Cutting some 16 inch reclaimed pitch pine on the Laimet

Smells amazing!!

I run a laimet 120 3 phase

Cheers Graham I will give them a shout!

Hi anyone know where I can buy simonds inserted tooth blade tips and shanks in the uk?

Hi guys just wondering what people are selling there rough sawn timber (larch and douglas fir) at price per cubic metre?

If you can find a good weinig you won't go wrong I run a six head p22n and it's fantastic!

Nice bit of douglas fir cut today on the laimet. It's one seriously fast saw!

Can anyone tell me if uk grown douglas fir is good for exterior use such as cladding and decking? What kind of life span I'm I looking at? Is it as good as uk grown larch?

Looks a bit different now to how it turned up like!

I don't know of any others. There was one in Northern Scotland for sale a couple of years back, and I know that Willie at Abbey Timber speaks highly of his.

This one came from the Isle of Bute and was originally supplied by fuelwood but they don't support them anymore. I know in 1999 it was £38000. If it will do what laimet claim it should do over 20 cubic meters per 8 hour shift!. It's supposed to be 3 times as quick as a band rack but I guess time will tell on that one. It supposed to be able to do a 29foot length too. Once it's up and running I will take some videos. Can you put videos on here?

I think there can only be a handful of laimet saws in the country? I know County 764 has one and Abbey timber has one too anyone else have one or know of any more about?

for larch i would like to see a large knife behind the blade and wedges on hand, also how did you get on with the blades? the teeth look like simonds 3 x 9 insert - gotta love a big circular mill!

It's a bit of a beast!:thumbup1:The knife is being painted at the minute. Your exactly right with the blade simonds inserts. Lancashire saws can sort me out they have hundreds in stock and at a quid a piece I don't think badly priced! I've just put all new bearings in it. It's built like a tank and really easy to work on.

Looks awesome, what size blade and motor?

42'' blade gives round about 20'' of cut. Im going to put a top saw on at some stage either circular or hydraulic chainsaw. 65hp three phase motor

Where you based in lancashire? What kind of wood do you plan to cut

I'm in between Preston and Blackpool. All sorts of wood really but a lot of larch mainly. I make buildings

Got the motor in place today and the electrician is coming Monday!

Yes all three phase although you can run the laimet off a tractor if you wanted.

I've got so many jobs to do at the moment it's nuts! Better than being quiet though! I've a 15 foot extention to put on the end of the workshop now because the laimet is to long!

The forestor 900 is being reconditioned for a guy and the big stenner 48 vbrq band rack could be for sale I guess.

It was as far as the wife's concerned:biggrin:

I'm just reconditioning the laimet 120 at the minute new bearings and paint etc. Then get some wood put through it!

Well I've just bought another sawmill. I must be nuts this is number four in the last 10 months! my question is my laimet 120 uses a circular saw blade has anyone got any ideas where go get carbide tipped inserts from for the blade and a tool to remove them? Or new blades?

Unloading the old girl! It made the loadall groan a bit!

Hi ollie that would be fantastic!

Well guys my stenner 48 turned up today but I have a problem! It's a hydraulic powered rack version but it's got no hydraulic power pack! It has the hydraulic motor and drive gear for the rack but no electric motor or oil pump. Can anyone tell me what size power pack I need ie the size of the motor and hydraulic pump litres per minute etc . Also the oil tank size? Cheers Adam
