    So spoke to Chris from woodland today and he told me to check the rails and it turns out the nuts have come loose and the rails are not true any more and proving to be a real F#####G pain to get right again ,I would pay someone to come and do it for me. Ha ha

    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.
  16. gobbypunk

  17. gobbypunk
    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
  19. gobbypunk
    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
