Thanks for replies. Spud can you reccomend a decent pi model/make for around £100?
-
Well i gone and bought one. Found one for 220quid new. I have about 125m2 of old floorboards to sand and no power supply other than a genny so even if it halfs the amount the genny is on ( will switch to 230v one when a done in 6x 5ah batteries and charge these) thatll work for me. Will let you know how i get on with it

Thissun Sounds like some of they worn out bars might have a bit life left in them for you which is good news
-
File file works, oil stone very good at it, oregon do a right angle file jig thing which works. Been really living using an oil stone actually works real good. There is a great vid somewhere of a carving chatting about bar dressing. Ill see if i can find it

Yah, ended up on the scales at council tip a while back, empty my truck with an arsnel of saws and rigging kit etc left a very small payload if any
-
Yeah i have a wee bosch 4" which eats batteries, but was hoping these new makita 36v brushless motors might be a bit kinder. Which they would be if as good as the 36v saws
-
For what its worth im with 5shires on price. But thats just based ona couple pics eh. Hard to believe a 4 man team wouldnt get that chinned a 2 days, stump grinding on top. Really a 4 man team would get it stripped out in a day surely? Leaving a day for them heavy?
-
Anyone got? Any good? Use my plug in grinder often, cordless is better. Already have batteries. Will be used on stone and metal and for a fair bit of sanding

Hit a tonne of nails when last out milling. Have a gimpy cheapo wall scanner. Doesnt really work beyond an inch. Are there simple cheap detectors out there? Not looking to spend hunnerds. The bosch wall scanners seem to work real good on walls but not used in timber. Thanks

Having switched to using x2 120cc saws chainsaw milling at 42" cut i would never go back. If youre going to fabricate something i would def plan this in
-
Nice bit of olive ash. Slabs were 41" by 10.5ft, mostly 2" boards. Hit 7 nails. New record!

After Market Seal Kits & Carb Rebuild Kits- Any Good?
billpierce replied to Heavy Oil Saw's topic in Chainsaws
Found the carb kits to be ok. Wouldnt bother with am crank seals as pita to to fit and oem are cheap enough anyways. Basically if its easy to fit, and a massive saving, and not going to wreck the saw id crack on -
Made this for cheap. Works good, big crab goes onto 4srt foot loop. Marlow elastic off ebay ( maybe 6mm)
-
Looks like a good deal.
-
Logging eats the batteries fast. I dismantled a decent size ash ( stem was 24 to 28" ).one set of batteries lasted until i got 357 sent up, nearly all rigged so plenty of cutting. I was pretty surprised it lasted that long

Built-in wood ovens and building regs
billpierce replied to Lucan's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Many houses have solid fuel rayburns etc which are pretty similar. Dont know what the regs are but they will be out there -
I recently had an exciting fire in my exhaust. Chip and been falling back down the chute into the silencer. I thought someone must of been having a fire nearby until i realised the smoke was coming the chipper.

I think 201 tc-m is m tronic and tc isnt. Might be wrong though. If it had a carb h and l jet adjust itll be non electronic carb. It check they are on factory settings and try running it. Obvs check the fuel filter isnt totally clogged as well
-
Tbh if you just whack monstar bar and huge dawgs on it does the same job
-
Check your power to starter motor and starter earth. I would run a 24v jump cable from yer batteries to it for pos and clip to good clean earth on chassis for neg. Do it one at a time, so you can identify which if any is faulty. Has something drained your new batteries? Or are they fully charged?
-
Cant tell if your joking or not matty, but if you buy the lot id happily buy a few off you if they are up here
-
Just crack on at anything you fancy really. Youd do well to get a carving bar for the 180 but sure you will get something made if not an option for you. You wont manage deep curving cuts or much detail without a carving bar. Try face in a log first?
-
Is that with two 5.0Ah batteries very impressive... Think you mentioned before you had the knock off ones also? Makita cordless stuff seems to have shot up abit in price recently £100 more than they were last year for bare unit saw. Yes 5ah battery and yes have a pair of waitley 6ah batteries. They seen as good if not better power wise but have cracked both the casings, not critically but still probably the start of the end for them. Suspect they will hold up for a good bit yet with plenty gaffa

Cutting metre billets of 4 to 6inch seasoned beech into 3 or 4 logs per billet the duc 355 can fill the back of my double cab pickup off a single charge. with chip sides so its a good heaped load. But over 6 inch seems to deplete the battery faster
-
Makita duc 353 if you have makita batteries anyways. Ace little saw. Make sure you dont accidentally buy the tooless tensioning one
