Not sure how other models work but our IVT heat pump was set to heat the HW up to 60C once a week. I have adjusted it to only do it once a month now as real world legionella risks from domestic how water appear to be near zero.

If logs are that cheap think about how cheap the wood they were cut from was. How on earth are you going to able to make a living?
-
So how far off was this post? Cant work out how good or bad deal they signed off on. Sharma didn't exactly seem ecstatic about it thats for sure
-
Thats daft though. Not sure I could cut and deliver for that even if the wood was supplied and delivered for free.
-
I will bare it in mind but intend to do some of the sharpens myself if all goes to plan.
-
Used to have that problem with planer knives. They would come back blued, not flat not sharp etc. It's one of the reasons I want to sharpen the bandsaw blades myself.

Most countries run in dept. If we have less people earning we have a lower GDP making us less able to pay back all our depts. Dept forces us into an endless growth spiral I also suspect its why no government tries to sort the housing price crisis. By keeping housing expensive we are forced into hyper productivity just to own a home. This keeps GDP up to pay our vast depts. Guess many of us would ease off the gas if not being throttled by the cost of mortgages.

Should add we are having a short burns most nights. Just going through crates of poor quality offcuts and general dross!

Clutch at these J 😀 Dont hold much merit in long term forecasts myself but hope you are right all the same

I would say around 2/3rds new price and you have over 4k worth there. Try putting it on Arbtrader https://arbtalk.co.uk/classifieds/

We will all be blooding freezing and the government will be getting every last drop of oil out of the North sea leaving Andy laughing all the way to the bank?

I got the ratio wrong see picture in post above. It's thicker than regular rapeseed we use for cooking but not as good a lubricant as the mineral oil. I use it in the processor which delivers a set amount of oil per cut. Its fine if I am cutting smaller wood but when cutting large stuff I notice the bar wear with bio.

Here you go

I have some from Clark Forest and its 99% rapeseed oil. Can check to see what the additive is as as I think it does state on the barrel

Our stove (Saey Scope) was a multifuel. Very early on we took the grate out and the logs just burn on the ash pan. We leave a bed of ash in it so it doesn't burn the the tray. Works better than it did before

I always liked the idea of a carbon tax. You have an allowance that you can use up on what you like ie petrol, flying, beef etc but once you go over your allowance you start getting taxed. The further you go over your allowance the higher the tax rate. It would allows flexibility. I dont want to stop eating meat but live in a lowish carbon house and never fly and would resent a meat tax. Chap down the road who has no car and lives in a tiny flat could fly off to wherever without extra taxes. The rich who chose to do everything will pay plenty of carbon taxes. The tax can be ring fenced to improve insulation, public transport, renewables etc. Probably very complicated to implement but we need to do something and if carbon is the problem just tax carbon

Thanks all for your help. I would have probably bought a smaller mill if it wasn't for the advice on here. The die is cast and the HM130Max it is. If I buy a Logosol B1001 in the next year or two you can all take the piss 😀
-
Think you have sold me on trying to build my own sharpener. Thanks
-
Thats fantastic. I had considered trying to make my own advancer in combination with a chainsaw grinder. Presumably that sharpens the front of the tooth but just a small part of the gullet? I was of the understanding you need to lightly grind the whole gullet or hairline cracks form in the end resulting in blades snapping. Have you had this problem or is just a theoretical problem that rarely happens?
-
"I can't see many seriously chaning their lives voluntarily until it's far too late." And with democratically elected leaders it means it wont happen. Any party who had manifesto policies that would really make a difference (ie will hurt our pockets) wont get elected.
-
Thanks that is a good list. Hopefully got most of that covered. I have a good loader and forks which can get all around the future mill Looking to mainly mill softwoods that dry fast and much of that is for my use anyway. There is fair bit of hardstanding here and I plan to stack as high as possible. Admittedly there is never enough hardstanding but I can make more Already doing logs so have a big chip/sawdust compost heap. All the side boards can go into crates for firewood Looking to build a shed over it with a super strong beam to pop a hoist on to help rotate awkward logs
-
Haha yes you did. I should have put my glasses on 😀

The Grindlux 4000 is the same grinder as Woodland Mills are offering. Think they are selling them for a bit less. Started this thread as I was debating buying it with the mill or going down another rout. Wish I could get them done for £7 but there is little choice down this way. To be fair the £11 each is a delivered price. My thought on set was to do a few sharpens myself and then send them away for a pro sharpen and set. My time is not that precious and I enjoy sharpening things.
-
Just about to buy a mill and realise regular sharpening is essential. Had a quote for getting them done at £11 each. This is going to add up pretty quickly as from what I have read the blades need changing every 1-2 hours of milling. I came across these CBN wheels for Ripper blades and wondering if they will work in a regular electric chainsaw grinder. Would need to make a few mods for the clamping mechanism but that shouldn't be a problem BAT Band saw CBN grinding wheel for Ripper37 bandsaw sharpening disc blade WWW.EBAY.CO.UK CBN grinding wheel for band saw grinding to use on Ripper37 from Dakin-Flathers tooth profile band saw blades.
