interesting method milling with the mini mill
Rob D replied to offgridchris's topic in Panther Mill UK
Good find Chris. I've started thinking more about quarter sawing.... today was planing some big oak boards and it was killing me moving them around and as they had distorted (but not much) half of it ended up as sawdust. Ref the mini mill I'm not sure I agree with him on that as I find it not as accurate as the horizontal mills and also harder work. And it is def not as accurate on big logs - that said really 25" bar should be the max you use. With a longer bar the flex causes the tip to wander. -
Pretty big gusts here at the moment and looking at the charts it's strong winds all the way to Saturday from now on! :scared1:
-
I don't think it matters too much.... just vented sides, open front and slanting roof. Oh and a few pallets to keep the wood off the ground!
-
I don't envy you - I gorged so much on conny bashing I'd not ever like to see another one again!
-
Good vid... I imagine you have to be be accurate in judging the weight of each section in a job like this.

I'd have not thought there would have been much of a market over here with the Forestry Journal and £5-00 does sound a bit steep.... I've not had one either

Play it to people twice then sing it all day and see how much they can take!

I dunno it seems to keep me going through the day! -
Me as well.... and all my deliveries are for repeat customers rather than new ones. There are a few in the paper mind you (around 13 people advertising locally)... Will be the first time I've not sold out before Chrimbo!

I wasn't hungover I'm a pale miserable looking sod on most days! I'll be there for 2012 as the headaches nearly all gone...

Thanks that was the idea to try and give a more realistic view of what the system actually does.

I'd forward this to around 3.30 as most of the first part discusses changing the bar over. Summary on powersharp : It works It doesn't cut as fast as normal chain You can still knacker the chain hitting stones or metal. Cutting out roots will also knacker the chain! (then takes 3 to 5 sharpens to get it cutting again and even then doesn't cut like it does new). More expensive than normal cross cut chain Really for home owners that don't know how to sharpen their own chain. Still nice to see a new concept and manufacturers bringing new ideas to the table.

Yes but just a couple though aye Justin (and see if you can't water them down a little... ). In fact maybe a half of Carlsberg would be better... loverly cold crisp Carlsberg Mark...

Sorry Simon I meant register on Chainsawbars ? bars, chains and chainsaw accessories So used to typing the alaskan site in I'll send you a PM as well.
-
Yes that's fine register on the site alaskan mill I home of the portable chainsaw mill and then send me an e-mail with nptc number.
-
If you've that sort of size Jon how about a mill to make some planks with? Must be some millable timber you have there.

Here's some pics of full chisel and semi chisel (although the manufacturers have slightly confused the issue by adding their own micro chisel which I think is somewhere in between the 2). I spent a long time putting together a chain manual to unravel the terms particularly Stihl have added to their chains in order to 'big them up' Crazy seeing as they prob make the best chain anyway.... why confuse everyone??!! For instance the word 'rapid' features in a lot of their chains.... why?? Why not also have sizzlingly amazingly super duper fast... http://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/media/documents/chain-info.pdf This gives profiles of all the main stihl and oregon chains and shows the difference in chisel and semi chisel.

Not really found the 880 wanders in the cut but mine mainly lives in the mill and I never look forward to taking it out as it's such a pain changing chains on a big bar..... Never used the 3120 but mainly because I've only ever heard bad things about them.... would like a go on one maybe one day just to compare.....

She looks off her head or maybe just boozed up but pretty shocking... Pig headed ignorance.... I wonder if she works or is on benefits and/or what her contribution to society is

Set the lawnmower down a notch? Sorry not helpful.... I'm ignorant of fungi but these won't last long will they? And they're not hurting the lawn it's just cosmetic for a week or 2.
