084av max bar lenth

[liamjordan]

i totally agree with agg221, thats one of the problems with running older saws, part avalibilty!

 

I love using my 166, but it is a pretty rare saw so i dont really want to wear it out! Havent looked but i bet a pot and piston would be a hell of a lot!

 

we use an 070AV, a 153 and a 166 with 3ft and 4ft bars, for splitting down oak butts to fit on the band saw, its amazing really what you can do with a 3ft bar

 

not meaning to derail the thread too much but take a look at these thread of what me and grandad can do with slightly smaller bars

The double milling set ups work really well... when they're working.

 

But it's fiddly setting up, then what can happen is one saw won't start and then the cursing begins!

 

They still make the 076 for sale in South America but I can't find anyway of getting them over here.

[josharb87]

have you done any milling yet?

[yewhunter18]

Abit with somone else little saw and Alaskan and loved it

If you're passing my way in the nearish future (I gather you may be, given your interest in the yew on the other thread) and fancy a go at something of reasonable size, give me a shout, as I have a decent size oak butt (approx 3ft x 14ft long) to break down. It'll probably be the 066M, or I might have got suitable bar-chain combination together to give the 076 another run. You're also welcome to a play with the Ripsaw at the same time if you feel so inclined.

Cheers Alec witch yew are we on about there free stuff near London ? And that would be absoulobly awsome

[agg221]

Yes the stuff near London (assuming you get it) and it's near London in a relative sense to you - Bedford way I think. the trees I'm currently doing are near the M11, Duxford Junction, so quite convenient to get from one to the other.
