    Try chipping with realy worn anvil(s) or rollers, the effect is just as bad as dull blades?
  2. Borders Training
    In 15 years of using and training people on chippers, you may find the anvil, and rollers are just as important as sharp blades!

    Very similar, but you get these custom fit at specsavers, tell them what yuo want them for and hey presto! around £130 though

    I have had scaffold cup locks, steel bar, ballast through a 19-28 (on hire, not me!!) and never any serious damage, the flywheel is sold, not like the t/w and the paddles are much thicker than the jensen machines, prob not a great deal of damage

    We found fitting 'chipper muffs' helped the problem, was side impact injury a massive problem? ie. will these new helmets make a difference or are they just another cash cow?

    Im just in the process of deciding whether to go and get some custom fit with a filter in them, you can talk normaly, then when the fun starts, they shut down (alledgedly!)

    That really depends on whether you use decent plugs? there are some very good moulded ones available.

    A Newcastle based HSE officer, is in the process of assessing the 'climbing stlye' helmets after numerous complaints regarding the efficiency of the eaf defenders. The problem is due to the webbing strap not allowing the cuffs to seal against the cheak bone and allowing vibrations/noise to travel to the ear. Anyone else had an issue with these? (the above is fact - He was in my office discussing this earlier in the year)

    Run off, wood soaks moisture. Its on page 17, so it must be true!

    quote 'are made of non-conducting material, such as wood or pvc'
  14. Borders Training
    Well that was my understanding when I did my AE units, that was a few years ago, so things might have changed re: ohms law and conductivity?
  15. Borders Training
    Just read 'Moving the goal posts' in May issue of Forestry Journal, According to Hugh Jones they are erecting goal posts to mark overhead conductors (good idea) but he rekons they are using wood as one of the materials as it is NON conducting? any comments?? is wood not porous?

    Try using rayco finger teeth on the machine, the tungsten tip is the same size, and they are less than £3 each. The only down side is, if changing from super teeth you need to buy pocket the first time £7 each.

    I have used the Greenmech 13-23 22hp petrol and it's a great machine for the money

    I know what content I would include, but would like some opinions as to what people like to see, what keeps them interested etc, personaly I hate the flash, multi coloured ones.
  22. Borders Training
    What make/model is the chipper?
  23. Borders Training
    With those symptoms, only if the settings have gone slightly off. The valve with the solenoid coil, occasionaly packs in, this causes that to happen, check the wires for high resistance joints, or try to scrounge a valve off another machine to try.
  24. Borders Training
    Could be the spool valve (high chance), auto stress just too low?
  25. Borders Training
