No wedges surley that will make the saw work harder and he didnt seem to rev the saw to clear it after the cut either i was told to do both by Rob D so might help if you told your mate only trying to help Cheers Mark

Hi Rob I did a load of sweet c nut about 7/8mnts ago and I did that through and through and according to the customer who I bump into every so often it has stayed nice and flat and he didnt even stack it right I did try to tell him but you know how some people can be ,how did it mill I have done 2 lots the first lot was a demo with the mill for a mate who then got one from you ,that one cut like a knife through butter but the next sweet c nut I did wasnt so easy maybee I got my angles slightly out Cheers Mark

Hi talking about chains you should be getting a much better finish on your boards than that its quite rough you should be using a ripping chain as for a saw that breaks down often that would get to me I would save up and get a good saw it will make milling a joy ,I have had fungus like that just treat it with an anti mould stuff hope this helps Cheers Mark
