  1. 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
  2. it was a brand new blade!
  3. 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!
  4. ok thanks, think i'll have to do some testing to see what works best

  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Get an avant and grab then, that's what I do now
