Something like this. Leaning birch 70 odd foot, really bad at the bottom.

It caught me out. You have to go into cart/basket, not straight to checkout. H.T.H Pete

Thanks Rob you are a gentleman.

Oh Bugger! didn't find the postage reducer thingy and it cost me £8.95 for postage. Grrrrr

I have had failures using the original Alaskan mill, but that is milling big timber and using a winch, which does put much more strain on the components. I bought one of the Chinese copies to see what the quality was like. They are good value for money, but the build quality and materials are inferior to the original. I go along with RobD's comments (OK I know he's biased), these mills are useful but I would not like to use the bigger mills without a lot of extra bracing. I would guess that up to 24" will be OK but anything bigger I would be putting in some extra braces which then adds extra cost to the mill. My general philosophy is for one off jobs buy cheap and wreck it, or for ongoing work buy the best and look after it. Obviously these are just my opinions/observations, others may disagree. Pete

Either way will probably work, just make sure the ply extends a good distance front and rear, to give you a good lead in and out. Oh and don't forget to wedge the cut. I usually use 3, one at the back and 2 at the sides just before I'm going to break through. Hth Pete

Hi Steve, I assume you want to cut rings of equal thickness. I've done this by using a decent piece of plywood attached to the face and using the Alaskan with normal chain. Hope this makes sense

They are clevis joints, see here Clevis Joints HTH. Pete

Sorry Billhook, I have no videos of its use, I'll try to get some pics and description of using it. Basically the rods that are attached to the front dogs are spring loaded to prevent kickback. The jubilee clip is used as a depthstop for doing blind mortices. I usually attatch a piece of wood to the fence post to rest the bottom of the dogs on to keep the mortice level. Will try to get a vid done but it may be some time as I'm a bit busy at the moment. Pete

This is the morticer that I use for oak fencing. May not be top class engineering, but it works

New Chainsawbars website look and feel... feedback please
Pete W replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
One thing Rob. The search function, if I want say a D009 mount bar, and type that in it doesn't come up with a list of available bars. I find that I have to go through some of the saw options to find the bar I want. Or it could just be me being inept. Cheers, Pete. -

Glad to see someone else has good taste. :thumbup:

Hi Andrew, took the PS-35 for a run out this week and I must say I'm well pleased with it. The narrow bar and light weight makes it ideal for poking into coppice stools and carrying it around the woods clearing deer fences of windblow and overhangs. Its only had to cope with a max of 12 inch oak up to yet but pulled through that without complaining. It has even found a friend in one of its bigger "cousins" Cheers Pete

MS 361 handles most things 025 used and abused for 20 odd years 7910 just makes me smile 5105 goto saw Not sure about number 5

Thanks for that, pm'd the order. Cheers Pete

Hi Andrew, I'm looking for a new coppicing saw, 35 to 40cc on a 14" Bar, wondered what you had available in that range. Thanks Pete

Thanks shavey for sorting my parts query on a Sunday night, fantastic service. Top bloke. Pete

Hi Andrew, can you help with some Dolly spares? I'm after: clutch drum 181223062 3/8" 7 rim for above air filter 181173240 Thanks Pete
-
It's for the smaller Dolly/Maks, as you say very similar to thek095
-
Contact shavey on here, he can supply the parts needed (only a few quid) to convert to D009 mount, which will give you loads of bars to choose from. see post http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/84360-dolmar-10.html#post1311991 Pete

I only have one comment on this thread [ame] [/ame] Pete

Not some form of Juglans is it?

Very cool way of winching your Alaskan up the log
Pete W replied to Rob D's topic in Panther Mill UK
Hi, I've shortened the handle, stops it whacking my elbow when taking the mill back to the start of the log. Kept the ratchet as it stops the winch releasing when you're putting the wedges in. Just my opinion. Pete -
A quick thought, fix a piece of plywood to the vertical mill and run the guide along the edge of the rail. A test cut would give you the clearance required.
