Hi, off the back of this thread I had a good look at the 130 max with a view to a future purchase and it looks like a well engineered solid bit of kit.... my only experience of band mills is with an old Norwood and the 130 looks head n shoulders above that, hope you don't have to wait too long, cheers.

Aye, but the spalted log looked a bit dead 🙄 but we'll not have long to wait for a leaf. '

1 more for Birch... half rotted

I'm agreeing with Andy on this they'll rot anyway...... I build my raised beds with 150 x 22 tanalised sarking / fencing boards and I line them with visqueen to keep the soil off. But if you've already got the boards this stuff's quite good, but I'd still stop the soil from contacting the boards, cheers.

If your talking about Little Feat I was the same, after all you couldn't afford to buy everything back then... I revisited them a few years ago and just bought it all on cd... Lowell George was in the Mothers early on, until Frank told him to start his own band and although his stuff's completely different you can hear the influence hear and there. And the dual lead in that Eden vid fairly takes me back...

Being very young I didn't see him till 1972 😄 and then a further twice in Glasgow, liked his first few albums the most along with the Taste stuff although I've got most of them. As per your last posts I saw Zappa 3 times... would have been 4 if he hadn't of broken his leg, but sadly never got to see Jimi. And yeah, I remember East of Eden. And yes, always hard to lose cherished items to theft, cheers. And I'll throw this in..

Here you are Stubby, he liked AC30's too

These things need switched on every day... don't you know that 😂

I know it looks counter intuitive but that's the right way, I have a telescopic joint at roughly the same place on my flue due to living in a wood cabin that moves seasonally. If the pipe was joined the other way creosote and or moisture would run out of it. Also the sliding joint in my flue is a fairly slack fit in order that it can move without becoming coked up and jammed... nothing ever comes out of it due to the draw when lit. Assuming that your flue is attached at roof level then there will always be a point where movement will take place due to the expansion and contraction change in flue length when going from cold to full tilt. I can see the full inside length of my flue from stove to roof, about 8 feet, and over that small distance there's about 3/16" movement of the flue so if yours is longer that'll explain the marking on the stovepipe joint. No idea about the smell... something nasty behind the throat plate ? Cheers.

Hi, many of the bits on that machine look the same as my Metabo HC 260 which I'm very happy with as a more than entry level machine, most of it above the stand apart from the switch gear and plastic knobs look very much the same...if that's the case spares are available in UK 👍 Metabo HC 260C Planer Thicknesser 2200W 240V - 0114026038 │ Planer Thicknessers │ www.toolchimp.co.uk WWW.TOOLCHIMP.CO.UK Metabo HC 260C Planer Thicknesser 2200W 240V - 0114026038

Ah... I see, if your commercial then I guess it won't be cheap, I don't like to think about the dosh I've spent on various insurances throughout my working life. On the other hand if your stuff is just personal, like mine is now, you can probably / maybe get it on your home insurance as mine is.... up to a point, cheers.

Hi, is there some difference between insuring a mill and other tools and equipment, assuming that it's not left anywhere unsecured ?

I see we have similar taste.. one of my first albums back in the day and yes reading the lyrics does give me goose bumps.. not alone in wondering what he could have gone on to do, cheers.

Yeah, thought it might have been on before. more than 18 million views 5 years ago.... but good to find, cheers.

Just found this guy and I thought I'd share..... apologies if it's already been posted.

Yep, I read all his posts and a few notable others as well when it comes to repairs they know there stuff and with the huge number of different models around today there's always a gem of new [ to me ] info to be had. I mostly use Stihl stuff these days, by accident really.... I started out with Husky , a couple of saws and a stonecutter but when they got knocked it was only s/h Stihl stuff that I could find and that's how it's gone ever since... the saws I've got are all getting old but I like them and they'll probably see me out.. only ever got 1 new and that's the Stilh msa. Got a couple of 266's though 😁👍

That explains it then 👍

Just curious why.. and is this the newer stuff or just all there stuff... and in comparison to what ?

It'll be interesting to find out what the latest up to date info on the subject is 👍

Very nice work you do, and yes the wasps can easily ruin a lot of nice wood, learnt that the hard way. Very little European larch here although it can be found, most Jap or perhaps hybrid which I find can be frustratingly full of tensions but I do like it all the same. A good combination up here in the wet west is Douglas for the frame and Larch cladding, cheers.

That's my take on it, if I try to detect through a dry beam for instance I don't get as clear a result to a standing or newly felled tree that may have wire at fence height. I joined this forum about 7 years ago to ask this question when I first got into milling and there have been many different views and experiences posted since then... the subject is quite hard to research and I did as you suggest, phoned round various dealers with mixed results until one guy gave me C Scopes number and I ended up taking to the owner / head designer who gave me a lot of tech info which led me to the 4pi.... second hand, which I always felt slightly guilty about😊 As tech moves along and milling gets more popular I wouldn't be surprised if there's better advice and detectors out there as mine is quite old now. I don't do anywhere near the milling as others on here and use an ms650 36" / 3/8" set up... a lot of the wood I get comes from in and around gardens / field margins with plenty of scope for metal but so far I've detected plenty and managed to avoided anything nasty, 🤞 good luck

Yep, that's the one I've got, had a quick look on ebay and only new ones at the moment but they do turn up s/h... I'm no expert, my only experience is with the 4pi but there's many other brands so I suppose you could compare claimed specs to find similar or better.... According to various inputs on previous threads detecting in general seems to be a bit of a dark art and like you said Garrett get a good name.

Hi, pulse induction types normally meant for wet sand etc seem to be the most reliable, none will be perfect as in see metal deep in the tree when crosscutting big stuff... but once you start slabbing most should be able to pick up any metal in the depth of the next cut at least, cheers.

Yep, I don't have 3 phase but then I'm just milling for my own project, I totally get the s/h value thing... in my experience often you can get a good buy s/h simply because the previous owner lost interest and the equipment did very little... you just need to bide your time and be lucky, cheers.

Yeah, I've only watched the Logosol official vids and also not seen many user reports.. I'm quite impressed by the set up in general but as with anything I buy the same as you, noise would be a main consideration.. although in a 1 off buy I'd probably go for the most versatile option I can get, which from a size point of view is probably a band saw, a small engine makes no noise in comparison to a chainsaw, cheers.
