Valorbe files, are great when u can get them, better than oregon /stihl and other brands , they dont glaze like the rest and stihl files are shorter in length

Any ideas what tree this is and if any good for burning thanks

I haven't really done many stone cutters TBH, they are usually shagged on so many levels as the guys that run them, have no concept of cleaning and changing air filters so the cylinder, piston, mains etc are usually shot and repair stupidly expensive. These stone saws only rev to around 9600rpm so will sound pretty flubby compared to a saw. If the machines coil is limited, my tach starts bouncing all over the place so the easiest way to tune any machine with a limited coil is to richen up the H screw, rev the machine up and keep leaning it out until the tach goes wild and this way, you can be sure the carb is limiting the engine at the same point the coil is. This always worked fine for me. If you are doing much of this work then doing this sort of adjustment with a tach is pretty critical hence this tool was one of the first I got Not much help in your case but perhaps just turning the H screw right in and then leaning it down until there is no further change then winding it back in 1/6th of a turn may do it. On the Politics...I am referring to, as ADW was, about the guys that seem to hate each other on the threads about the Labour party, Russia, Farage etc. There is now very little about repairs on this site and guys like Garden kit, ADW and myself etc just move on. Unfortunately many of the "Old School" are gone and along with them, a wealth of knowledge....just the way it is. It is refreshing to get a technical repair thread👍

Cannot believe its 4 years since i started this thread, seems a lot less than that for some strange reason.

Just realised that the got this wrong. Taylor, Cap, Hunch

That's about £22/metre. It's may or may not be cheap depending on the cost of stakes and binders, but it's not a micky take either. What you could do is go on the UK coppice products website below and see what the going rate is for stakes and binders in you area. You need 180 of each. I haven't bought any down south for four years since moving north but I imagine the days of a £1 a stick down there are long gone.

Very pleased with how Sailor’s come on as a guard. Pictured here watching over me while I cut some stakes. Pays attention to people walking by but no longer runs and barks at every one. IMG_6404.mov He however did run at and bark at Rich Rule’s South London mandem who delivered something in his DPD van earlier. Black kid. Came in the gate to knock on a door. I walked out of the garage to wang the ball for Sailor and we all spotted each other at the same time. Sheer terror on the kid’s face as Sailor’s look went from surprise to business. I shouted loudly, which made the kid try to climb a rosemary bush. Bosh. Dog straight back. Clicked my fingers and he laid down. Immaculate. No one need die today. Went and shook the kid’s hand (could feel his pulse through his palm) and called Sailor over. “Sick control, bruv!” High praise, coming from no doubt an experienced dog victim. Made my day.

When Russia can't repace men and equipment faster that they are lost , which is starting to happen now . 1.3 million Russian men killed , captured and wounded . They ( the Rusians ) are now rolling out obsolete kit . T72 tank being one of them .

Sounds like the quote I've had is reasonable (just under £2,000) but I'd like to see if can get a grant to help with the cost. I'm happy to pay a proportion of it

Hi Winky, I have a Tree Survey and TCP plan that were submitted for planning and the planners have highlighted that there are some discrepancies with the colours used on the plans being non compliant with BS.5837 Are you familiar with these British Standard colour requirements and could you simply change the colours for me on the plans? thanks KR Ray

Today, 24 February, is the 4th anniversary of this war. Now into the 5th year. When will it end?

Good afternoon guys looking for a bit of advice looking to find competitive price, who were people using? currently on with Trust but feel I need to shop around thanks in advanced. Have a good day.

Think you'll just find valleco just buy them from vallorbe, there are very few file making firms with Vallorbe Switzerland being one of the largest. Think last ones I bought were Husqvarna and a branded box full of Vallorbe turned up. Not sure about Stihl, but when you buy a artic trailers worth they'll change the branding or just put them in a Stihl box as I'm sure I've seen that.

Anyone worked out the difference yet? I just got a couple from MSC that were Vallorbe when I looked at them, Valleco when I paid for them and Vallorbe when they arrived. I have a horrible feeling that when whatever warehousing gremlin works itself out, we're going to be left with less good files that we had before. Way of the world. https://www.mscdirect.co.uk/valleco-8in-smooth-cut-flat-engineers-file-val-22008h?queryID=1a31f9205d33a7fa9c2fa9783e2cfbc5&objectID=329035&indexName=LIVE_default_products That's what I bought btw. Mustard on rakers. Way better than single cuts. Treat yourself.

I've never really learned how to tune a saw or hedgecutter that has a rev limiting coil, it's generally not been a problem as I tend to blip the throttle on the power stroke with the hedge cutter. I used to have a lot of problems with the Stih BT 45 power drills at work, they invariably came back with the exhaust caked in tarry oil where unburnt fuel had passed through when they were constantly held on the limiter.

Thanks very much for the info, no wonder it is 4 stroking at what I thought is a very low rpm, but if 4700 is the max rpm then that makes sense. I'll get it to do some work tomorrow as I have some paving slabs that want cutting up, I'll tach it up and see what it's doing. It's amazing what grief these concrete saws go through, but different abuse than saws generally. Filters never changed or cleaned seems to be the norm. This one had concrete dust above the piston in the cylinder, but surprisingly bore was not to worn and cleaned up ok, bottom end seems not to have suffered any ill effects and remarkably clean!

Had this one to get down the other week. Handily sheds built underneath it and the only way out was to rig everything down into the neighbours. Dry first day wet for the remaining two. Steep down some steps and steep down to the chipper.

Hi, I'm similar although I've probably no more than 15 old saws, thank feck😁 But I do have 2 K650's and 2 Stihl TS410's so if it's any help but I'd say they're designed not to rev out like a saw but just to reach a certain rev limit and then 4 stroke, probably to protect them from thick guy's on a building site. You said it yourself, put it through some stone, concrete or whatever and listen to the tone of the 4 stroking, you'll have heard it a thousand times ringing out from builders working near you and probably never thought about it... hedge trimmers are similar. To me the most important thing about them is that they start reliably with a couple of pulls hot or cold and tick over without stalling, I do quite a lot of stonework and it's very wearing on the wrist if this is not the case. Found this , so 4700 rpm.... Cheers.
