Hi guys I finally got a few hours yesterday morning to fit my last new ripper 37 band on my woodland mill 130 , after months of not getting the time ,the matey who rents some space in our workshop hassled me into doing it and with his help we got it tracked in all levelled,super chuffed milled a few small yew boards ,I have already made some ramps not the tidiest weld but it stood up to the lump hammer test ,got some monkey puzzle,holly ,oak going to be busy ,it’s been a long time coming but at last I can do some milling with my new mill will post some pics soon. Cheers Mark

Hi I have thought about changing out the motor but it’s an 8hp motor and apparently they are hard to come by and expensive so if I have to spend £500 or more might as well just get some sort of 3 phase sorted then if more 3 phase kit comes up eg dust extraction,surface planers etc I will be able to run them as well .
-
Hi guys ,so the converter Eggsy was trying to get me turned out to be F###ed so I am still looking for a 3 phase converter or generator if any of you come across anything please let me know Thanks Mark

Hi I have checked with my sparky who revamped our electrics in the workshop and he reckons we are fine as we have 2 , 32 amp scockets one for the welder and another for my girlfriends stained glass kiln but we wouldn’t be able to use them all at the same time

Hi unfortunately 5.5 is just not quite big enough,but the more people I ask the better chance of getting something sorted,so fingers crossed, I have a mate who runs a demolition firm I am going to ask him to keep an eye out for something for me

Hi guys ,just got a nice wide thicknesser so now need to power it so I thought I would ask on hear if anybody has something I can use , I don’t want to start changing things on it as electrics ain’t my thing I need a 6kva supply either a phase converter or genny ,looking around and they ain’t cheap so if anybody can help that would be ace, then hopefully I will have my mill ,thicknesser and kiln all up and running by the new year. Thanks Mark
