    Dead here but January is often quiet for us as everyone gets stocked up before Christmas and then need more next month, I hope
  2. Woodworks
    Glad they got him. Several of places done over where close by. Did't know they had been robed until now

    Think 1.5m3 of tidy roundwood would weigh the best part of a tonne so £50 for that sounds pretty good. Cost that much when you buy by the artic load if decent hardwood.
  4. Woodworks
    But then there is the time and other costs of running a truck. I get lot's of requests to deliver to Plymouth but it's 45 mins away with usual traffic. Tempted at times but not sure it really makes sense.
  5. Woodworks
    Yes but 4 tonne an hour is pretty impressive. I charge £27 per hour plus travel but at best average just over 2 tonne an hour based on a 8 hour day.

    You get 50MPG out of Hiace? My Hilux manages 25mpg doing logs which works out at 22p per mile on just fuel. Keep getting asked to do deliveries 15 mile away but just cant justify it.

    Thanks Morten. Will give that a go
  8. Woodworks
    Like those especially the one piece end grain one. Never seen that done before but looks great

    Might try flipping it around as a test Thanks

    Would have thought it's seasonal snow
  11. Woodworks
    If they pay tip and legit Do they really expect you to clear their drives? Bloody cheek if they do. Not a problem you get down here. Last measurable snow was 6 years ago!
  12. Woodworks
    That's a bugger. Hope tomorrow work out better for you

    Sounds similar. Will try slower next time but not forcing and felt good but clearly something wasn't right. Sharpening wise I am using a guide like in the picture but at 10 degrees not 30. Presume the hook angle is the same as a crosscutting chain?
  14. Woodworks
    Oregon milling chain. Started off flat after first cut but may of developed a bit of a sag as I went down through the log. It's only for a making a few sheep hurdles so wasn't checking but would like to avoid this in future.
  15. Woodworks
    Blade definitely sharp and it is similar to what sometimes happens with a bandsaw but have had that with new blades as well. Was cutting 1" boards. No obvious vibration but wouldn't swear there wasn't.
  16. Woodworks
    Milling up a few boards of scotts pine and get these ripples from the chain in patches yet other areas are smooth. Evenish feed speed and feels the same when cutting where it's happened. No difference before and after sharpening

    Thanks Stubby There would need to be for me to stump at that much extra not that I am keen to buy online from either of them. Happy to pay extra to support a shop with back up

    Two saws that as far as I can tell are identical apart from branding. £150 to have the same machine in orange is never going to happen These are the best prices I can find on them.

    Sorry Rob 0.058 Oregon 21 LPX
  20. Woodworks
    Good to hear Reading up it seems many have had trouble with the 560. Has yours proved reliable?
  21. Woodworks
    Can you do these with a 20" bar
  22. Woodworks
    Was just reading up on the 560xp. Presume they would be more than happy with a 20" bar? It would fill the gap between my other two saws nicely.
  23. Woodworks
    Hmmm thinking more carefully I have a whole roll of .325" chain so maybe best to get the gutsiest saw that would use this maybe with a 20" bar?
  24. Woodworks
    Thanks Rob Had thought in terms of a larger saw but an 18" bar with a narrow chain would probably do 90% of whats needed. What saws would that be suitable for?
  25. Woodworks
    At present just have two saws. A 346XP with a 15" bar and MS460 with stock 25" bar. A lot of my work is ringing up timber thats too big to go through the processor of say 14"-24". Is there a way to put a narrower bar on the 460 and if not whats the biggest saw that can use a narrower chain? Thanks
