todays little project

[wisewood]

It's to be a bit of an all rounder really. I've a ripping chain for the big bar, so do a little freehand squaring up for carving, but will mostly have it on an 18" for blocking out.

I've a long to get list, milling attachment being one of them, just need to make and sell more to fund it:001_smile:

Where's yours leaking from? Mine doesn't leak round the screw thread, but it does leak through the breather in the cap if it's not pointing the right way. The breather hole sticks out of the side of the knob and you have to screw it in so it's pointing upwards. Other option is to only fill so it doesn't come up to the cap when turned on its side - it's easy enough to refill in the cut with a funnel if you do long stuff.

Si, probably better off leaving the dogs on then most of the time, but you might want to know they're free enough to get off if you have to. I've taken them off mine before to get the extra couple of inches. The sprocket, mill frame and dogs together mean you only get about 27.5" max through the cut on a 36" bar and it gets annoying hacking the sides off of a 30" log!
