Milling is maybe a different kettle of fish . Working on the ground be it in the woods or a groundy I have found , over the years that its best not to grease them . I have had a few nose sprockets let go and since I stopped greasing all has been fine . It depends on the environment you are working in but sometimes dirt and dust can stick to the grease making it into a sorta grinding paste shortening the life span . Just me perhaps ...

Methanol is synthetically produced where as ethanol is produced by the fermentation of food crops . Ethanol is a weak acid where as methanol is stronger . Ethanol has a blue flame whilst methnanol has a white flame . Methanol should not be consumed !

Its getting it on your rope that is the tin lid . We went to job where they said they would clear it . They did not . I walked round and marked each and every Richard with some raspberry canes I found in his garden . It looked like a forest . -
Rowen cant get " ash Die back " ( Chalara fraxinia ) because they are not Ash ( Fraxinus ) They are sorbus . That does not mean they can't get something similar . However , I'm going with Kev on this one .
