The way he does it in the video is to draw the blade from the front of the log to the back, so the tip is not contacting wood. For preparing turning blanks I don't think you would need a portable mill, but it would be great for doing lumber.
I've processed perhaps dozens of logs using just my electric chainsaw (I highly recommend the new makita one if you are looking for a replacement) and find that so long as I keep the blade sharp and avoid cutting into end grain it works well enough.
