I mean is getting your blades sharpened.  Do you get them back quite fast?

Within the week.

Always best to have more then one set of blades (more then 10)

Anyone had problems with bands going dull after a few cuts ‘ cutting larch ?

If the logs aren't clean as in there's mud on the bark that'll be enough to dull the blade quickly.

Cheers.  

 

I must have over 15 blades.  Sending 7 to be sharpened, have three new ready to rock and a bunch of Bacho blades that are pish, but sharp. Ive a couple of jobs on next week. Oak and Elm and I doubt 3 will do me.

I was burning through a blade in 5 hours with dirty logs.

Send them back in the box they arrived in with metal clip holding them the same way, don't put any pallet wrap on the box otherwise you'll be charged more for shipping.

Its in the original box with the clip and metal wrap. And a bunch of cable ties as it was a bugger to get all 7 secured neatly without them.  

 

Ive just used Parcel2go and its shipping via Parcelfarce. 

 

Who charges more for shipping if I use pallet wrap? 

[Forest2Furniture]

All of them, I use parcel2go and they are all saying the item has to be in a cardboard box, I sent some blades back last year in the box but secured it with pallet wrap and was charged an extra £8 once it was delivered. 

Check the t&c's
