    We have a vast supply of beams that have been air drying over the years so yes if your in the area feel free to pop in, prices do vary depending on size etc and how friendly were feeling 😜

    Just a little note, we used to go through loads of blades due to snapping, the one single way we stopped this is by letting them rest once one has been used we cool it up and don't to uh it for at least 24hrs before we then set and sharpen. Haven't had any snap on us in a long while and as said earlier the only thing we can moan about is how sharp they are, but that's done in house lol

    Ha ha anti sawdust clothing!! I have given up now I just change completely after sawing and have saw specific cloths! Sawdust gets everywhere!! Defo reconend ear muffs though! Dust masks are good but I always find you then can't wear goggles without them misting up! So I just wear goggles and muffs now

    No sawmills near you? Might be worth having it milled up if you can't get the most out of it?

    We always used to rotate and take the best burrs off, this was the customers wish to through and through it

    We just milled up a 7 tonne oak burr for a customer just through and through, he specialises in planks wtc and that's what he wanted the burrs did show in the mudulery ray which looked lovely

    Ha ha no I'm sure moat bits would be available from industrial sullpiers, best this is chat with others who have the same mill they will tell you more than any sales rep or website can

    Not bad prices are there parts backup good? Aftercare is a big must! Especially when your pushing the mill to it's limits!

    Not ultra critical but you do need to get as near as damit, the heDs are set to the bed so should cut as well as there set up, the levelling is more so the motors don't have to work as hard to move up and down the bed, also to have a crane that would lift the size of logs these mills could cut would almost require a seperate trailer! The trailers and heads are designed quite light to help travelling and easy set up so again. Crane would make them a lot heavier to tow around.

    Brilliant, keeping everyone in suspense lol

    This is how we qtr saw our boards the top and bottom lumps are then re sawn on a smaller mill, notice the medullary ray which is only visible on oak if I'm not mistaken
  19. Copford sawmill sussex
