NGK - I class them as an item to be replaced frequently. It is my first action for a troublesome saw. We are, however, having more issues with the top coming off so I am looking at other options at the moment

How much do you earn as an employee
Pete Mctree replied to chrisgilltreesurgery's topic in General chat
20k if you want the top drawer -
I like synthetic - easy to handle, light & even floats. Super strong but obviously not as abrasion resistant. Decision down to frequency of use & care

Timberwolf still sell flawed chippers. There reluctance to fix the rotar bearing issue - only saying that they should be replaced frequently at the owners cost in both downtime & hard cash, shows a non progressive & a refusal to fix what customers request. They did produce good chippers.......

I have had one for over a year now. Very impressed as it performs consistently & kicks out far more heat than you imagine

Chainsaw refresher course, who should foot the bill?
Pete Mctree replied to mikecotterill's topic in General chat
The issue of updates will only be relevant post accident or incident. The investigators (either insurance , HSE or both) will have plenty to say if they are not in place. It can easily be done by either a days training or achievement of further units. Not bad every 5 years compared to a lot of industries -
The old VW at Castlemorton, hope you weren't the one with the deep cut on the foot...that was messy for me, and I was quite battle hardened by then:001_smile: Nice derail... Was one of the few not at castlemorton:lol:. Nice old vdub

Hope it works for you

Fun & wrestling with Bear

After doing similar with the 1st one, I have only done the exhaust mod. Best gains by far (& they sound fantastic )

Do you find a difference in performance ? Never used anything but NGK

Any help/tips/advice for working on a leaning pole?
Pete Mctree replied to will.morris's topic in Climbers talk
I would also avoid Working below the stem. Lifting a knee & bracing yourself against your strop with it can help -
Race you

if he chooses to buy husky does he have local dealer support?
-
I would use a fishermans or similar cinching knot over a bowline or fig 8. Helps keep the krab orientated correctly, reducing the chance of side loading & is just tidier.

Bad news Ian. Sorry to hear
-
It's 11.7mm Peter.Was looking for bigger, but it is my choice at the moment
-
It's not CE marked yet so they are not going to stock it (I phoned the other day) Looks like a choice of imori or a 11.7mm line
-
Not going anywhere at this rate.......
-
There is a difference Josh. Ian's cut (which i also use ) undercuts the face cut, allowing the piece to go of it's own accord if it can & makes sure the saw does not get pulled. Same principal

I have done a little crane work & I don't think it is a crane signal. I'm glad you are willing to discuss the signals. I am by no means saying I am right, I am just interested in developing such things. Thanks, Pete
-
We have no formal signals, however there has developed - over time a common series of signals. Stop, for example is one (or two ) arms outstretched palms facing the target person. During roadside work, a climber, after indicating a readiness to do so, will wait until the groundy lowers there hand to cut - the removal of the stop sign indicating go. This is often accompanied by a thumbs up, eye contact & a positive nod of the head. The thumbs-up is universal & seems much more natural than arms outstretched (would be difficult to repeat consistently for me). I think such signals are too easy to over analyse, when what would be more important to emphasize is good positive body language by the signaler.
