Has anyone any suppliers for replacement conveyor belts please?

Dremel 1453 Chainsaw Sharpening Attachment with 4 Grinding Stones, Guage & Guide | eBay

 

There you go, the diamond rotary files are much better as they don't lose their diameter through use but you'll get a fair few sharpens with the stones, cheers.

Thats the one!! Diamond stones I use are £4.51 for 5 on ebay and last forever!!!

That attachment looks good - but I reckon the diamond stones we do are better and you get more than a few sharpens (I know you should do at that price) and they are longer - most folk with the precision grinder are now using them.

 

You searched for diamond - Chainsawbars

Most folk? I doubt it at that price, the ones I use are £4.51 for 5 off ebay and they last forever

Got a picture? Do you use it freehand or with a clamp?

I use a dremel for the majority of my sharpening, also keep looking at the clarke bench mounted sharpener in machine mart.

I also use a dremel, a cordless one and diamond bits as the diameter remains the same.

A couple of local professionals mocked the idea but they both have them now, the diamond bits give an edge much finer than a file therefore lasts longer.

Whats going on here ?.

 

Bloke ( or lady ?) posts a fairly normal request perhaps phrased not as most are and seems to be getting some (but not all) smart arsed replies. Thats not what this board is about in my book.

Hear hear!!! Too much piss taking sometimes!

Hi Drythropple

 

Give the office a call and speak to Kevin on the service deck. Does sound like the gap is too large. How good is the anvil. Have the blades been sharpened to much?

 

01933 274400

Ok, thanks, will do

Is there a manual available?

That sounds like the blade gap is too big

Yeah, my thinking too, thanks

Are they sharp?

 

If they aren't you haven't a prayer

He reckons so, he has also turned the anvil to a new edge, the timber is left with a "long tongue" on it as if the blade isnt close enough, I think he has messed around with it too much and its now way off the original settings!!

You can adjust the length of the stroke from 1000mm to 1250 (ish) by adding / removing the stops

Any one know anything about setting up the blades on this machine?

Belongs to a friend of mine but has stopped pulling the timber in (no feed rollers its that old), in fact it is more likely to chuck it back at you!,

Any help would be appreciated

I would go for a kubota diesel 2 or 3 cylinder, may pay a little more but will soon get it back on the cost of red diesel over petrol and they are so economical!!

Best to use proper polytunnel covers as they have a film on the plastic that prevents dripping, the moister sticks to itself and runs down the poly!

Pm me your email and I will send you parts diagram and a contact email!!

Thanks for all the advice I'm gong to spend next week trying to sort it!

I think the answer to your problem would be to fit the saw control valve as fitted to the Kesla and Patu stroke delimbers

This valve splits a small portion of the saw motor flow to the double acting ram that controls the saw rise and fall, it is adjustable to control the speed of fall and when your control lever is pushed to rise it cuts off the oil flow to the saw motor, no blown seals!

Caladonian forestry services are the agents for Kesla and are very helpful

The outside diameter is 240

Inside diameter is 175

Spacing between holes is 135

will try and dig it out tomorrow or tuesday!

Can you measure the diameter and pitch of the teeth, I have one here thats held on with (I think from memory) three bolts!!

Just wondered if anyone has attempted to convert a 3ton double drum igland single lever winch to remote control?

Is it possible with hydraulic rams etc?

Hi DRY can I ask what size pump that is mate thanks Jon

I think up to 35 litre a minute from memory, they are very reasonable

Thanks for the response. The idea is to use the tractor in the wood, and Land Rover on the road. I tried a wheel against the trailer and there looks to be clearance? Spacers wouldn't be to much hassle, I was hoping some one out there would know of a 4 stud wheel which would fit onto the existing hubs.

Try Totrax, they have wheel/tyre combinations for any application

Where did you get yours from Jon? Anybody else have a good supplier for this?

Flowfit online, very reasonable and fantastic service, I think their pto pumps are around £200

Aah I thought you meant the upper ball spherical bearing?

You can also do the upper bearing without splitting it !

2 builders trestles with the little upstands cut off, perfect height and the loops just slip off.

Five Star Polytunnels have a good range of tunnel covers, have used them for years, the cover on one of my tunnels is 11 years old, they give an excellent service!!

Go for a mig!!
