment as well.
If you are serious about getting into chainsaw milling please read the following description – click on the various links [they are all relevant and they will answer a lot of your questions]. Chainsaw milling is a discipline in itself and it will take months if not years to really begin to master it. Our Panther chainsaw mill has been designed and built by Loglogic [click to find them here – BUT please do not call them for advice or sales – they ONLY sell through retailers]. Loglogic are a bespoke engineering firm that make various custom machines [mainly their all terrain Soft traks] and together with Chainsawbars the Panther Chainsaw Mills are the result. Using input from chainsaw millers with more than 10 years experience to create a mill for chainsaw millers by chainsaw millers. We didn’t develop these mills in order to make clones or similar style mills to what was already out there or what you could pick up cheaply on ebay – because what would be the point of that? We developed them to improve the design, the look, the performance and the ease of use.
Something to be aware of – we are ALWAYS making tweaks and improvements to the design. You may find the mill you receive may not be exactly and precisely what the instructions denote. It is pretty much impossible to keep everything up to date as we are constantly looking to improve the mill itself and rather than waiting – we just do it!
The mill arrives semi assembled – getting a bag of nuts and bolts may make our lives easier – but it makes yours harder. Hence the mill you get will have as much pre assembly completed as possible so that you spend the least time putting it together.
WHAT SIZE MILL DO I NEED AND WHICH MAKE?
This is a question to be directed at yourself – we have the mills but only you know what your largest saw is, what wood you have to cut, whether you may want to put a smaller bar on your mill for future. If this is a question you are asking then you MUST read this article here
WHAT OTHER ACCESSORIES CAN I BUY? WHAT ABOUT FIRST CUT SYSTEMS? DO PANTHER MAKE A VERTICAL MILL?

Question – Can I fit a Panther Mill to my existing saw? Can I buy a larger model in case I want to fit to a larger saw in the future? Can I extend the mill later if I want to?
The Answers are 1) Yes you’ll have to drill x2 holes in the bar find Panther Bare Mills without bar and chain by clicking here 2) Yes you can always fit a larger Panther Mill to a smaller bar. One method as below. 2nd method is more sophisticated – buy an Panther Additional Central Bracket Assembly found and demoed here.3) Yes you can extend the mill at a later date but really you are better off using a longer mill on a smaller bar to start with as extending a mill is more expensive further down the line [but it can be down].
How much milling width do I get on may chainsaw? Easy – take your chainsaw and knock off 8″[or 20cm] and this is what you will mill maximum width.
New Monster Double Ended Panther Milling Kits can now be found by clicking here!
These beefy kits give you all you need and are also made of the the larger and stronger 45mm profile material.
Designed by chainsaw millers for chainsaw millers.
Re designed from the ground up – most other chainsaw mills are copied from existing designs – the Panther Mill has been re designed from scratch.
Height adjustment is tool less and fast – in fact it is the fastest compared with any other mill on the market. Simply rotate the round handle to adjust how deep the mill will cut. No need to hold a spanner in one hand while trying to adjust the mill with the other.
Attachment is the quickest of any chainsaw mill – easily bolt and unbolt your mill to your chainsaw.
Attachment to the saw is bolted not clamped – the saw can never slip in the mill.

The mill is designed to be used with special GB Lo Pro milling bars which are thinner and narrower than existing chainsaw bars for a faster, cleaner cut.
Panther Mills automatically come with a full winch set up to make milling 80% easier than pushing by hand [this is now the new lighter custom Panther winch].
There is a dedicated Panther First Cut System to ensure your first cut is table top flat. This first cut system can be extended and widened indefinitely. It is the best on the market today.
In the long term additional functionality will be built into the Panther Mill that currently does not exist anywhere else – but you’ll have to watch this space to see!
