Anybody want a contact for a milling job in Sutton, Cambs. Couple of smallish cedar. Good access.

They are happy to pay in excess of £600.

I quoted then £635 plus travel but havent really got time to do it and it's not local.

Let me know if interested

My milling rate is £630 a day. I don't do part days. So a couple of small sticks like that gets expensive.
Same cost to mill two 20' by 4' cedar if I can do it in a day.

I paid £350 a day for man and woodmizer for a day on-site.

There’s a middle ground I’d say, £350 is way too cheap for a man and woodmizer for a day, £635 is on the upper end of things but justifiable if the mill is top of the range high production  eqpt. I can think of more enjoyable things to do for a day, admittedly it does have its plus points but can also be bloody hard and frustrating graft.

I was thinking around £450 plus band charges. 
 

I run a lot of gear as many of you know, and my reckoning is it’s good to be diverse and have a multitude of things that can make you that money as a wage each day in case more lucrative quoted jobs are short on the ground or you just fancy an easy week. Stops me getting bored. 
 

Just need to make it the next four years so the finance is paid off 🤣
