Not quite as impressive a picture as some of you post, but my back thinks it’s very impressive! That’s a ten tonne farm trailer three quarters full of chippings. The house now has loads more natural light, doesn’t seem hemmed in, and hopefully will sell better.

Ever tried Niwaki?

My Grandfather shared your sentiment Mark. Even went so far as to light sugarcane fields to flush them out.

It is quite therapeutic cutting the hovering bastards in half with a sharp pair of Felcos.

These were European. Shame they had to go really, they aren’t usually a problem. Asian ones are a different matter, apparently they can kill up to 50 bees every day! I’d destroy those bastards without a thought.

I did receive some guidance, training and experience with the m8. Quite impressive. So I bought an F2 with extensions. My forest is an hour walk from my house. Loved setting up my lumber camp, dialing in and adjusting my lumber mill. Then I encountered problems. Like the plastic guiding rails for the sled. Or the fine adjustment of the log lifter. I did ask logosl. The response from customer support has been anything but welcoming or apologetic. More accusative. I can now cut imprecise and insecure. That is my takeaway. So good on logosol, taking away the enjoyment of cutting down slow grown 70 year old Norwegian spruce to fix up my barn. I've already decided to sell the chainsaw mill. I will acquire a band saw mill and continue with my project, but I want to feel relatively safe. Consider this as a reaction to a horrible customer support and a general safety concern which has not been taken seriously.

Fairly strong nightmare fuel.

And.... I have always wanted a new F2 and so if they are a bit unworthy...I'll stick with my Panther Chainsawmill. 👍

alles ist gut. Understood. Safety is No1. I have had no cause to question my Mill or its engineering before. Both were second hand ( not new) where yours does look new. I would be asking my dealer this question.

Yes, it was a strange first meeting at this forum. I do appreciate your apology. Pardon me for my latest reply.

my neighbor ask me if I could teach his missus how to start a chainsaw, of course I agreed, but she hasn't quite got the hang of it yet,,, I've asked her to come back tomorrow for another lesson.

I understand. Since its chainsaw mill I should expect and accept offsets of the parts necessary to assemble this mill carrying a 91,1cc 5,4kW chainsaw. If 6 machine screws are the nominal value, why shouldn't 5 screws to the trick. Good on you, laughing at a legitimate safety concern.

Apologies I might have been unduly harsh. I have not had any issue with nuts bolts of hex sockets on any of the mills I have or had.

Ok.

Hello Bot I have owned and used a Logosol M8 and have a big mill. Both produced timber of suitable quality. It IS NOT a BANDSAW and and cannot be compared as such. Quality is extremely high in comparison to other offerings from the far east.

Danny's funeral was hard, I've an emotional streak that surfaces easily! I can be hard nosed and tough at times but tearful at some stuff. His widow and two daughters plus myself and other SIL, met the hearse, had the harrowing view of them touching the coffin etc and really had to think of other stuff to halt me from breaking down. The walk into the church in front of the coffin in front of 250 plus people was tough. His grandson, Joe, read "If" by Rudyard Kipling with great dignity and the graveside thing was heartbreaking too. Wake across the road in the local was good with decent food etc and several pints and a laugh with a few other folk was fun but the day seems empty now!

I was working at a house just down the road from me last week. The owner keeps bees, has 15 hives and has a wild bee hive in his barn wall, which was where we were having lunch. The bees were being predated by Asian Hornets, the bastards hover at the entrance and snatch the poor drones as they leave the nest, clip off their wings and carry them off to their young. They are pretty aggressive in comparison to the European relatives which are pretty passive, and I have clear felled whole blocks of Sweetchestnut around nests in the past, even climbed past nests without issue, felling the tree would get proper on their tits though, he is a lucky boy.

Still don't make up for a under par production quality of the saw sled and machine screws. By the way, it's not really possible to set up precisely if you're on your own. The advertisement showing an ultra portable and easy set up is false. It takes a lot of time and helping hands. All in all, the quality of the simplest components make me feel unsafe using this sawmill alone in the woods!

see, the last one is what we are looking for - keep them coming

I disturbed some with a leaf blower while on the roof of mum and dad's house earlier this year. Was tied on to the chimney. Had to start thinking along the lines of unclipping so I could jump down onto the patio if needed. Massively unfunny.

I know! Could have been a lot worse.

I take it all back, rib tickling stuff!

Your mate was lucky.
