Consoled myself with this bit! Bar is a pro-lite.

Thanks. I'll definitely look at replacing the bar. Is there any way to avoid the small log mill's bolts which 'pinch' the bar causing a bulge on the other side of the bar? Do you think that's a sign of over-tightening or reattaching to many times?

Hi, I bought an Alaskan Small Log Mill last year. Although I have managed to mill some very accurate boards (in terms of being of equal depth across the width of the board), I have always suffered from occasional 'wedge-shaped' boards (in my case the depth of the board getting narrower towards the end of the bar). As an fairly inexperienced user, I first put this problem down to not tightening the pinch bolts enough. Now I put it down to the pinch bolts having slightly warped the other side of the bar and affecting the angle that it then projects at. I was wondering if: *anyone has some tips as to what might cause the wedge-shaped cuts *how to avoid the pinch bolts affecting the bar I thought the latter point may be caused by reattaching the mill to the bar too frequently. Thoughts and help appreciated!
