  1. have you checked the XYZ switch on top of the gearbox? they are known to have issues on the auto i went through 2 of them when i had mine
  2. can u somehow move the block or do away with that one and get a different one on my little wessex i was about to move the block round to the side and just fit a lever, and swapped a couple of hoses round if not, could speak to Flow Fit online, they are helpful on hydraulic stuff for splitters
  3. to make it worse he was doing it for free just to piss off the competition

  8. not sure what connections your laser has but i just got one of these with the rest of the stuff Power Cable USB to 5.5 x 2.1mm Socket 1000mm - OdicForce ODICFORCE.COM Cable to connect USB power supply to a 5.5 x 2.1mm plug.
  9. yes, alot better thank you i'm trying a few different things, screen wash, traffic film, pine sol, washing up liquid so will see how they compare
  10. the makita one is only 5v output , the makita code is DEAADP05 i did just try and look what the dewalt output is but i can't seem to see it... however, phones are normally charged at 5 volts so i guess it must be 5v output too
  11. ok great, thank you. will give it a go 👍
  12. he got back to me this am, few things, could be useful to others too; spruce is very woolly and blunts blades quickly more important to keep blades really sharp, change as soon as the edge starts to go, rather than increasing the set scots pine is terrible for gumming up with resin, so use plenty of water ripper blades should perform well as standard on low power sawmills like mine so will be doing some more testing and see how it goes 👍 thanks all
  13. it was a brand new blade!
  14. saved having to physically move to the back of the machine, u stand in 1 place and smash through logs happened when i was splitting some nasty dry oak for my cousin - typical!
  15. ok thanks, think i'll have to do some testing to see what works best
  16. pm sent
  17. I guess this wouldn't have happened if I left my kentic splitter as 2 handed But it was a good enough reason to buy a processor 😁
  18. As others say, have been for quite some while The cages on domestic ones look like dog crates!
  19. Thanks Everyone seems to say something different! I've been told to use only water, some say add a bit if washing up liquid which is what I've been doing Thought the screen wash was only necessary in winter 🤔

  23. not many at all as only just got it. i did adjust the throttle a little as it has stretched a couple of mm i'll clean the clutch out and see if i can see anything going on in there defo is pretty wet timber they are Ripper37 blades, which i believe are 10 degrees thank you
  24. On the sawmill, cutting some softwood and the blade seemed to be jamming in the log then riding the clutch, resulting in the clutch getting very hot. Thought blade was done so swapped it out, but still doing it. Did couple of cherry logs the other day, absolutely fine. They were down about 4 yrs before I milled. The softwood has been down about 8 months Any ideas please
  25. Get an avant and grab then, that's what I do now
