Granfors Bruks splitting Axe or Maul ??
tommer9 replied to combined tree services's topic in General chat
Yeah no worries. Just to add that the mauls can be used as a hammer. -
Hokey-pokey!

Thats incredibly lucky!!! I'm kinda speechless. That must have been terrifying for all involved!

Ironjack, in no way was i meaning to be snide , belittling or anything else. In the grand scheme of things an 024 is a small saw. a fantastic little saw at that though. Personaly i have a husky 242xp in that size and love it to bits. However I was genuinely interested to hear your views about my question, as i find that felling dogs got in the way for me when snedding, hence my use of the 'confused' smiley. I found that a 60cc saw was the smallest saw i could be bothered with on snedding, with a 16" bar, in order to be able to sned at the speed i desired, and that the spikes were a PITA, esp when using the top side of the bar.

Not very nice about his spelling are they?

One certainly gets that impression. -
The tipping gear from the landrover......it has 10 + years of grease and grime in it and has (very suddenly bizarrely enough) lost all it tipping power. Well actually its not on my bench anymore, its on a rotating electrics guy's bench for £40 for a pro clean.

I should add that chainsaw carvers should steer clear of it, as due to the way they use their saws, i.e with the bar NOT buried in the wood- using one side of the bar or just the bar nose etc- the saw does get sprayed with veg oil that bakes on the fins and the saw will sieze through overheating.
-
I do think its better for the saw- the chains seem to run free-er and cooler with it too.

Its bang out of order IMO. Unfortunately it seems to be the way the internet works. It is easy to be vitriolic and critical to the point of hurt whilst hiding behind the anonimity of ones P.C. -
No. I have been doing this for several years now, and a mate has been doing it for over 20 with no ill effects. I do remove all the casing on the climbing saw once a year to check, but there is rarely anything to worry about, and TBH the saving over 'real' oil would pay for a new saw probably.
-
Exactly what Oldmilltrees said.
-
I use veg oil from the back of the pub (used). It cant get much eco friendlier than that. And its usually free. Although i did have to pay £4 for the last 20 litres though!

They are really cool. I love it!

The Maul Dave. I have one you can try if you like. -
YEah sounds like turbo. Thes jap things aint half pricey arent they?!?!
-
If your machine is set up properly and blades are correctly sharpened this is not an issue. Swing mills are also more wasteful having a thicker cut, and I think i am correct in saying that they are slower overall, which is why most commercial mills nowadays use bandsaw mills.
-
Class. Good find!
-
Although i dont have one, the 346xp would be my advice.
-
Its quality stuff Rob:sneaky2:........you ever tried miling any? I did once, just for a giggle. It was a TOTAL waste of fuel and time. From this country it is just crap firewood at best that stuff.
-
Looks lovely. Great afternoon reading PGK. Looking forward to the next installments.

'Dadio throws a big top'. A reply to unjust criticisms
tommer9 replied to Pete Bannister's topic in Rigging and roping
Thats as maybe, but its more informative and techincally accurate than anything Dadio ever posts:lol: -
Its a beautiful tree, surrounded by hideous houses and a crap stone wall. It is also now worth an enourmous sum of money by dint of the fact that NYCC have behaved in such an inexcusable way. In the pic above, the tree is the ONLY thing worth keeping. IMO they should fell all those monstrous chavvy buildings with their awful roof tiles and hideous PVC.
