taking the LT40 to the max at the week end! takes some handling that size, 1 cut length longer than the bed, thinking outside the box

we were a bit surprised when we arrived on site and saw the size of em!, made me remember how good it is milling big sticks with the trekkasaw, was impressed with how the LT40 coped but as with you looking to have capacity to cut wider and deeper:001_smile:

People are amazed at the size of some of the trees we get through but having one pillar means you can squeeze them in there

Agreed also but if you have no chainsaw mill you can skim a bit turn skim a bit etc till you can take some big chunks out.

We use quite a few big trees for orders where we have a lot of beams one size but needs and demand determi w how you mill your timber. And what orders etc

Found a spare 15mins this evening so milled up the piece of plum from Nepia. 3' long, 14" across at the widest point. Still looking for more plum/damson/blackthorn/prunus pissardi if anyone happens across some.

Is that with the new bands on the ripsaw alec? Looks a lovely finish.

It is indeed the new bands. To be honest the finish usually comes out like that, it's just that some of the bands tend to follow the grain and give a wavy surface rather than flat. If you tension them enough to stop it, they snap at the weld. This was with the first of the new bands and although the surface area cut so far isn't that large, it's cutting true and hasn't snapped, so all good so far. Will be a real test when it starts ripping through long lengths of elm.

I've had this piece of holly in my yard for ages, we found it on a clearance site two years ago and it was already on the deck and looked solid. Am going to make a table from it hopefully.
