No prob Ben and don't worry I often don't see posts for a while!

Thanks for the replies. Hmmm... May not have worded this thread that well as people seem to have interpreted this as me knocking the drivers - far from it. It is the company policies and the back up when things go wrong I was knocking... Ref the incident with Royal Mail - their policy is that if the parcel is not lost then there is nothing you can do for 30 days. But you can't tell a customer to 'wait 30 days and then if you don't have it we'll send another'. We would send another - wait - if the customer ends up getting both parcels - ask them to send the 2nd back [and refund them for doing so]. And then go through the 'purposefully' time consuming process of trying to claim costs back.

Officially complaining and be met with a barrage of - 'we are so sorry this happened, rest assured we will do everything in our power to rectify this situation'. ...But actually that is not true is it?!

Just come off the phone to Royal Mail [after being on hold 10 minutes of course]. Parcel to Denmark - sent on the 7th December - seems like it went to the USA - then got re routed to Jordan! I get that things go wrong when we send things - but I don't understand how the courier companies can get away with the lack of follow up. In this instance the advice was 'wait until the 9th January and then if it still has not arrived send another and claim compensation'. It seems that it is an industry where as a customer you bear the time and cost of the other party making the mistake... and if you complain you get 'any idea how many millions of parcels we deal with this time of year?'

Haha well there are improvements being made all the time!

Could it be this nonsense was started on purpose to weaken our society?

I'm wondering when they will ban Champayne! "Yes, people are killed by flying Champagne corks! Latest big news in this area was Dingxiang Loeng, Chinese business man, who was killed after being hit on the temple with a cork from a bottle of Champagne. Approx two dozen people are killed by Champagne corks each year with weddings the most common place this happens."

Yep check the bar/drive sprocket and chain - post close up pics on here... if the sprocket is badly worn it can damage the drive links - could be an issue.. though not sure why it would cause the chain to get tighter. I don't think there is any way of the bar moving forward once you have tightened the side casing.

If you put in Jonsered 625 here all these bars should fit www.chainsawbars.co.uk For chains click the bar and scroll down. PS check your drive rim/drive sprocket for wear before fitting a new bar and chain SPROCKET CARE - Chainsawbars WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK

Yep the tough part is when someone is determined to blame the gear ie. bar or chain - it can never ever be them. My opinion is - there is a chance it's the gear or there's a chance it's you. It's so counterproductive to buy a new bar and chain and then run that with a worn sprocket - such a waste of $$

It's the oregon maintenance manual http://en.oregonproducts.com/pro/pdf/maintenance_manual/ms_manual.pdf

And I fully admit when I was full time on the tools I was one of the worst offenders!! Esp hedge reduction and having the chain de rail... I'd just get it back on there and run it until it cut again. I think fair enough - but when you do come to replace stuff replace it together.

It keeps cropping up - folks tend to buy a new chain when it stops cutting or it is worn out, a new bar when the same happens or fancy a change - and a new drive rim/sprocket rarely. If you buy a new bar and are in doubt - change the drive rim + don't use old chains on a new bar - even if 'only got it a few days ago' or 'the saw is new'. A used rim wears the chain which wears the bar. Together they all wear together - buy a new bar and run an old rim/sprocket and old chain likely you will wear the bar inside the rails and on the rail surface, much faster. If you have to - keep an old chain for when the bar is 6 months or so + then it's not so important. But with the high spec Sugi/Tsumura/Cannon bars the tolerances are tight - a slightly burred chain [on the drive links] will quickly gouge out your new bar and cause overheating to boot. It's a negative saving. Sometimes a chain will de rail - and often this really burrs up the drive links - putting this on and using an stump to force the chain to start turning then revving the saw to get it running is going to knacker that bar and drive sprocket rapidly. And then put a new bar on - you will wear that bar out x5 as quickly! You're better off running things longer and then changing everything together than replacing things one at a time.

It's basically the Panther Intersect Mill - and that's it - not other bits required [although you would want another Panther Intersect body to do what I've done above] Panther Intersect Mills - Chainsawbars WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK

You should be making enough $$ not to make it too big a decision as to what fuel you use. If in doubt turn to firewood - milling is tough demanding expensive work - only mill the stuff that gives you real pleasure or cash. My opinion only.

Yep I think you could cut hexagonal pretty easily - but I suppose it may be easier to make something that holds a post at a 45 degree angle and then you rotate the post in this 'holder'.

It seems to change the thinner the chain - the 1/4 .043 picco chain gives a pretty smooth cut even though it is at 25/30 degrees [I forget which] so the thinner the chain the less difference it makes. Like everything more than one way to go - the Oregon 91vxl is not a ripping chain but it seems to work amazingly well when performing vertical cuts.

Am starting to experiment using the Panther Intersect more as wood working tools rather than planking - and it works really well especially for re sawing. It should be pretty easy to set things so you can slide the height up and down for the vertical side. You can see if you pinned the Panther large end brackets differently you could adjust the angle of cut.

It doesn't but when you buy reels of chain they come with plenty of joining rivets and tie straps.

Haha yep - but imagine the ridicule he has endured! Also imagine that 50% of what he says is total nonsense - but 50% of what he says may well be true..... that's 50% more than most politicians

Fair point - I'm going to nail my colours to 'I don't know how much of global warming is to do with us human beings and how much to do with a natural cycle of the planet' - best I can do! There are so many conflicting arguments the whole topic is a mess! The way I see it if climate change is real and down to us I am part of the problem, pollution is real and is definitely down to us - I am part of that problem as well and will continue to be so... I fly to go on holiday, I drive a diesel car, I use more resources than most on the planet and will likely continue to do so for the short term.
