Advice needed from CS100 owners

[Wolfie]

Just changed the blades on my Greenmech CS100 minichipper.

Trashed a few blade bolts getting them off so need to know where people get their bolts from?

And also

Who to use to resharpen the blades? I use rotatech(SaturnMK) for my timberwolf blades but i have not been happy with a couple of sets that have come back recently and i hear that the angle on the cs100 blades needs on be spot on.

Greenmech do the bolts

[Wolfie]

Yeah, did try a couple of GM dealers; first one wouldn't even pick up their phone, the second would have to charge me £15 p&p - on a few bolts!

I got mine from Arbtec at Durham. They're a Greenmech dealer and were spot on to deal with.

 

Can't remember cost or postage so can't help you on that one.

I should say "go back to your dealer", look in the yellow pages and go to your nearest "fastener supplier" for the bolts....Blades should be done by someone you trust, your nearest GreenMech dealer.....

Very tight. I know £15 isn't much, it was just the principle that postage was three times as much as the goods.

I'm ok at the moment as Jonsie sent me the last of what he had, so just enquiring for future needs really.

You know, I rather thought the bolt prices tended to err towards the 'exhorbitant' as the mature cheddar they are made of was cheaper at Tescos.... BUT...I earned more when I had bolts of cheese than without:thumbup1:

so I swallowed the costs and bought mature cheese bolts and kept making money.

The CS100 has done 1 hour in 36 since the Quadchip came along but as it has already paid for its cheese bolts we will keep it for those jobs that require a machine as special as the CS100.

Its a great tool and I'm loath to part with it!
