Wouldn’t have known there was even one on 🤷‍♂️, but after a quick google search I’ll have to say I’m impressed sir 👍👍much appreciated especially at a 1/4 of the price.

Did think of that and easy to get but looking for something a bit more robust and permanently fixed.

I don’t have any but I’m in the process of putting the parts together to make a blade lube system similar to the cooks set up and these fit the bill.

Hi Just wondering if anyone has any of these kicking about spare. No doubt well made but certainly pricey. Happy to look at alternatives that would do the same job. cheers

Yeah the replacement ones when they wear out are in two halves ( the head has noticeably more movement on the uprights when they get worn) . The devils vomit and building a sawmill probs ain’t the best combo 👍

Are the guides 1 piece or 2 I know the replacement ones are 2 piece to allow them to be fitted whilst mill is built. We took the retaining plates off and warmed the plastic guides up plus a bit of lube then slid them on and refitted the retaining plates. Fiddly but doable although easier with assistance.

I’m in Glasgow right now I’ve had a tits full of cop 26 and the behaviour of the police and so called global elite that are here right now. I’ve read the posts on that subject. It’s good your moving onto something even bigger and more worrying for you.

I’ll take the 130 if you upgrade 😀👍

Not quite sure how it’s a laughing emoji moment but if you think it’s funny hundreds of thousands of people are having to take to streets in order to protect their livelihoods and way of life then I guess that sums you up.

Global priorities?? I thought we were supposed to be in the midst of a global pandemic or was that yesterday’s scare story. Honest 42 I think if MSM gave you a pint of horse piss and said it was lager you’d swallow it and convince yourself it was Carlsberg.

Tens of thousands of COP26 protesters march in huge climate change rallies APPLE.NEWS Environmental activist Greta Thunberg has branded the COP26 summit in Glasgow a "two-week long celebration of business... Strange that the media covers this yet won’t show hardly anything regarding the hundreds of thousands on the march daily regards covid restrictions and passport mandates.

With hindsight I’d probably sacrifice a little width of cut for the ability to run bigger band wheels and wider stiffer blades.

Go static with bigger band wheels and a wider blade bud 👍

I’ve heard of this zen like state of wide throats and high speed straight cuts Andy 😀

How Boris Johnson's pledge to end forest destruction ignores 25m trees Britain is burning for biomass APPLE.NEWS Drax's 'green fuel', which is made from wood pellets, produces more carbon than coal, scientists warn Hopefully a little bit of recognition that the whole bio mass con is not all it’s made out to be. £2.3million per day is an eye opener.

Truthfully a 130 will do you fine for 4k ish and knock out all the stuff you require no probs. If worried about the weather a good tarp will see you through until you get the shed sorted. I’m sitting with a nearly £30k Trakmet mobile set up but am seriously considering getting another 130 keeping it static in a lean too etc and just using that for day to day tasks that do not need anything bigger to accomplish. Having owned a 130 previously I’m well aware of its limitations etc but would easy purchase another which I guess says something.

The rollers are what you will find on all the better more professional machines. There is downforce on the blade from the roller hopefully the pic explains that. You most definitely don’t want the back of the blade touching the shoulder on the roller that will wreck the blade in no time. The woodlands hybrid bearing and guides type set up works fine from my experience with the 130, although it has no downforce on the blade as such, I’ve seen a lot of articles on Norwood owners ditching the ceramic guides for rollers. The learning curve and info to get these things to cut correctly is not to be underestimated, Ive picked the brains off loads of people to solve issues. Just when you think you’ve cracked it there is always something to fetch you back to earth with a bump. I’d thoroughly recommend trying to find someone within travelling distance whom has a mill to get a look etc at what’s what, there’s no shortage of them out there or people using them on here.

Well you can it it depends on how many you plan to go through I use a local saw doctor whom does a great job which has been good enough for me, I have recently though had the chance of a dinasaw sharpening machine which I’ll probably go for. 130 is an ok machine for sure, likes being under cover if you can do that as the paint and galvanising is ok to middling at best. With hindsight I wish I’d kept mine and set it up permanently in a lean to or something similar, super easy to just knock something up on for very little effort.

Woodlands 130 was a great little mill I found, if you have the ability to load logs and flip them etc you are laughing. For cutting normal every day structural timber etc I’d say that would be totally fine. Ripper37s are a good option for those too. Sometimes ultra wide mills are a bit of a double edged sword, yes you can slab big logs but you will not be able to push it through smaller stuff as fast plus blades etc are a lot more expensive. I always found with my 130 it was the physical limits of loading and turning logs that stopped me before the mill capacity.

I used to get custom made offset sprockets for a crf 250 engined quad that KIK Honda at clithero built I’m pretty sure it was Talon engineering that supplied them.

Had a few pieces recently, only milled it to see how it would turn out, pleased I did in the end and had no trouble shifting the boards and planks that came from it.

'Worst cold ever' spreading across UK as many 'can't shift' sickness bug APPLE.NEWS People across the UK have reported a draining illness described by many as the worst... Well let’s see where this goes. Hiding away in lockdown a cause ??🤷‍♂️ or vaccination for only one form of covid virus.

The utter lunacy of this policy and the nightingale farce resulting in huge waste of taxpayers money just seems to be acceptable. The article and info is in a number of papers. I’m no fan of tbe Guardian it’s just it was easy to post a link on an I phone 🤷‍♂️

Do a bit of research and check out how many private beds and hospitals were block booked and the utter waste involved. The article refers specifically to covid patients. Abandon or not the financial incompetence is staggering. Particularly when you look at where we are now in reality.
