So very funny I knew I was in for some piss take when I wrote it but hey cookies ovals,platters whatever you want to call them whats the best way to secure the Log to the mill to cut on a 45%.
-
So I want to have a go at cutting cookies but never have so I am guessing that I just ratchet strap my butt to the mill on like a 45% and just cut them ,is that how everyone else does it as always keen to hear your thoughts. Cheers Mark

Its the principal not the amount did we all agree to this No we didnt ,we dont get anything for our 40 quid its taking the Piss you can look up all sorts of my personal data at companies house no not happy we need a revolution a new way of doing things the one we have at the just aint that good

Hi mate thats totally cool you should be chuffed amazing build ,what thickness ply did you use I have some void less ply for sale 4 and 6mm was used for jigsaw making PM me if interested , looking forward to seeing it with a seat if you have one what will you finish it with a lot of boat builders use West Systems Resin
-
No on the website it says if you are using cctv to deter crime you must pay even if you have dash cam in work truck ,but there is a simple questionaire one thing I think it said was do you use peoples data but that could be anything a delivery address or where to take that tree down it all could be called data ,its a bloody Piss Take if you ask me
-
If I take my time boards coming off the mill are quite good and by flipping the board every pass or 2 you can get a good result but looking for a surface planer /thicknesser we bought a 12inch fox machine dont bother it was a toy went strighgt back so for 24 inch wide boards the thicknesser is fine .
-
So have any of you heard of the ICO data protection commissioners ,we got a letter from them stating if we porcess personal data and or use cctv at our yard for crime prevention we must pay a fee even if you have a dash cam in your work vehicle they want you to pay a Data Protection Fee ,seems like something Al Capone would have come up with but hey our governments are the biggest bunch of gangsters ,I was so F###ed Off ,taking the Piss I thought ,just wondering if anyone else had come across this . Cheers Mark

I was put on to a mobile engineer it was expensive but he got it done ,turns out the old boy who had it had a big flood and even though it worked after it all dried out the big achme screws that opperate the table are housed in a cavity with a plate on top and the threads were all gummed up with like a concrete stuff and it still had some flood water in it so loads of scraping carefully cleaning spray ,and it has a sort of clutch on the power rise and fall the plates were polished shinny so not working now thats all done as well ,I could have done it myself if I had known all about it but now having been there sort of helping I know a lot more about the machine so all good and if anyone needs a mobile engineer just ask me for his phone number . Cheers Mark
