Woodmizer or similar for hire in Fife

[tomcorke]

Hello

 

I need to hire a wood mixer with or without operator for milling 180m2 of larch cladding on site.

 

Possibly want to use it as an exercise for my apprentices so will need full insurance and RA in place.

 

Let me know if anyone has any contacts

 

Thanks in advance

If you contact Woodmizer hq they can give you the number of there rep in your area who could then possibly put you in contact with the right people

Speak to Pol Bergius at Black Dog Timber - he is just outside Perth and is a top chap. Very experienced sawmiller too.

Is this work to be done before the end of 2015 or early 2016 ?

What is your spec on the cladding ?

Frank Gamwell is literally on your doorstep, Timberking and blades etc...

Fraser Robbs at Drymen have supplied Hud-son sawmills into the area...

Have you thought of buying a woodland mills unit or timbery M100...doing it yourselves...

Can always sell the mill on afterwards.. Always get a bit of consultancy from someone else to get you up and running...

180 square metres is a day's cutting. It's not worth buying a mill for that.

 

Frank Gamwell sadly died two years ago. I believe his daughter is still running the sharpening and blade retail side of things.

I will do Mark! He is another member of the Association of Scottish Hardwood Sawmillers. He did some milling for me before I got my own mill and has since done a bit of mobile work for me now and again.
