  7. Nice work Tony - you seem to be getting some good milling done at the moment
  8. In this case I would not go Stihl! The 47" Duromatic bar is a relic from the past and causes all sorts of issues with oiling and heat on the MS880. Their 36" and 59" bars are good though...
  9. I don't think there such a thing as cheap long bars. The best priced is the Sugihara 46" bar as per here. SG6T-3S115-A 46" Sugihara Pro Solid Bar For Stihl 050, 051, 070, 075, 076, 08, 090, 088, MS880 Part Number SG6T-3S115-A - Alaskan Mill ? Mobile Chainsaw Mills
  10. We can't get those metal detectors anymore and now and then I'll have a scan about for another option but have yet to find anything that works well yet. You need something that is calibrated for wood and that is not too big and cumbersome.
  11. We now have full skip .404 .063 semi chisel 27AX Oregon Full Skip Semi Chisel .404 .063 - Chainsawbars Full skip chisel 3/8 .063 75JGX Oregon Full Skip Chisel Chain 3/8 .063 - Chainsawbars Full skip chisel 3/8 .058 73JGX Oregon Full Skip Chisel Chain 3/8 .058 - Chainsawbars Be careful of modifying existing chains with a grinder - it can weaken the chain on that cutter. I snapped a couple in the early days doing this...
  12. <p>It won't let me post the quote! What is your mobile number and are you on whatsapp?</p>

    <p>Hi Mikkel – sorry late reply - you want the 60" double ended bar and a 48" Alaskan mill.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p> Also I would stick to the normal clamps for double ended milling as you need the extra force to grip the uprights (but have added so you can see the price).</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p> I would also get an extra handle and cast bracket.</p>

     

  14.  

    <p>I replied to your e-mail Mikkel - maybe that's what happened before.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Ok I will send as PM - but can you e-mail me on <a href="mailto:" rel="">[email protected]</a> and I will also reply on there</p>

     

  15. <p>Apologies - I have just found that - I think before I got halfway through answering it before getting distracted as I can remember seeing it before. If you check your e-mail inbox in 10 minutes <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

  16. You may find after the first sharpen that this does not repeat. So difficult to get answers sometimes - we assume that all things like chains and chainsaws are made equally - but they must come out of the factory with slight differences.

    Tiny echo!

    It could just be the chain tension just needed tweaking up a tad. I know you checked before you used but I think the Sugi chain is more prone to stretch than the Stihl and you only need it just to come off correct tension to be flung on the twiggy stuff you were cutting. Folk are divided on which set up they prefer - it seems some prefer the Stihl bar and chain - some the Sugi bar and chain. I have found the Sugi is a lot better after it's first sharpen and is more aggressive in the cut. More 'chattery' than the Stihl. It's easier to sharpen. But the Stihl is better cutting straight out of the box, smoother cutting, less stretch but a pain to sharpen.

    That doesn't sound good - and this is with the 2511? I've been using on the ground with a MS192 and had no issues... But I don't expect I use it as much as you fellows.
  19. What gauge is that chain in? And what type Oregon or Stihl?
  20. To my knowledge we are one of very few companies looking at putting narrower kerf bars on larger saws. And also narrow kerf bars for smaller saws. We have a full range of GB bars (OK you will need a spacer for Husky saws but we have those as well) inc 20", 24",30", 36", 42", 48" that will take 3/8" Lo Pro chain. But this is mainly for chainsaw milling - as bear in mind there is a compromise in using a narrow kerf bar. Bar is physically thinner and so floppier Chain is lo pro and IMO does not have the same stay sharp qualities as larger chain You will get more chain stretch and it will happen more often Chain does not seem to oil quite as well (This is just an impression I have personally but it may not be the case). We also have 12" to 18" bars that take 3/8 .043 - even thinner chain than 3/8 .050. The 30" bar Stubby is talking about would be 3/8 (standard) .050 - in the US instead of having 3/8 .063 for Stihl and 3/8 .058 for Husky they all seem to like 3/8 .050 bars.
  21. Yep unlikely to be the bar then... Will keep an ear to the ground and see if others find the same.
  22. Homemade flooring is much better out woods like poplar and willow IMO. Easier to source the wood, faster and easier to mill, much faster to dry, less drying degrade, easier to machine.
  23. That's better for drying them but bags have advantages when delivering. We could get x3 cubic bags on the back. Quite quick (if fiddly) to load. Quick to unload with small hiab. A lot of customers really liked the 'no mess' and neatness of logs being delivered in a bag.
  24. <p>Ok cheers Noel appreciate the tip - we may well get that one as well</p>

  25. Sorry about that - the sugiharabars.com was on a re direct - now it looks like expired so someone else may now have it!
