midges would stop me although l have tried chainsaw helmet and midge net at the same time
-
yep the warranty always causes me concern. The other thing is that with the new style trousers the knee pads end up as shin pads so l feel that l am not getting the full product. Just bought a pair of Engelbert Strauss and need to take off 6" before l can use them
-
There will be an increased risk of kick back with ripping chain as there are no links that help reduce this. Other than that the structure of the chain is the same
-
Now that would be easier the thought of sharpening two different angles on 36" chain on site has always put me off. l may give the granberg a try when l need some new chains as all at 10 deg sounds better
-
it depends on your use of the workbench. If it was fine woodworking l would go for beech or poplar. General messy stuff l would go for MDF as its stable, easy to change and cheap.

I like the sthil ripping chain but last couple of time l went for the oregon super 70 which seems as good. Never tried the granberg as sharpening at the same angle with standard ripping chain, seems quicker than having to sharpen at different angles for the scoring and clearing cutters of the granberg

being someone whose arse is closer to the ground than most l find it hard to get trousers the right length, (27") last time l bought trousers l altered them myself which took a while to hand sew and was a horrendous experience for me. Anyone else have this problem and if so how do you deal with it? I have tried putting myself on a rack and stretching, but that just pulled my feet off

I have use my 660 with a 36" bar a lot on oak. Not really had a problem but found l needed to keep a check on the depth gauges and make sure they were spot on if not the cut struggled.

advice on some woodland i have my eye on..
davidb replied to Dr.Green's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
if you get to own l would look at a management plan for the woodland, and discuss this with the local authority. If the management plan is accepted by the local authority you should not have to go back to them every time you want to do something in you woodland as long as its in the plan -

I have some field maple but i'm not sure of the size of pieces l can check if you want me to
-
great idea l would also target woodturners via woodturning clubs forums etc woodturners are buying saws to process trunks etc into turning blanks, their practice is sometimes questionable. I would make sure you dont get the participants to bring their own saws to the sessions as you will end up repairing or condemning a lot of saws best of luck

I have a timber jig big mill and a M7 woodworkers mill. The largest l have planked with the timber jig has been with a 38 inch bar on oak and beech. The My woodworkers fits into the back of my pick-up and gets carried into woodland and gardens when required to. I saved some money when l bought the M7 as l already had the bar from the big mill. I am happy with my system and if needed l can upgrade it further
-
or are the two logosol guide bars fitting flush on the four brackets if not the chain bar nose could be twisting as you go along the guide bars
-
Just re read is the bar diving into the log putting pressure on the nose?
-
Rob, I am not following what the issues was any chance of a photo? l am in Woking and have a big mill and m7 woodworkers so if you want to pop over maybe l can help.

Ray, The burrs are being cut off as we go, the planks will be sorted out some will make it to bowl blanks, a load is being planked to 3,4, &5"* 1" boards for the home owners use. Some pieces we haven't decided about yet but l'm keen to have a few boards with burr for table tops etc. We are very lucky that quite few of the burrs go in 2ft deep I also make drums so some of the wood will be going towards that in fact a preped some for drying yesterday, as per the photo
-
Yeh your right J the poles were a temp measure and were replaced with wooden runners off right after the photo. I learnt that the hard way a few years back

Tree was felled last Wednesday and the guys who did that did an excellent job. This oak was in one of those gardens that access to it is so difficult because of extensions and conservatories, so it needs to be cut up on site. This is where l came in as the guys father is a member of the same turning club and this became a bit of a deal, especially when we saw all the burrs. Have spend two days there so far using the big mill to get some usable pieces. Will go back next week and finish the log on the right and start the one on the left. Will also winch some slabs onto the M7 to create some planks. When we started the big right hand log first cut and the inevitable nail happened. However l had this covered with and agreement that the owner replaces any chains broken by metal in the tree. good job as it was a brand new 36" and it took 4 teeth out Looks as if it will keep be busy

just to give a different option I have a logsol big mill and an M7 and they work great for me Welcome to Logosol - Swedish Wood Processing Products!
-
I used a grindstone dresser to get the basic shape then ruined an old 1/4 inch file getting the round shape, set arm to 15 deg and hey presto

I have a big mill and a M7 woodworkers mill. Got the M7 when l got access to a woodland that has footpaths through it. As milling with the big mill was fine, but there was a risk factor of not being able to tape off well enough to keep dogs away from the saw. M7 give a better working hight spent a lot of time on the floor when using the big mill. Seeing l had a big mill l did not need to purchase a guide bar when l got the M7 as the part was interchangeable. There are a lot of accessories for the logsol that means you can develop your mill as you requirements change.
-
For me it is worth it as l use the wood. Milling means l have access to woods that l can get in the wood yard. The draw back is not having enough space for drying.
-
which logosol the big mill or the M7 or M5?
