Yep it's all here Mat! https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product-category/panther-chainsaw-mills/ I can't wait to start putting it through it's paces.. will be a week or so before I have time.

Yep but only really x4 large wedges. I just haven't had time to do it yet but this mill will be an excellent re saw and you may even be able to use it to plane or get dry wood flat....

Nicely put together review of the Panther 42" Chainsaw mill.

Has taken umpteen hours and a lot of work to complete this mill but it will be ground breaking. Crazy ease of use and accuracy - nothing else like it on the market. This is all brand new but this saw will be able to be used for more than just sawing logs. Designed for 50cc to 70cc saws it seems a little fiddly to set up to start with but once in use you should hopefully see the advantages. 90cc saws will be very quick cutting - and due to how the bar bolts to the upright it could be possible to use a 30" stiff bar such as a Sugi on this to give a massive 25" cutting width. 50cc will be 20" bar max for 15" cutting width 60-70cc can use a 25" bar to get 20" cutting width. You can also use this just as a vertical cutting mill on big logs. Likely you could even mill oversize logs with a smaller chainsaw as well as there is no need for the tip of the bar to clear the log. That in itself is groundbreaking. A long and to be fair boring video which is more for those who actually buy the set up. We'll have these at an intro price at the APF along with other bargains to be found at FR Jones stand [yep I forgot to post this before the APF doh!]

Ok have reminded them to bring but all hell has broken loose trying to get organised for the show!!

Yep - we'll be selling them through Sorbus - they will have a few there but not many - maybe we take more of the Panther mini bars!

Thanks for the pics Bill - that bar still looks really good on the body. The bar body and rails go through different heat and cooling processes to make them harder - Sugi manage the hardest rails but the price to pay is if they get heated they are more likely to chip.

Welcome to the forum - we'd be interested in looking to stock the Log Jack as we are currently missing any sort of log rolling tools from our inventory. Feel free to get in touch. Rob

Yep I've been using them for a while - but as you jack the log up I've always found it tends to fall over one way. They say the base on these is different and stops it from rolling sideways but it doesn't look enough to stop it from doing this.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOREST-MASTER-TIMBER-JACK-TREE-PUSHER-LOG-LIFTER-SAW-HORSE-FELLING-BAR-3-TON/122280226261?epid=2115778871&hash=item1c78782dd5:g:g3cAAOSwo4pYXPwH#rwid Often thought this would work well - but what stops the log from falling over to one side as you are lifting it?

Yep well it is on the list of things to do... but a few lones down!

I think the tool itself comes out of the factory slightly different perhaps. Mine seems pretty good. But you may have to adjust the backstop in or out a fraction as you change from one side to the other.

You're doing a great job Joe ? As said the whole idea with this grinder is you rotate the grinder without the need to 'undo' anything. It's the best on the bar sharpener out there in my opinion but it is far from perfect. Sometimes you do need to tweak it from one side to the other. Knock any burr off the chain by stroking a bit of wood up the chain and in line with. But no need to reverse the croc clips. Have a look at this vid here although I position it incorrectly it still works...

I got one - it seems fine! But it had a K095 mount which means it's harder to put longer bars on. We have our new Panther Intersect coming soon which would go really well with this budget 62cc saw. Because the saw is held in the guide I reckon you'll be able to slab pretty large trees with this...

Oh Matron....! ??

How much would you have to put up your prices to stay in the business? 30%? 40%? It just seems like you have decided that your customers will not pay more - why not let your customers decide if they will pay more or not... you may be pleasantly surprised. If it works all good - if it doesn't you are no worse off than you are now. But it may work...

Yep will do what chain type for the 20" and semi chisel or chisel for the 28"?

Yes they do and we have the 1/4 sprocket for the 360TES here https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product/echo-cs-360wes-cs-361wes-1-4-carving-sprocket-175007-39233/ We'll have to put the prices up on the sprockets soonish...

Yep I reckon so

Haha! We were always going to have the wheels but of course if others say the same it helps keep us on the same line. We have none in actual production yet but will be very soon.

'ow many you want!! We need to shift quantity - so are doing some silly deals on a clutch of bars for that saw... I wish we'd never got any Echo bars in as it just seems too few are using the larger saws... just no demand so once these are down to the last few we will remove the sale and will not be getting more in. https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product-category/special-offers/

Cheers

Nope sorry that is one of our most popular bars I'm afraid... Any of these take your fancy - will have to double check stock but if you want a few bars we can do even better prices. It's more about shifting quantity on this sale as we have run out of space and we have new imports due in...

Ok we have put all the deals in the special offers area here - some genuine real bargains to be had. If you want more bars than let us know and we will discount further. https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product-category/special-offers/

It is a 620SX - yes we are removing the clamping handle so then it can gain another 2" of cut length. Max cut length is 20" on a 25" bar. If on a 20" bar it would be 15". The mill is effortless to use and you'll be able to slab the whole tree without having to move a plank (you slab from the bottom up rather than top down).
