I fitted a prazi to a standard skill saw as I had two. They do a couple of different models depending if it is worm drive or not. There website tells you compatability. Chains are standard, so cheap. I made a base for my skill saw so it runs on my dewalt guide tracks. Great tool for cutting curves in beams too. No oiler but I just spray it a bit while I'm cutting.

Would be nice to see it restored

I have a similar looking multico machine that is ace. Paid £120 in reasonable nick. Do you think it would fetch £100 scrap?

I had the sword saw on trial some years ago but opted to buy one of these because it cuts quicker and is a fraction of the price Prazi USA PR2700 Beam Cutter Non Worm Drive: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Free delivery and returns on all eligible orders.

Looks good for a bench top machine. Has it been laid up outside?

Great to hear from you Alec. Missed your input here.

I think this thread should be deleted along with many of its contributiors. I rarely post on here these day because I can't be dealing with the massive lack of respect many members have. Can you not see that you have turned a thread about how bad it is to call people names etc into a thread where you are calling people names. Then people who think they are not included by the op come back and call the name callers names. Takes two to tango, don't feed the trolls and have some respect for your selves and each other.

Lovely. What's a coin like that worth?

1 more to say. Surely it's a lamp[emoji23]

Ain't that the truth.

We try to give all our logs 18 months to season. 12 as minimum. In my opinion 6 months of not enough for most species.

That would work. If I was you I would be looking at loose stacks outside to seaso, essentially lying where you split it, then bring it in to the shed when ready to burn. If you have no way of Mechanically moving it though, your pallet idea would be cheap and stop the need for moving. Or if you can take the side and end off the lean to and replace with a pallet wall down side. Then it would have plenty of air flow in the shed If I had 5 burners I wanted to keep stoked all the time in winter I would want 4 times that amount of wood. If you just burn for romance then you may have enough.

I've had this discussion before and got nowhere. I don't understand how it can be better. It can't cut faster on big logs because the speed is set by how fast you can eject the sawdust. The finish I get with my slabber is great ah can't see that being improved.The only advantage i see is that if I had one I could have both saws on the rails at the same time so I could swab between slabs and dimensional much quicker at a whim. How do you find making a 10" vertical cut through something like slightly knotty oak.? Also where are you based?

I preffered it when I thought the mole grips were integral to the design. No idea on the sound. I just turned it down. That worked fine. -
Maximum possible reduction of large Oak

It's a beautiful tree but you sir are a comic genius. Any chance of the address so I can apply for a tpo before it's pointed? -
Mine is 1.5 not 1.2. All fits on the back of the pick up.I assume you have the 2 part rails if it fits in the van?
-
Just what I need. Can you make me one.
-
For a small splitter that certainly moves fast. Plus I do love a machine that utilises a good pair of mole grips. Im assuming slightly more bending is involved when the crate is empty.
-
That would be a fantastic beast. Where could I find it?

If Milling with the lucas, slabber or circular blade, if you can mill on a slope you can prerry much leave the mill to work it self. If im cutting dimensionsal timber i can slide the last beam off and stack it while the mill is making the first cut of the next beam.
-
What Milling licences do you have?
-
Sorry forgot to quote you in my reply above

Your talking about different things. You said originally that you were going to use your 8ft level to set up references to make your first cut. I said If you do that you will have to level the center of the log. This means that you would have to jack one end of the log up until the pith is running level. I.e. In line with sea level. This is hard work and difficult to do accurately. Level has nothing to do with lining your cut up with the pith. This should always be done. As said I prefer if the log isn't level so I'm Milling down hill but that doesn't mean I don't line up with the center as best as possible.

Sounds like you need a lucas mill.
