    Cnc machine would probably be best for that.

    I'm also very interested in this Saul

    Great first attempt and the main thing is that you enjoyed doing it. Now go make another 200 and you'll notice each one gets better and quicker to make [emoji1]. Once you start aiming for realism, use good quality reference photos and really study their form, rather than try and copy other carvers versions. Otherwise you may unwittingly copy their mistakes [emoji106]

    This is the size of an r7 tip bar. You may also want to have a look at Manpatools angle grinder attachments. The multi cutter and the smaller belt cutter would be much more precise and safer than the lancelot [emoji106]

    I don't really understand what you mean by "there's simply no chainsaw in the world that'd do this an 8" bar on a 2511t would still be FAR too-blunt a tool for the precision required here" Are you saying the work you do would blunt the chain or do you mean the tip of the bar would be too big/clumsy? If the former what's the issue with sharpening the chain? If the latter, the lancelot is a 4"disc, how can that be more precise than even a standard chainsaw setup. What I am suggesting is to use a carving bar, so either a dime tip on 1/4. 50 chain or better still an R7 tip with 1/4 0.43 guage chain, which is about the size of your finger tip.

    May have a potential dining table & bench commission and looking for contacts for either buying kiln dried slabs or getting mine kilned. I'm Liverpool way, anyone nearby?

    Yeah what Bob said[emoji16] Like the side of a coin in this case. [emoji106]

    I've been working on wall pieces a lot these days, experiments with textures.

    I've read so many threads of these Lancelot discs destroying people's hands/fingers. Best advice I could offer is bin it and invest in a chainsaw. Put a carving bar on it and it will be infinitely better and so much safer[emoji106]

    I agree, and I asked because I was asked by the body that have the mill. I told them that as far as I was aware there was no formal certification. As this is new territory for me and them I thought it worth asking the milling community on here. You have all confirmed my initial thoughts on this and I can now move this forward without any further confusion [emoji106]
  22. wisewood
    Thanks for that, I hadn't even thought about HSE /PUWER [emoji106]
  23. wisewood
    It certainly makes sense to have some one to one training on the mill, paying someone to go through operating and maintenance. Just not sure if you'd need something more formal as a business in terms of insurance cover.
  24. wisewood
    As above, is there such a thing? Is it even a requirement? I know when you buy new you can have a days training from the manufacturer, I'm guessing it's possible to do the same with used equipment also? I ask as I have been approached by a group who have acquired a mill and would like me to operate it. I have no hours on a band saw but it's an opportunity that I would love to seize.

    Definitely mate [emoji1]
