Nice series of pics to go through - you'll have plenty there after getting through that lot!
-
How are they looking? I'd say around the £35-£40 a cubic foot mark would be a fair price...
-
Awesome bit of kit!
-
Great work Jon - glad the big 84" is working out - I still think flap disc on a battery angle grinder (or mains grinder with adjustable speed control) - custom depth guage setter and you're away!! Going to have to get me another 880 I think!
-
Stihl 08,088 or as Alec said 070,075,076 - all are good milling saws. MS880 and 090 go for a lot of money on ebay these days...
-
Thanks for updating the thread Jon I've had it milling where I've got halfway up the log, milling steadily then the whole mill just came to a halt - jammed! Bar looked and seemed fine - but was the cause!
-
Pleasure!

It's to do with purines I think? - my mate suffered from it - agony - but cleaning up lifestyle and reducing intake of these foods sorted his out...
-
Nice Ed - were they new? If so can you send the link? Also just noticed in the pic your drive rim is pretty worn - make sure you replace it if you get a new bar!

Samurai Legend comp extreme - 9" R6 carving bar for Stihl MS150
Rob D replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
No worrys - they are delicate things compared to normal carving bars but the tiny noses do allow for good fine detail work. -
Not at the moment but will have in 3 months - actually will put these bars back on the selector but add in a note saying they are out of stock...
-
The light type bars will be in 18", 20" and 25" for these saws... so only be the 18" as not too much demand for smaller bars in 3/8 .063
-
Hi Steve - yep I'm going to get some 15",18" and 20" in .325 .050 to run 95VPX - these will be in the laminated bars only - but again the order is separate to the one being processed so around 4 months wait I'm afraid...
-
<p>Ha ha - had me worried as I posted them myself - first class - should have been as bit faster than that - I hope these ones fit.</p>
-
Should run it ok but would be at the max - is this for a 9010? It seems like the flange at the bottom of the mounting bolts stops the large Husky bars fitting - these are all oregon D009 mounts... Does anyone know if you can buy the 8mm mounting studs easily and if so where from?
-
It's not too bad - the method I use is a little crude. Use the chain punch to remove the rivets then change nose and insert new rivets. Then use the chain punch to burr them over finally a light grind or very small hammer to flatten them. If you think that'll be too much of a pain let me know...
-
No prob - I think it's fair enough to advise of price rises - you could be on the verge of buying something and then when you do decide to go ahead the price has suddenly gone up! Additional - Granberg .404 ripping chain is currently unavailable - Granberg chain is converted Carlton chain and Carlton were bought out by Oregon. Seems to be hard to get hold of out the factory in .404.... Still leaves Oregon and Stihl.404 ripping chain...
-
Good stuff!
-
There's going to be some price rises soon on CSB. As follows: Mills - will all go up around 10%. Granberg (who manufacture the mills) had the busiest Feb (by far) they have ever had - they have been trading 60 years.... The last price rise I absorbed but prices have just risen again.... price rises will come into effect on the 1st April.... Sugihara bars - no price increases - next order due in around 1st July - more on this later. K+H wedges - no price increases Woodchuck tools - no price increases - next order due in around 1st May (ish) Stihl equipment - no price increases Oregon equipment - around 6% - although bars and other accessories have gone up more than this and will be done individually.... Remember - to get your arbtalk free gift just put 'arbtalk' in the voucher code box on checkout.

Hi Jon - these have all but sold out I think unless Jonsie has some left?... I think we have 13" light type, 18" pro solid... that's it! The bars for 550 and 560 have been by far the most popular!
-
As above - mill as soon as possible!
-
Pleasure

The 3/8" pitch noses can be changed for a .404 nose - a .404 nose is £18-00+vat if you wanted to swap one over.

Tis a mega hard market to crack! It's all worth a fortune until you find someone to buy it! Selling timber is the hardest part - I have an ebay shop now and it's starting to shift some wood but still slow Timber sales, Sugihara guidebars Stihl items in chainsawbars alaskanmill and treet store on eBay! Bear in mind it takes an age to photo and upload to ebay so I give someone 20% of the sold price for doing this. 20% uploading commission 20% vat 10% ebay fees 3% paypal 5% on making up the postage and packing materials 2% for returns/problems 20% Cost of wood/planing/prepping/storage 5% admin and misc Profit 15% Not alot! But if you were not vat registered and did everything yourself you could do better.
