    I would do thicknesses mostly suitable for the likes of table tops and desktops etc. I was always under the impression that it didnt last outdoors, but I met a chap the other day who reckons he has found it to have fairly good rot resistance. It finishes well when dry, but the grain is sort of wiggly, so you would need extremely sharp tools to work it.

    Thought i had some pics of it milled. I have done a bit of it. Its very heavy and hard as you would expect, with a very light colour to it, the character consisting not of the normal medullary ray pattern associated with oak, but more like little flecks. Some of it had dark staining from disease too, which was very attractive. There was little to no movement during drying. Well worth it IMO. edit- found them. This was a tree in exeter for a customer of Gibbon's. The golden colour fades a little, and the flecks appear browner with a creamier background in time.

    For the money you are talking about you could get a very nice custom built bike made.

    Nowt wrong with boardman bikes, its just halfords bike depts are awful, and if you have problems with the bike their after sales leave alot to be desired from what i have been told..

    PLEASE dont support those monkeys in the halfords bike department.....They may be cheap, but their so-called trained technicians are generally morons. I have seen mountain bikes with forks fitted the wrong way round comng out of that shop FFS!!!!

    Yeah but your good husky dealer should have no problem whatsoever getting stihl spares....
  7. tommer9
    True, but then that machine doesnt work....now way of telling what condition that one is in either. Probably worth a punt if one has facilities to do the work...
  8. tommer9
    I think that milling is such a harsh job for a saw that the machine is more important than the dealer in this case.

    TBH you could probably get a new hudson or lumbermate for the price of a second hand mizer....

    The bit that says 'tractor can sometimes jump of reverse'............that may well prove to be VERY expensive.....

    BOth are excellent saws, but the 088 is much more suited to the job. I have both husky and stihl machines, but wouldnt touch the 3120 for milling. Its not got the torque of the 88, wihch is what i use.

    Never experienced a single problem like that with my machine. In fact I never had a single problem with it in the 8 years of owning it. It was the fastest most bombproof machine i have ever used. Much better than the 9" vermeer i have now.

    hacksaw blade is what i always used on my 620, that was perfect.
