Try giving Simon a ring at redwoods service department. He's been able to resolve a couple of problems over the phone that had me baffled. Seems to know the machine inside out and has saved taking the machine into the dealers.

:biggrin:I've viewed twice now. Sorry can't help, but will be interested in the replies. You'll get a response, but as there aren't too many millers and furniture makers on here, it might take a day or two. Have you considered getting it kiln- dried? Nice design and some nice timber too

You have some 'unusual' playmates, David. Terrific photos

And you can peanuts, or bananas, or something:confused1:

I wonder where this thread is going to end:lol:

Before worrying about whether they are still 'fit for purpose', I'd try them on. My ex shrunk more than one pair by cooking them. Seriously though, I doubt anyone on here is actually qualified to give anything other than an opinion. For peace of mind, just drop the manufacturers an email and ask. Personally, I'd wear them - but I wouldn't/couldn't advise anyone else

Makes you wonder if running a business is actually worthwhile!

I've done the same by hand, before the use of stumpgrinders and no access for plant. Simply requires a zen like state of mind, a big enough hole and an attitude that when there's no more roots it'll come out. You can't rush stumps
-
Don't know this machine, but I'd be checking the shaft for wear if you've run it that long. It won't do the new bearings much good if it's worn
-
That's done the trick, plot to third party app (as Paul suggested) set to A0 and it's come out fine. I didn't realise that changes in name of printer also gives different choices in sizing too:confused1: Thank you.

I've had a fiskars for ten years. It's had three new heads and two new handles. You know what they say? Look after your rake!

I don't feel that I should be wasting their time on novice user problems, without at least attempting to resolve it myself. (or rather asking the members on here!) If anyone has a bit of spare time to explain how they plot the Tree Protection Fencing layout, in respect to the real panel lengths, that would be really useful. If not I'm sure I'll come across the answer in 'Dummies'. It might not sound it, but I really enjoy working with and learning this. I was staggered to learn that there are over 1300 commands available!

I think there's a dozen or more PDF options in the program to save to. I use PDF24 Creator - a third party app, but also used most of the other save to options as well. Pretty sure it's my setting up as Stumpyb said - I'll try A0 or whatever the original topo was drawn out. Cheers Paul

I think it's all the text. Generally I'll make (freeze?) the layers with spot heights and other text I don't want to unclutter the drawing - so I'm not too sure without looking back. I'm pretty sure it's my fault, in the decisions I make in the plotting process. I normally save as a PDF, paste into a word document and then convert the Doc or DocX to PDF - which probably doesn't help. I might try converting the doc to pdf then add the drawing pdf to it - I think that way it wouldn't go through a file format conversion twice. This will be just something stupid that I'm approaching wrong, I don't mind making a fool of myself on here but would rather not do the same by contacting IT Support at Keysoft:lol:

I did actually do some googling to find that out, but Ctrl+9 led to a fatal error and a program closedown:biggrin: Learning autocad/cad is just like learning a new language, I read the instructions and then need to search elsewhere just to understand what the instructions are saying. I'll get there.
-
Thanks, I'll try that tonight. I'm only just getting used to the command line, I managed to lose it and had to second reinstall to get it back. It wouldn't be too hard to q select as the tree ref numbers are, I think over four tree category layers.

Just pointing out the direction of fell isn't he? Funnily enough, that's a habit that I know I'll occasionly fall into and have to correct. I don't know why, just something I'll do, recognize and correct now and again. -
Can anyone point me in the right direction, before I get thoroughly bamboozled contacting the help desk? I'm using Keysofts LandCad LT, which I understand is run on an Autocad base. Great program, particularly for a novice like me, but I'm running into difficulties when I come to plotting/printing. There's loads of options to print to, but primarily PDF. My problem is, I think, that because I'm starting on topos at A0, plotting the crown spreads/rps's, tree ref no's etc and then printing/plotting to A4 the text becomes unreadaable. If I save as a BAK or DWG it's no issue, enlarging works ok, but once it's in a PDF (A4) any attempt to increase the zoom %age just creates a pixellated mess of the text. I'm halfway through 'Autocad for Dummies' so I may yet find the answer, but it would be handy to get a little guidance if possible. Thanks in anticipation.

What Mark said. If possible get a smaller bucket, most good plant operators I've seen digging stumps opt for a narrow one.

Knew someone had raised the issue somewhere.

I can't remember who commented or where I read it, but it was noted that the common sense risk management document was remarkedly absent from the proceedings. .
