So using ripper 37's so should not be a problem ,all Chris Pierce said to me was not the same tension as Woodland Mills bands and it would be trial and error not the after sales service I was looking for to be honest ,I built it by the book been over it twice with the spanners to make sure everything is nice and tight if I push any slower I will be walking backwards ,as for tension it all looks fine on the visual band stays where its ment to be ,What the F##C am I missing its doing my head in I font mind the wavy lines in this last of the monkey puzzle but I have a big Walnut butt next in the line then 2 mullberry and I want the nice finish I first had ,someone come and help

Hi Les I dont think I am pushing to quick comparing to the vids I have been watching I dont vary the revs that much ,so Woodland have guys in this country any idea how I get in touch with them.
-
Hi Les no I havent thought of that ,where should I be with it not flat out but near would be my guess ,do you think Chris would come down and have a look,I will take a vid on Monday

I think I will send the photo to Chris Pierce and see what he has to say I want to talk to him about the paint starting to peel its kept in a lean too under a tarp f##c I havent had it 12 months .

,So when I first set the mill up it was fine then one of the feet came loose so sorted that and went all round the mill giving every nut and bolt a quick tweek so I just cant understand whats going on ,I did try over tension ,looked at tracking ,saying not to worry and other mills produce this sort of finish ,well when I first had mine it was doing such a good cut I only needed 120 on a sander so obviously I want that back
-
So yeah changed the band set the tendion with the tq wrench and still getti g the same its a band of groves about 6inch wide every foot or so ,and the mill is vibrating a bit much any ideas I will take a vid on monday to see if that helps,doing my head in I have a nice big butt of Walnut next so dont want grooves in it Thanks Mark Thanks
-
Um never heard of them but would defo give them a go where can you get them

I like the resin stuff and the litchenburg ,I love doing both ,but I do think like you Jon the river would look so much better flowing down the stairs if anybody wants a river or any other type of resin and or litchenburg table,box,cupboard etc please do give me a shout ,could do with some work thats for sure ,with no shows,fairs etc
-
Hi are you going to complain to Woodland Mills I think I will

So today changing a band I noticed some of the powder coating is starting to peel already, my mill is in a lean too and covered with a tarp when not in use, I haven't had it that long, and its a Sawmill its meant to be outside anybody else had this problem Cheers Mark

What's the better bar for plunge cutting?
gobbypunk replied to ChainsawAl's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Yep same as -
Hi mate I looked into 3 phase options for ages talked to people who make the phase converters and I think at 13k you would need a rotory converter and it would be expensive I can give you Pete at Transwave Converters if you want he is a font of knowledge and would probably have a good idea

I have my chainsaw tickets and nobody has ever asked to look at them even when I got my 880 and that could do some damage in the wrong hands but as I dont have a climbing ticket I cant buy a top handle saw ,now thats mad
