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.

Yes that would be a test alright, keep wanting to test my mills in this way, but nobody's obliging enough to supply the elm.

quick question, once milled, how to you stop each board from splitting while there drying?

not really anything great but milled some chestnut that my mate

he wants to use as 4x4 posts for a outside table and some 2in slabs to cut up for 2x4 for the under side of the table

I believe he is going put walnut or elm on the top so be interesting to see once done

Was given another plum tree by Steve (se7enthdevil)'s sister. Standing dead Victoria, felled this morning, milled this afternoon. If anyone is taking down any more plum/damson/blackthorn/pissardi etc please let me know - I have two wardrobes to make
