BLOODY NOISY THOUGH. Same's are. imho

As to what I found, not a lot the wiser, certainly only recently removed, and appears to all be there, 3 Ph motor looks very fresh, all adjusters appear to turn, move and slide, a couple or 3 dents in mild steel guards, and minor damage due to the rushed removal (divorce settlement) Rollers for the sliding bed all turning freely with no play or rumble in the bearings I have no idea as to the state of crown of the bandwheels, they look very flat, but so did the bandwheels on the Stenner that was up and running in the same yard, I was assured? both mills had recently had the band wheels re-crowned. Not entirely sure it is the best/optimum/correct mill for me but recalling the best defination of a bargain I have ever read. "A bargain is something one does not need at a price one can afford" On which basis I was more than happy ;D to be out-bid by someone who knows more about this Mill, its hertitage or proper value. The vendor did suggest that it would be the perfect Mill to set up on a 40' flat bed trailer, for use or show. Couldn't argue with that idea. regards, Marcus PS Not put a bid on yet:confused1:

priced against a TK2200 /TK2400 OR Cooks AS-36 Diesel. Probably good value at about £25,000.00 IF one has a job for such a Mill. I however, dont. Assuming is as described. Marcus

Hmmm? Wonder how the Vendor got his hands on that bit of kit. Never saw one go through Withams or L Jackson's. gerrr!

Codlasher, Per the ebay listing "Fred" is the seller.(& hopefully owner??) (& Fred could talk two legs off an Irish donkey) He is picking me up Sat am from Stansted. And, Thank you for those useful tips Codlasher. Fingers crossed Ps I wisely had bought the plane tickets before I told Senior Managment m

Trade 3-Part Skymaster

Eh! Ps Spoke to Fred just now

Gee! Needless to say I did look at thissun. And, Yes I could seriously "get the hots" for it. Cept attempting to finish the en-suite for wor daughters 21st next Wednesday. It certainly looked very fresh to my sawmill uneducated eye. I was a little concerned that bits could have gone astray in the dismantling or palleting. I would rather have seen it before it was stripped. However could be worth a punt. That is Codlasher, your suggestion/recommendation could be enough to tip my decision. certainly little interest.

I were having a chat with the Boss tother day, We were discussing doing research on tinternet, regarding products or subjects we knew knowt about. We virtually simulteanously said that it was easy to filter out the real-world sensible informed advice. From the uninformed spouting. Even for topics with which we were not familiar. Strange but true. Edit Still searching on here for advice on plumbing and tiling the en-suite for the daughter. All I find is endless discussions about trees. Honest John nor the Farming forum are a deal of help either.

Well dang:blushing: Me! I read an re-read that Witham's advert, and could not/did not see the word "electric":confused1: I deduced prob electric due to the 2 canvas covered battery? packs and the control set-up. Converting to hydraulic should simply be a case of swopping an electric motor for a (presumably high speed) hydraulic unit. I can only presume it power spools out as well as winching in under power. m

see British Aerospace Rapier Missile, Eqpt Winch Assembly, #62298 - MOD Sales, Military Vehicles & Used Ex MOD Land Rovers for Sale Nice looking bit of kit, "Rotzler" type. But what is power source, electric? convert to hydraulic? And what is line pull rated at. Guessing it could go the length of £1000.00

major, Look on the "Logosol" website. Prices are all on there for the Norwood mills, and their various accessories.. I have been assured there is no discount applicable to the listed prices. Having repeatedly asked:001_rolleyes:

"J", I was literally coming back to amend my post to include the 2" band option (CooksSaw AC-36) having thought to double check the specs. Yes the bigger band-wheels, were as you will recall, my prime reason for wanting the LM15 Mill from LogMaster, as I intutivetly understood the engineering benefits of the larger diameter. I presume the wider and thicker band can also be strung a lot tighter, before risk of failure, and is also less "twisty" anyway. Marcus PS Did I ever mention I was a "perfectionist" by Sociometric:lol: profiling. This is not all good. Particularly susceptible to "Analysis Paralysis", for a start!! m

I understand 1.25" is the standard band width for most of the Woodmizer/Norwood/TimberKing type bandsaw mills. I have note a couple of manufacturers offering the option of 1.5" wide blades, on mills I am considering. Is there any sensible merit in going wider. Or are the wider blades more difficult to source or significently more expensive. Or what?

A wee aside "Jonny Maun/Mon?" was the alcoholic blacksmith who lived in a hovel cum blacksmiths forge very near Drenagh Sawmill, Limavady. And brazed the big bandsaw blades for the sawmill. And was apparently gifted at it. This is if I am correctly recalling a morsel of info related by my father some 45 years ago. When I idly asked "does anyone live there" as we drove past one day.

Well I hadda fix the drill before I could fix the back door, which, no word of a lie, has been hanging on the one survivng top hinge (out of 4) all week. Welded the spud of the broken hinges to a cutting of heavy section wall-plate strap, an fixed the door too. After welding (with my useless dog of , in the eyes of some leastwise , a "buzz-box" air cooled welder) a 3mm drill bit to the end of a 250mm cutting of 10mm re-bar to allow me to bore pilot holes within a 1/2" of the reveal. Am proper on a roll.

The Panasonic cordless had stopped working, absolutly completely, the new one:confused1:, not the trusty indestructiblee old one. So I sat down and split her open. Had a poke round in her guts and seeing nowt obvious amiss, decided to check the brushs. Woila, one was well stuck:confused1:, freed it up, a wee squirt of WD40, screwed all back together. And bless my soul it worked 110% With no bits left over. Marcus PS I kinda understood such wonders of modern technology were beyond repair.

I would have thought with CNC machining and laser/plasma cutting getting band wheels machined should not in any way be difficult or expensive. Or use a pneumatic tyre like Turner's do. In respect of CE certification, no idea, or comment.

I worked my way up through the supposedly higher quality = most expensive, but highest g/m2 weight offen ebay. no good, eyelets pulled out. Bought a genuine high quality poly tarp off Cunningham covers. Eyelets stayed put, but the tarp ripped. Sticking to sheets of tin, damaged polycarbonate, whatever else I can get. And very very very very well ballasted. Ah hate wind. Acutally considering a "Blueline" or "Global Steel" type shed with one or both ends open, cunningly sited to keep most of the wind blown rain out. Or fit the end with the doors next the wind and omit to fit the rear gable. Then shut the doors to keep the rain out, but open them to let the dreaugth in. A pity our weather always comes from the South West. About 30' by 50' bugger, foiled The bandsawmill ud tak priority to be under such cover. Need another bloody shed. Or a much bigger one. sigh. Better work a wheen more years yet to pay for the retirment toys.

The Mrs. says "But why?" Quite phenominal skills btw.

RNJ I can only assume the data from the road hawk, would at least be taken into consideration. It is simply a more basic uncalibrated version of that that the Police cars use. It could certainly prove or disprove/support or contradict the two contradictory accounts of the collision. From both GPS data and the recording of speed, and acceleration (+or-) marcus
