HI Skyhuck so while milling even with a short break between planks ,coffee etc the chain would not cool over much so as long as I loosen the chain at the end of the day it should not dammage my crank I hope what do you think Cheers Mark

Thanks guys I kind of thaught that was what was going on will have to get a sprocket nosed bar from Rob D only £200 money well spent how much heavier would an aux oiler make the mill set up its heavy enough as it is Cheers Mark

I would look at hudson saws the importers are called just saws I think for an 18 inch wide cut they are about £2000 I have the phone number for them around somewhere I will look it out and post it up for you I am saving up for one myself I think woodmizer are doing a saw at about £4000/5000 so I would go for the hudson defo but other people may differ Cheers Mark

Hi not sure when dammage happend I dismantled the mill to use the big saw for a bit of felling then at a show re assembled mill but when I fired it up to start with as I bliped the throttle the chai went very slack so i tightend it up but the chain did not seem blunt but I have had the chain bind a few times when exiting a cut maybee that caused it I spose I will have to do some milling and see what happens ,any excuse to get the mill out I have a nice big stick of ceder of leb waiting in the yard ,and no I cant remember a log taking a long time to mill Cheers Mark

Hi Tony I know what you mean wish I had my mill 10yrs ago a few teething probs but I will soon sort it building a lean too at my yard so even the rain will not be able to stop me I love turning over the first cut and seeing what the grain is like its like opening a prezzy every time ace
-
Yeah, I was really lucky getting wood like that from my first ever use of my Alaskan and I really enjoy hearing what everyone sees in the pattern, loads of different stuff - I should name it the Rorchsac (not sure how to spell that!) Table. Cheers for your feedback, Mark
-
Would like to show you some pic's of the table I've just finished using some gorgeous book-matched spalted beech planks, which were also the first planks I milled when I got my Alaskan mill. This one's also for sale, so PM me if anyone's interested! Cheers Mark

Hi Agg I am using home made wooden wedges but now you mention the end of the cut I have had a few times when the saw has not come clean out of the cut sort of snagging up do you think I should get some new wedges or just tap them in further Cheers Mark
