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

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

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 longHow much cutting time do you reckon you might get off a full charge?- 1

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

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.Got an electrical problem on the old girl, fecker wont start. I put a new battery on it last week, there are two, 24v, it started first time, switched it off and now it won't start. It's an ex Snap-on truck so was modded from new, turning the ignition off doesn't stop the engine (this I'm told was done so the driver could get out lock the door and leave the engine running), you have to hit the kill switch to stop the engine ,there is also an isolator switch to isolate the batteries, to stop the tacho draining the batteries when parked up for a while. Which leads me to think it's the ignition switch itself), before I start ripping the dash apart any ideas?, bill pierce? John p, anyone?
Just to add I've tested the kill switch, and isolator with a meter, they are both working.
Has something drained your new batteries? Or are they fully charged?- 1

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 hereBen I’ll give you £600 for the lot -
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...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
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- 1

Did you sell your 880 pretty easily?Doubt you’ll have much trouble shifting that anyway -
Usually its the flat of the carb body. But i may be wrong if its an unusual one. Is the pimple on the diaphram massive or normal?
Im sure many gauzes will fit but id use a carb gauze. Will be the correct microns etc. Prolly one from a cheap chinese carb kit will do. Or just clean and check ( holding up to light) the one you have, assuming it hasnt wazzed across you workshop when using the compressor as mine usually do- 1

I will sell my 3120 with 42" bar for £750. Shout if yer interestedEvening folks,
So, I'm not a professional nor do I tout for work as a "tree surgeon"; I need a saw for cutting sizeable lumps of timber in the round for my woodworking hobby. Cross cutting and ripping. I don't have a mill (as yet!).
That said, I want to buy a 'proper' saw within about a £700 budget that will take a 20in bar. I have considered the Stihl MS362, Husky 565 and 562.
Can't decide what to do! Any helpful advice gratefully received.

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
