So I am making another big table and having the same issue I always have when cutting say 6x6 oak legs flat on both ends I don’t have a saw big enough and as far as I can find out neither does any woodshop near me ,cutting with a hand saw is a F###ing nightmare, cutting half way and turning it over is never that good how do you all manage ,looking forward to hearing your replys Cheers Mark

Nice job with the burr. I use Eli Chem for the resin and the glow powder and they are so helpful on the phone ,but taking photos is a nightmare,I have used Easy Composits resin and didn’t think it was as good , there are all sorts of glow in the dark colours on eBay but I have not bothered to order any so can’t say what they are like

Hi oh yes totally F##ed the band it ended up behind the band wheel ,but I thought I would use that one to get it set back up then when it looks good I will change it for the only new one I have left I need to order some more .

Hi guys I have just changed the nylon bushes on my HM 130 and now I want to change the band roller bearings where do you all get yours and do they have a code number .Also having trouble tracking the band I started the mill and tried to make a cut forgetting that I had not tightened the tracking bolts up now the tracking is way out and it all being new to me kinda struggling a bit anyone who has one fancy coming and giving me a hand ,that would be ace Thanks Mark

I have plenty but I can’t understand why it’s not very popular I think it’s ace , it’s stable has really interesting figuring with its notts , admittedly it don’t last outside but for inside furniture it’s ace ,I did some big chunky shelf’s for my daughter and her and her mates all love them,so why do most saw millers not like it ,there is a shop near me that sells pine furniture that is bloody expensive so I really can’t understand why M P is so disliked Cheers Mark

Hi it may be obvious but have you checked the air filter ,on my old 880 the one that got stolen the air filter was always getting full of sawdust making it hard to start and under powered as with most things look for the most obvious first a good clean fresh fuel and then see what happens,good luck hope you get it sorted

Hi yep ,it came from the woodland on the small est I help to look after,had a deal to get it milled but unfortunately the matey F###ed me over and I only ended up with one slab from 3 trees ,but hey what a slab, the Mayer in question had a terrible accident so Carma got him so I didn’t need to , ended up settling our differences and he passed me a couple of jobs funny old life
