    These are largely abrasive cutters which perform as badly on wood as regular chainsaw do on concrete. Concrete in timber is a baaaaad combination, good luck with it

    Check it on line Weekly planning applications list

    Then you need to adapt and overcome or get a new game

    Nope, play your game and let the others worry about theirs .

    A couple of tones is a lot of dry chip, quantification is best done by volume rather than weight, are you sure about the quantity? Had a QS ask for 18t of chip for a landscaping scheme once, what he wanted was an 8 wheeler load which is substantially less than 18t

    Chances are the housing isn't drilled for grease nipples so making it grease able will probably mean swapping the housing, or drilling and tapping the existing casting (not that simple without the right kit, if the housing even has space for it) Probably an upgrade job.

    Yup, once they are on the way out they go downhill faster than grease able ones. Its worth noting that chipper and particularly grinders can be a tough life for bearings and failures shouldn't be too surprising. They are open to abuse particularly on pre stress control models. Blunt machines make things worse and its easy to flat spot bearings.

    You could turn that around and ask yourself how you can justify using the saw without the PPE A pair of chainsaw pants is cheap compared to getting your body fixed.

    Then keep it quiet. Think about it, you will get there

    Its nothing to do with power or American, all caravans ought end with a good "Top gear" treatment

    Its tricky to second guess what someone else has done Personally I would do whatever was appropriate at the time and commensurate with the individuals ability.

    Why didn't you ask him? Surely he would have been in a better place than any of us to clarify any points.

    And of those hits how many were in Brum and looking for tree work? Getting a web counter to spin is a simple matter as is making your paying client look like a cock

    That's got to be the most blatant spam in ages, not to mention the most stupid

    However, in slow moving applications like roller boxes the grease seldom gets anywhere near what in most applications would be considered normal operating conditions, particularly temperatures. In these slow moving, high contamination environments its often advisable to grease on the heavy side to purge contaminants.

    Capstans are hard on synthetic ropes especially pollyprop. If you use it with a capstan you run the risk of ending up with a big melted lump on the front of the winch.

    Make sure the fluid is covering the sender of it can miss read

    But a splice isn't every splice. A bit of Brummel is a fairly quick and simple thing compared with say a bit of double braid with a nice tight jacket. There are plenty of double braids out there that don't require the finger bleeding effort that a climbing line would

    :laugh1::laugh1: Although, better cluttering roads other than ours.

    Well you could look at it like that, ..........or you could ask yourself why you didn't pick up on a leaking brake line before something relatively trivial like a blocked breather, or indeed why the problem with the brake line rubbing didn't come to light before it became a serious problem. This is what periodical inspections are for

    Unless you need it fitted to the vehicle, a stand alone unit will be much cheaper and more versatile.
  24. treequip
    I can do that from the grease you were thinking of using on that nipple you didn't buy yet:laugh1::laugh1:
  25. treequip
    Surely that will just buff out:laugh1:
