    I think the generator is not big enough for a 37kw machine. My small mill is 50kw and a gardner 6lx 10.5L 100kva generator that plods away all day and night, long hours is not uncommon whilst using 5-6L diesel an hour - works out about £3 per hour I guess the same as mains. when the generator is under full load running our sander at 100kw the fuel consumption easily doubles and its not too happy

    they will make an example of you, anything to make their figures look good. sorry hope for the best

    zero flex as drum diameter is 260mm and 51'' = 1300mm, machine weighs 4 tons and has 100hp
  6. Graham w
    I got a 51''! would you not be better just mill slowly with stelite blades for a good finish?

    its worth a go problem is that they are that specialised nobody wants to part knowledge etc. although most commonly used as a spotter its an exceptional platform for any application, one day i'll get it to sharpen my chain! (hopefully by the end of the week)

    Hi all this is probably the wrong forum for this but do you know anything about SC4+ M2000 controllers, setup, CAD or calibration??

    our 42 has 800mm cut
  10. Graham w
    a stenner 42 cant have more than an 800mm cut, i'll measure mine tomorrow. the primultini and carriage is a better option but looks like a 1200 pulley with 900mm carriage and maximum log of just over a meter. Interesting to see their asking price

    pics please! set up for a band rack is easy a few points when setting the mill on steel mount the headrig (pulleys) level and place the benches either side, tension up the blade and run a length of high tensile fence wire from end to end of the benches in the center (actually 3mm to one side(frontside)) of the cut line then move the benches so the wire touches the blade. you have a perfectly lined sawmill. bands last forever. I have never bought new ones try and get the motor and starter if possible as they will match cut speed will not be as fast as you think with a steel frame sun light can upset it if its unevenly heated up e.g. front of the bench is heated this causes it to expand and lockup against the rollers all in £10k but could be done cheap £5k trackmet will hold is value, the rackmill is basically scrap ?
  12. Graham w
    we're doing our largest order to date i'll try get photos tomorrow
  13. Graham w
    any pics? sounds like good fun
  14. Graham w
    Excellent idea! Graham Whyte Brenta/stenner tandem 1600 13m x 2.1m maximum cut Inverness , Highland 07522107371 [email protected]
  15. Graham w
    you can easily increase the cut capacity by introducing a spacer block to the main casting thus raising the top pulley e.g. 600mm spacer = 1400mm cut capacity you then have a usable saw ?

    twmarriott was looking for a proper mill a little while ago, this sounds like a 54 i dont want to spoil the fun but there was two 54's with carriages sold for basically scrap value at carlisle few weeks back
  17. Graham w
    no photos of the sawmill till shes up and running (currently in limp mode!)
  18. Graham w
    currently have two staircases and a kitchen in beech this week without trying. we will be handling 400 to 600 tons of beech this year as we'll use it in our workshop, the timbers good be a shame to waste
  19. Graham w
    I've never had a problem with beech infact it sells out quicker than elm! mills well, exceptionally strong and widely available. we have 50 slices 3000x700x50 in stock and happy to mill to any length and size up to 45'

    you could build one or have one built with used parts- that was the best option when i upgraded from circular rack and band rack but it can turn out to be a huge time consumer. I'll do separate thread on the build when its finished?
  21. Graham w
    a band rack and circular are at the commercial end of sawmills available and to reproduce the equipment you have new today would be touching a 100k, no joke a new primlutini 1200 saw head is £55k +vat and its basically a 48(i have the quote?). i bet they haven't broken much in 20 years too because back then stuff had to work unlike today where we have failures due to design parameters. there are a handful of brandnew sub £20k mills up here that are falling to bits after a few days work. i think you will struggle to find a mill for your budget that could be considered an upgrade. sorry if im a little critical
  22. Graham w
    £10 - 15 ft3 average for DF
  23. Graham w
    night and day?
  24. Graham w
    Just noticed i havent put photos of the interior up!

    hi J do you mind sharing why the edger was substandard? thanks Graham
