So I ordered some ripper 37 bands from Stephen Cull and as I was just replacing a ripper 37 there should have been no issues with the band tracking but there is it’s coming off the rear of the band wheel ,any ideas what’s going on what am I missing. Thanks Mark

Hi that log deck looks cool I think I might need to build myself one .
-
Thanks guys , I always try and see if anybody on here has any bits and bobs I might need as I would rather give a few quid to a fellow arbtalker than a stranger on fleabay I am going to drill a tiny hole in the saw body then screw in a small hook and that should do the trick I will take some photos as I do it . Thanks Mark

Hi I have just inherited 2 ms180,s and both of them have the same problem and that is the clip that holds the trigger bar to the saw near where the off wire is has broken off and it’s part of the sawbody I think I have a way of mending it but need the on off leaver bar ,would any of you have a trashed one I could get the bit from, or the whole saw body if I can get both on the go then I will have a practice saw for my girlfriend and a backup carving saw , Thanks in advance. Mark

Hi guys I just can’t understand why so many people don’t like monkey puzzle it’s very stable ,looks ace and quite rare for milling ,so what’s not to like

Hi Muttley ,take some good gloves those spikey bits that stick out are way sharp we moved one last summer and got loads of tiny cuts from it the bark itself is quite sharp ,and it’s bloody heavy,but the boards I have milled are ace and it’s very stable ,the resin that pours out of it is sticky as fuck and the bees love it , I am defo glad I went through all the ball ache to get it don’t know if it’s worth much nobody wanted to buy any but hey I will just make stuff from it .Good luck with it and do post some pictures. Cheers Mark

Hi I use an 880 with my Alaskan so any big saw a 660 no smaller or similar have a look at Chainsaw Bars web site and Rob D is a font of knowledge,if you want to come and have a go before buying any kit come down to Dorset one day no worries.

Hi mate I totally agree I am already talking about some sort of loader ramps are ok but getting the big heavy log from where it got dumped in the yard last thing in the dark knackered covered in sawdust to the bloody ramps is turning into an issue but hey it’s all in a days work
-
Hi guys ,so I have been thinking and I know it’s dangerous but when Chainsaw milling wedges are important so with a bandsaw mill why don’t we need them is it the narrow kerf would a wedge or two help in heavy timber
-
Not bad is it your first one ,get some images to work from or models a grinder with a rough pad is a good investment,I use one on my owls I sand the head as I find most people like to run their hands over them as nice timber is so tactical and it helps with sales ,keep practicing there is always a new trick to learn Good luck and have fun with it don’t worry about making firewood I have made loads . Cheers Mark
-
Yeah get a mill but be warned it’s just like crack milling is addictive I love it every time you turn over the first board and see the grain .
-
Hi I think the Chinese ones Rob D sells are about £150 ,do you have a big saw you could use with it
-
Hi yep Stephen Cull is the man for bandsaw blades I ordered new bands and they were waiting for me on my back step the next day when I got home from work and for trouble shooting total nice guy when I explained that I was totally new to bandsaw milling ,he says I am always on the other end of the phone if you get stuck give me a call ,just like Rob D a total asset to our industry ,
-
Hi mate why not get yourself an Alaskan and mill some of it .
-

Hi Josh , I am in Dorset and if you are up for coming and helping that would be awesome, I have a woodland mill so if we had time we could cut some proper quarter sawn slabs and some of them would be about 2 ft wide I think there are some photos of the butt on hear somewhere. Cheers Mark
