Hi everyone ,so quite a while back there was a few posts about spraying boards with Borax to treat against mould and wood munching Beatles so I have been using it for yrs but a few weeks ago I mentioned it to a matey who also mills and sells timber and he was saying its bad for you its banned etc etc but you can make slime for the kids our of it everything I have read is just conflicting so do any of you have any info on it . Thanks. Mark

Like I said never used it and trying to have a bit of a clear out so thought I would ask on hear first
-
I have always used 50:1 on the 2 stroke and always a good make same as chain oil as long as it’s a good make but I don’t like this Bio Oil for milling as it ain’t that sticky to get to the end of a long bar

Thanks guys as I dont get the Alaskan out as much as I used to before I broke my Ankle things that used to be so obvious get a bit foggy so as its looking like a few more Alaskan jobs coming up I think its time to look for a new 4ft milling bar what would you lot recommend . Thanks guys
-
Hi Rob I think you are right I remember having issues when I first got the Alaskan but that was so long ago I just can remember properly
-
Yeah like I said when I use the shorter Sugi Bar I dont think I get these issues
-
I will start it up with the side cover removed and see if it comes out Thanks. Mark

Hi Spud yeah its prob one of the last ones sold before they stopped making them
-
Anybody else have any ideas on what the issue with the chain tension might be
-
Its almost brand new even though I have had it for a few yrs now it dont get used that often its prob only got 20 ish hours of work its done I always slacken the chain off after use so the crank isnt under preasure ,I am sure I can remember having issues with this 4ft solid nosed bar when I first had the Alaskan but cant remember
-
Hi so I havent had my 4ft milling bar out in a long time but had it out for a job today and I know it isnt a sprocket nosed bar but the chain tension was all over the place I would set it then as soon as I introduced the mill into the log it would just go real slack but if I kept going a little it would tighten a tad then finish the cut and rev the saw to clear it switch it off and it would be slack refuel and look again and tight so I dismantled the whole thing rebuilt it all and it didnt make any F###ing difference so any ideas what is going on ? It really really did my head in !!! Looking forward to your thoughts Cheers. Mark

Hi if you can build youself a lean too ,to work under it will keep the sun off the carving until you can finish it but it is best to finish it asap before you loose your way with it -

Looking good mate -
Yeah he did but when I bought the converter the company said it would be fine and to start with it was.

My 2ft wide thicknesser was a real pain to move and its just not right ever since the old boy I got it off was saying to me it should do a full turn of the depth cut wheel and just chew through even Burr Oak but I struggle to get a quater turn and the only thing thats changed is the location of the machine unless my 3phase converter isnt giving it enough umph, just be carefull moving it It looks like a good bit of kit
