Thanks I will call baileys at some point and find out exactly what it is. Can't work out if it's 3 or 5 skip.

THanks. So if this is correct a 100ft reel woukd give me 7 loops and cost 495 where as 7 loops would cost 625. So there is savings to be made but considering i wouldn't buy 7 now, I only need 3 2 x 3 skip and 1 x 5 skip. So should I spend 267 on 3 or 495 on 7. I guess I'd need to buy rivets and links too. Looking like 3 it is. Any how, does anybody have any experience changing these chains to 3 or 5 skip?

Bring stupid. I can just measure how many feet in a 190 link loop. Ta

Anyone know the number of drive links in 100ft reel of 404 063 ripping chain. Trying to figure out how much cheaper it is to buy a reel and not loops . My loops are 190 drive links long. So how many would I get from a reel? Cheers

Thanks. I'll keep that in nind.

Thanks

I have asked rob before if he can supply 3 or 5 skip and he said no. Just priced up a granberg 190 link ripping chain from there and it's considerably cheaper than lucas 5 skip. I assume If I take toot with the grinder it will be exactly the same as the granberg 5 or 3 skip ripping chain? I've never made up a chain loop myself (though im dure i could)so maybe I'll just buy a couple of loops off rob and have a play. I have a granberg ripping chain for my alaskan in 404 063 so I will compare it to my lucas chains.

Hi. I need an old 404 bar to make a sharpening jig for my lucas slabber. Doesn't have to be great but needs to be straight for at least a foot of it. Payment or donation to children's trust can be arranged. Please let me know if you have anything in the scrap pile. Cheers

I have a a double ended alaskan running on two 051 power heads. I'd take the lucas slabber any day of the week. Just a gentle push is all it needs.

Here's some pics. Sorry didn't take too many. Frame erected minus wind braces, milling the roof, pile of roof timbers and started to pitch roof before heavens open.

Got the slabber working great now. 4.8m x 1.1m ish taking 5 or 6 min per cut and leaving great finish. I had to shim out the bar one side with some pieces of bean can lid as it was ever so slightly pitched down which was causing a washboard effect and the end of the cut pulling down 5mm deeper than the start. I think I am going to make a second oiler though for the other end of the bar as think it is slightly under oiled on the big cuts.

Costco at times have great deals on heavy duty racking.

Never seen one longer than that. How long did you need it? I have seen long extensions for them but they can be problematic.

You really are a t..t. Ignore button pressed.

Not sure if anyone has ever died or not. If there not sure of the toxins in the wood then can we be sure. I was thinking the same with food safe finishes. For eg. If a board is covered in polyurethane then your food is in contact with that, not the wood. The problems may arise if the finish deteriorates or chips. Don't know really. You can buy plastic bottles , goblets , plates etc and I'm not convinced that you would never get any leaching out of these. But I do hate plastic.
