stick a big diesel in that and it would be unstoppable.

For my two penorth, the husqy 135 is a nice competent little saw, that you could also put a carver bar on, or a shavey says, a small dol/mak would be my choice. I have both the husqy 135 and a mak 4300 by the way. The mak has more power, 135 is nice and light.

Because i've now got a mini selection of saws, i am now thinking of buying a new cheapo saw to strip down and rebuild, just to learn how they work etc. I am not mechanically minded at all, not even with cars. So my thought is that if the saw is new and running, it will be nice and clean to learn from, so to speak.

Thanks, am i right in thinking its just a firelighter put down the centre ?
-
How do you do them ? is it just a case of cutting some lines down a log and then sticking a fire lighter down the middle. How far do you cut down the log ?

So what are your business plans/ambitions for the new year?
harvey b davison replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
hopefully, after nearly 3 years of working on ongoing temp contracts, i will get a proper full time contract with the nhs hospital i've been working at doing joinery work. I really enjoy working there, so fingers crossed. Also i would like to maybe do the cs32 cert, a tractor driving course, and maybe one other. Have a word with the people in charge and see if i can do a bit of arb work as well as the joinery. -
I've just bought a ticket for the first time. Well done steve, for the brilliant work you and the mods do.

Well, i got mine from my dad a few weeks ago, in the shape of a makita dcs9010. Our lass in working on days today so will open prezzis this aft when shes home. Merry xmas everyone.

No i forgot all about. Funny thing is, i was out walking with my eldest, saw it and didnt realise. Doh !

Cheap reliable saw (stihl or husky) under £250

I've also got a husqy 135, had it a couple of years but not used it much, good saw when running but can be difficult to start. -
I use a set of stanley dynagrip chisels for everyday use on site, but in my own workshop i use a set of marples. But as others have said, its just about keeping them sharp, regardless of what they cost.

Sorry for butting in, but yorkshire tea is the best well flavoured tea you will get any where.

Nice one J, some very good and sensible advice. -
I'm almost certain you can get the oregon pro bars in large d033 mount, as i'm looking into getting one after xmas.
-
Ive just got a 9010, and find it a bit of a beast, heavy and built like a tank with a simple engine. There are other threads on here with more info.
-
I agree, i initially was going to get the dcs7900, but when i saw that the 9010 was only about £30 more, i just thought sod it and ordered that instead. Mine will get a good workout for the first time this weekend cutting up a decent turkey oak.
-
Hi J, how are you finding your 9010, that i believe you got a few months ago ?
-
shavey or tcd are your best bet. I've got the ea4300 and find in a capable little saw. I just also got a dcs9010 and its a beast.
-
I bought some trojan ones from arco, and they're pretty decent.
-
i got my 9010 from garden machines, there is a link to them on page 1 of this thread.
-
Hi jon, its a 90cc, and when i used it for the first time at the weekend, it felt as tho it weighed 90kg.
-
I didnt plan on getting the 9010, i was looking at a 7900, but the price was that close, it just made sense to get the bigger saw. I'm not a pro user so it should hopefully last me a life time so to speak. Plus i've always fancied a go at milling so it fits the bill nicely.
-
A husqy 135 is not a bad small saw. I have one. BUT, going by your post and forgive me if i am wrong, but i take it your a complete novice with no training or ppe. So ideally you need to factor in at least some proper ppe and possibly some sort of training.
-
Yes, i'd like to try aspen as well, but for what i do, just cannot afford it.

cheers eddy
