Mind if I ask what kind of day rate you or anyone else that feels happy to chip charges? Ive been milling my own products for 2 years now. Have a 48" and 36" Mill with 36" and 48" Bars. If I can get the work in I'll get another 088 and a bigger bar too.
-
Very nice! May I ask why you chose to mill at 3"?
-
NM, found it.
-
Anything out there? Cant see anything in the For Sale section here nor on ebay and not sure where else to look. Any other forums I should check out? Looking for a Bandsaw, preferably on a Trailer. WHY?
-
They do not offer it full stop. The dealers wrong supposedly. Call them and see.
-
Watch out for that three year warranty. On another thread its been proved to me false advertising.

Is it worth me buying a Lumbermate to use on spruce & ash
trigger_andy replied to AndyChalmers's topic in Milling Forum
If you dont buy it could you pass his details on, please? Im looking for one. -
band saw mill work in the peak district
trigger_andy replied to stumpedagain's topic in Milling Forum
Are these Mills worth the money? I was surprised at how much a 10" Lucas Mill cost. -
Im thinking they wanted the unit back more for quality control and investigating a potential problem rather than customer satisfaction. But either way they have gone up in my estimations.

compatible saws on a double power head mill
trigger_andy replied to farmerjohn's topic in Panther Mill UK
Currently my biggest bar is a 48" but when the next big tree comes my way I'll be going up a size. -
I have an 088, would be interested what the work cost and if you noticed much difference?

I'd say that would be fine 084 and 660 was a ok combo for me. Can get a bar adapter plat from CSB Awesome. I'll look into that. Care to elaborate on what CSB means? -
Thanks for the info Rob. Guess Il get a 27RX from you next. Really looking forward to having a play with it.

I have a 3phase Logosol running 3/8” low pro chains and have yet to snap one. All worn down to nubs before binning.

I have an 088 and a 064, anyone know if they would work together? I guess the fact they have different bar attachment studs is one thing? -
Cool, I'll have to give that a go with a chain. I have the Granberg precision sharpener, that should do the job.
-
Any chance the offer for the HD kit will come back? Was excited when I clicked the link but its now dead. I could push to the offer price but no way could I afford the current website price.
-
Are you guys taking 10 degree ripping chains and grinding/filing them to 0 degrees?
-
Is it just the sides making the top cut look wonky?
-
Ive not had cause yet to go up to a 54" bar but looking forward to the time that comes. I have an 088.
-
Im not sure how much more power a MS880 has over a 088 but Ive yet to snap a 3/8 ripping chain yet.
-
Thats some log! :O What did you use as a replacement bar? Might do the same. Are you not worried about wearing shorts? Im thinking about entering the saw into the cut and exiting.
-
ok, might try that. Do you find that the rubber pad helps with a smoother cut?
-
Interesting. Some pictures of this would be great. Im still using the Ecomills but having now seen a real Alaskan in the flesh I might push the boat out and buy one when funds allow.
-
My last order was for a 3/8" Stihl Ripping chain for my 48" Bar but looks like I'll be trying the 27RX next. As its sligjhtly slower and you get a slightly rougher finish would slowing down even further reduce the roughness? Was the roughness noted when milling with a winch or pushing, or both?
