Well I think it sounds like you want to have a bit of a rant and why not! Doesn't do any good to hold it in. Firstly on the Granberg chain the scoring cutters are made from mechanically grinding down normal cutters to reduce the width. Now sometimes this means that part of the cutter gets heated and hard. Why not take longer to grind them? Or use a better machine that doesn't harden the tooth? - because the price would be more and then people would complain about that (granberg is the most expensive ripping chain to buy). So these scoring cutters can be very hard on hand files. The 12volt granberg grinders will sharpen them no problem. But if you're really adamant that it's no use send it back to me and I'll replace it with an Oregon or Stihl ripping chain equivalent. Can't really say fairer than that!

Many thanks for taking the time to do this Andrew. Have also sent a PM, Rob

Nice!

Actually.... Just seen this on ebay... PISTON ASSEMBLY COMPATIBLE WITH STIHL 084 088 MS880 | eBay For that money has to be worth a crack. Perhaps ask someone like spudulike how much it would be to fit.
-
I mill a lot of things others wouldn't - and on the whole have regretted it!! I'd not mill that as beech gets lots of soft bits in that look bad... firewood I'm afraid!
-
Personally I would buy a new one and either sell this one to offset the cost or keep for spares. The 880 is a good saw but I'm not convinced that any of Stihls saws go on for more than a few years. Up to 2 years - usually no problems. After this then you tend to get niggles i.e. not idling, not starting.... Yet there are still plenty of the older style saws all the 024, 088 etc that still go on for years.

Any chance of some pics? You may be able to tempt someone in!

Sounds good as long as not too much shake in the butt.... I'd have a crack but it's just a bit too far.....
-
It's £45 to arbtalkers and is here alaskan mill I home of the portable chainsaw mill I'm a little biased here but I wouldn't be selling them if they were no good.
-
I think after 3 months firm action is needed. You can fill in the small claims form. It costs you £30 (ish been a while since I did one). The courts will then contact them with the summons. They can reply why they did not pay and this is then copied to you. Or they may pay up. But you'll be harder pressed to prove anything without any initial paperwork. Do you have any invoices towards the job? Pictures of you doing it? Other witnesses that saw you do it? What happens if they say you never completed it to satisfaction? It's the above or put it down to hard experience....

These are good [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG-tdr3X2s0]Precision Grinder.wmv - YouTube[/ame] And you get 10% off with arbtalk.

Ah I see what you mean! Sorry have not got round to sending pics You could use the mini mill for this free hand (without the rail) and a long carving bar to get a more curvey curve.
-
It's a great idea but managed fine with a stick for 10 years but I can see how it would come in handy.
-
Nice Bart. They do make a lovely piece of hanging art
-
Bear in mind you'll have to do all the splitting next year and sell for next season as there's no way that wood will be burning this year. In the meantime where will you store it etc. ? Making something out of it i.e. posts and rails - great but you then need to sell it to someone... I'd be careful about venturing into something like this. Or at least re negotiate terms. Also he must be very trusting - how will he know how many loads you've sold and how much you're getting for it?

Cheers Andrew. Or send a disc to: Robert Dyer Silver Street Garden Machinery Hordle Hampshire SO416DG
-
Navara problems - anyone else any experience with them?
Rob D replied to Big J's topic in Arb-Trucks
Well you've def put me off ever getting one! What a nightmare and brand new.... hope you get it sorted. -
Just get in there and start pricing....
-
Yes angle grinder type sanders are the way for rapid removal of material. Great original table.... you going to try and sell it? I've just ordered a dewalt angle grinder that will take the 4.5" velcro discs that has a speed control. Those fibre discs are fine on full speed angle grinders but they burn the grain as you go to 120 grit above.
-
That Farmi looks good. What size diameter does it take and how well does in cope with bendy branches? I like the fact it is self powered.
-
Some good original ideas there
-
Looks excellent concept but ditto needs something there. Not so bad when you start with a long branch but the last couple of cuts - that's too sketchy as it stands. Trouble is when you get tired, it's raining.... But like it!
-
Looks perfect for the job. Where are you in County Sligo? My mum was born Carrick Banner (I think it's spelt) and I've been over in younger days surfing Bundoran... great fun!
-
Nice Andrew and thanks for posting. Any chance you could e-mail me the pics to [email protected] so I can use on my website? Also some pics of the final mantlepiece in position!
-
Like the way you put the vid together - very original
