  1. Past hour
  2. Value for money, possibly?
  3. Try looking at a few of the YouTube vids, the guys on there test all sorts and compare power outputs and check the metal debris in the oil etc. I have Loncins on a Rover mower and chipper, both have been fine for me.
  4. Looks like the standard carb to me, I don't think I have ever seen a copy, probably too difficult to manufacture cheaply.
  5. Today
  6. Have to love customers like that. Fortunately I was pretty lucky and had very few like this👍
  7. I bought the same machine from Agri-Euro for €1372 inc. tax and delivery. Originally for a 3 day zero parking and nightmare access garden thrash in a medieval town. It saved our business thousands in hire costs during my Vanguard Efi woes in the dark days of COVID. It's not as smooth to feed compared to a CS100 being narrower and the infeed having a ledge and protruding bolt ends. I lent it to a colleague who has now bought a Jansen wee chippette of similar design. Better finish and paint he reports but over a grand more. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYTJsdI1-E/?igsh=MW1lZzNnZWExbG1mMw==
  8. Over here I've seen it called Irish Mahogany, but that's nativism for you. Can you expand on your comment about types of mahogany?
  9. And it spalts beautifully. This is a bowl Mrs Ed made.
  10. Think it was jo beau , and dare I say it redditch's finest chipper !
  11. Nope , pure aspen , found out factory carb was missing gaskets, but the second carb still made it run rough .sold it in the end as I cant be done with crap machinery.
  12. Alder aka Scotch mahogany as it takes stain very well and can be used to make a passable replacement for mahogany (of some types). I have used it for some cabinet work and quite like it. Easy to work but the wood beetle likes it.
  13. Had it been run on pump fuel prior to this ?
  14. Fender solid body electric guitars were made from Alder in their thousands . It was when they ran out of swamp Ash .
  15. But not -always- expensive: the Hyundai/Chinesium ones are about £20- each, reversible. Although £120- each, for the Cheese biscuit blades(?) on muggin's Forest Master Chineseium chipper (Epic fail -see Small chipper thread). 🫣
  16. Dutch ones may have been willow but cloggies working man's ones were alder with segs in the bottom and leather uppers.
  17. A munter can be put on most biners, yes, but most smaller ones not fit two or more which is often required in rock climbing. HMS indicates its suitable for two or more clove hitches. There are plenty of symmertical ones. An example HMS Classic Auto Block - hms carabiner with sleeve - KONG WWW.KONG.IT Aluminium connector with 3 actions Auto Block sleeve and Keylock system It has nothing to do with the shape of the rope basket.
  18. ^from the comments Cliff R.8h "Drunk husband still beating his ex wife"
  19. THE EU IS A DISASTER... | Alan Adams | 58 comments WWW.LINKEDIN.COM THE EU IS A DISASTER... | 58 comments on LinkedIn Well it certainly contained a few home truths, probably not went down with well with TDS or Leftarditis sufferers mind
  20. It's true, talking to people in the engineering world the Chinese have made so much investment in everything from education to automation and factory infrastructure that they undoubtedly can make good stuff, or if we want it cheap they can make it cheap.
  21. Well…strictly speaking, it’s not is it? Reading this thread it is an abbreviation of the German word. If people assumed (wrongly) that it stood for something else it doesn’t change anything.
  22. Yes , only 12 volts on the forward Herschmann plug when 'rollers on' speed is reached.
  23. I’ve clean the plug but it was already spotless,is there a switch on the stop bar that could cause a problem , also the display read rollers on as it should , should there be 12v at the hershman plug only when chipping speed is reached? I appreciate your help on your day off 👍
  24. Ok , when you have the Bulgin plug separated look carefully at each plug , there is a castellated nut with four raised lands around the outside of the pins , carefully using a small screwdriver , loosen these nuts (if you're careful you can fully unscrew and remove them) and then invert the plug so the pins are facing downwards and attempt to waggle the pin portion of the plug to see if there's water there ? The continuity test i previously attached needs to test out correctly or the problem is from the plug back to the control box. If you have an airline then I would suggest blowing out the plugs or alternatively you could use contact cleaner spray.
  25. Spoon and bowl carvers rate it. Clogs are made from willow mostly.
