Those old rack benches bring back lots of memories Cold , snowy days spent in the old saw mill Carefully setting the bench going , nocking in wedges so it dosent nip the noise and the smell , those were the days

I have been doing 7 till 8 working through my dinner hour and all day Saturday , and moving machinery around so I can make this possible even if there is no nights and weekends that is something to look forward to

Sad as well , the old guys I used to work with on the estate have all passed away now , and guess what it appears that I am the old guy on the place now

Thankyou just looking forward to not having to work every hour there is

I think it is 1 tonne of timber is something like 4 cube 0f chip , but this has lots of variables -

Is this a trick question ? -
1 machine 8 blades
-
I have had over 1000 blades and only had 1 problem and that was 1 that had not been cut to size , a mistake but in a batch of 200 not too bad They don't particulary wear out any quicker than more expensive ones
-
Machines make this work so much easier and more enjoyable I have looked after that particular cedar for the last 12 years or more , hopefully it will be carved and stay there for a few years yet Some really nice pictures of that old girl

On the heizohack I normaly angle grind them in situ , but sometimes I sharpen on an old belt sander with a home made jig The flat disc type machines are far better than a bench grinder and they normally come with a guide
-
I had a greenmech a few years ago I used to put a bolt with a nut on and put the shaft into a pedastel drill set it going and use an angle grinder

very true , I have seen guys with the biggest chipper they can buy with a 150 hp tractor running flat out trying to power it and not getting the output they should be getting It is very much about the full set up , getting the correct amount of power to run it , and the right size chipper for the hp
-
What is the quality of the chip on your 260 like is it biomass quality as I am thinking of getting a 2nd chipper set up , but don't know if I should get a smaller chipper or a larger one or to try a different make
-
yes 3 point up to the 8-400 but they are heavy I have used mine for brash and seems to work ok . although I can see the top roller conversion would be handy As you probably know to use the grab to squash the brash together to help the infeed process

Heizohack
-
use the led lights you can put loads on , they hardly use any power , they dont get hot , and they can all be used on one switch
-
Why not get a gear made up to fit
-
