isnt this what Matelot is pushing for? not giving terrorism a platform
-
yes i did. truth is most on here will have a much better wage than me and i will start tomorrow -188 too far to turn back
-
no not exactly, you almost had me yard, tractor, teli, truck, fuel and some attachments
-
108 is reasonable. I did a very quick break down of figures that resulted in 188 per day to work a two man team before wages. scary stuff

Heres your chance to get a Guillet carriage mill for milling hardwood up to 4'. it appears to be missing a guide counter weight and some basic health and safety but apart from that its in working order Saw mill | eBay I am tempted. its like a must have and in the 1920s would have been the rolls royce of sawmills available!

this is where it gets confusing

further digging from a random accountants website, The United States has a system of sales tax that is charged at the state level rather than at the federal level. Most states choose to charge it, and the rate varies considerably, from 1% to 16%. However, this should not be added on goods that are exported from the USA into the UK. Instead, UK VAT at 20% is normally paid on import, and a UK VAT-registered business can reclaim that same amount from HMRC by including it as input VAT in box 4 of their regular VAT return, subject to the normal rules about recovering input tax. is this about right?
-
hi any equipment imported from the states to the uk is hit by duty of around 3% and vat @20%. can you claim the vat amount or is it gone forever? thank you
-
yes would you like some:lol: The problem is the vast volume of slabwood produced, I give it away most of the time but i discourage public collection so i then end up delivering bulk loads to here and there. The majority of slabwood goes to estates that have large biomass setups where they have it chipped. The problem here is theres too much additional handling = cost Having it chipped as it leaves the mill is much more economic/efficient and means i can directly supply the chip for next to nowt, and we're due a kiln upgrade- why not fuel it with chip. Im really impressed by the figures from gdh. its a goer
-
thats very good, i guess i will be aiming for similar figures. thank you:thumbup1:
-
what volume of chip can you get through in a length of time?
-
hi all looking at having a chipper in line with the new sawmill to deal with our slab wood problem, which looks like a must have because i can then sell all waste wood for heating and use some for kilns/ workshop heating etc. but mostly all wood chip produced will be 40%+ moisture and not much use. What is the best way to do this (dry it in the kiln! lol) thanks
-
that was Mr Geddes at Dundonnell sawmill. The mill was still available 6 months ago and i think it moved to a local cladding supplier, it had a mounted blade sharpener and 7 meter tables?
-
for larch i would like to see a large knife behind the blade and wedges on hand, also how did you get on with the blades? the teeth look like simonds 3 x 9 insert - gotta love a big circular mill!
-
Ive just watched it on youtube, a very capable setup and it was recommended by a friend thats also installed one down south. There dose not seem to be much hope for the forestor sawmills as they haven't responded to my emails and my saw doctor has described their build as 'soft' as well as software issues with the older mills mebor looks like a serious contender
-
alternatively the pezzolato/forestor super-profi 1400 with a 12m bed (if they would do it) looks superb Super-Profi 1400 | Pezzolato
-
Thank you, I will try and call tomorrow however if you can find any information on the WM4250 it would be much appreciated as im still waiting for a reply from WM...
-
that rules out the wm range, i have been spoilt with wide bands but they have their downsides too, heavy too handle, expensive to sharpen, expensive to buy, clumsy to store, and they can wander a full 25mm if they want too what is your opinion of the trac-met i remember you mentioned substandard hydraulics?
-
exactly my thoughts. The mill that im after has to replace three rack mills without the down time. Ideally i would like the best mill that covers accuracy above all, production and ease of use. After a short conversation to WM usa there was a hint that the wm4000 would be touching its limits and additionally i should buy a WM1000 for the really ugly logs. The problem is that the WM1000 is not orientated around production work and thats two machines
-
Hi guys, I really need to upgrade my rackmill and was recommended a WM4000. I have doubts on running a mill with a narrow blade but thats because we hired someone many years ago with a portable woodmizer to mill wood with ?blunt blades. Its main use would be cutting cladding, framing and beams mainly from softwood. I also have no experience with a horizontal mill can anyone give their opinion on the day to day running of a wm4000 or equivalent mill and any other heavy duty mill. many thanks Graham
-
omg im about to throw up
-
what make of blade is it? you should be able to get inserts from Lancashire saw co. or easiest thing to do is have them service your blades (hammer and tip) Lancashire Saw Company Ltd Imperial Industrial Estate, Gorse Street, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB1 3EU United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0) 1254 51116 have fun:thumbup1:

Crocadon Sawmill Closing down Sale 16-23 Feb

also air brakes usually with ABS and a steering box is required. a nice touch the masseys have is they are 40k at 1500rpm and 40mph at 2200rpm. i really fancy the mb 1500 or 1600 only if i can find one thats in good order and the aim would be to build it into a forestry tractor as they are compact vs equivalent machines, i do like the idea of the fastrac but i dont like the poor reputation

i will give you £3150:thumbup1:
