Hi you can get a backing pad and discs from screwfix so much better than a flap disc filling sander other people call them power file its like a small belt sander but you can do so much with one the makita one is the best but not cheap ,where to in the country are you based ,you are welcome to come visit and have a gander at the power tools I use and do some carving it would be a good excuse to do some carving havent done any in like ages .Cheers Mark

Training course UK for chain sawmilling/processing

Hi I would be up for helping put a course together maybe a few of us could do something between us -
Hi a total must is a 4 and a half inch grinder with a backing pad that you can put like a 24 grit pad on ideal for rough shaping die grinders are also cool but I think my filling sanded would be another must but dont get the black and decker one they are crap

Hi I have just set up my woodland mills hm130max and I am totaly happy with it the up grades from the old hm130 make it so much better to use the small things like auto lock head the amount of times I forgot to lock that little peg in on my old one and the auto lube the way it sprays onto the band instead of dripping I was always wondering if it was set right so yeah totaly happy with it but they need to up their game with the delivery they tried to deliver mine the lorry was too big for my track so they drove away and didnt even let me know a week later and a load of phone calls finally got it sorted then it was a massive ball ache getting it off the lorry the crate was wider than the sides of the lorry so had to wiggle it onto the tail lift sketchy,but apart from that the actual sawmill is ace

Mind you she is pulling a big one

Yep get a sacrificial bolt and wind it in slowly it might cut a new thread ,or how friendly are you with your local tractor repairers maybe you could leave a deposit and borrow a tap the right size I have done things like it in the past ,good luck with it .

Yeah was just saying there are so many diffrent types of oil ,mineral,semi synth and synth honestly the rack with the oil was massive ,so with a brand new mill defo had to have good oil.
-
The 130Max is so ,much better the auto water feed ,the auto lock rise and fall are just so much better .
-
Thanks guys ,God there are so many diffrent oils to choose from ,I normally buy cheap and cheerfull for my old diesel van so looking for a good quality oil and it aint cheap but yeah as its brand new then got to look after it ,I do wish the lean to that my mill is in was bigger will have to extend it in the spring and think of a way of putting a movable front on it to keep the weather off the mill ,that lean to is where I fell off that bloody ladder and did my ankle in .
