F##c sounds like a nightmare,when I first had my hm130 it took me ages to get the tracking right now I am waiting for my hm130 max I hope I dont have any issues,Chris at woodland mills was telling me that the hm130 max comes all tracked in from the factory .

Hi we have the Makita track saw and its ace ,and I also rate freud blades and a tip I seen somewhere is to use oven cleaner to clean the sticky sap or crud that builds up on a blade,it works fine wire wool and oven cleaner .

Hi what type of mill do you have ,there is a good book by Will Mallof I think and its called chainsaw lumber making ,but thats about it there are books on what timber is good for what but honestly just doing it is the best way to learn I dont think there is a definitive guide book and if you are near Dorset I could do a day or 2 with you

Oh yeah cant wait got some wide monkey puzzle and brown oak in the yard waiting .

F##K reading all this I just ordered a new HM130 max I dont have a forklift though I wish I did ,my pallet truck will lift 2 tonne though and we do have a friendly farmer 5 min up the road but hey if you pay for delivery thats what you expect I dont have a delivery date yet and the old one leaves tomorrow ,cant wait for the new one to arrive .
