The thing which gets me, is any Saw will run a short bar fast. When you get 30"+ bars it gets interesting. Pretty sure 16" bar on a 261,461,661 with a 7 pin sprocket is going to be very similar.
-
Still not your saws. All the videos you've posted are from the same German YouTuber. Do you have any ported saws?
-
Interesting, The gentleman in the video also posted about 8 pin sprockets being slower than 7 pin.[emoji848] But as for a stock 461 out cutting a stock 661. Hmmm. I own both. Can't see it. Do you have any videos of your own saws?
-
The 660 was a great Saw, but even ported ones have a hard time keeping up with a 661. [emoji106]

It can be valuable when it's 4'+ across and solid burr. And that's if you can get it out in one piece, transport it, mill it etc etc. [emoji106]

Who cares? Both decent chaps. Andy seems bit tetchy, probably working too much. [emoji106]

Last time we got hit a few months back, they climbed over two 8'+ steel gates, Kicked the shit out of two alsatians, ripped the locks off all containers, Moved the vehicle parked in front of Saw container, Cut through lock guards with cordless angle grinder, Cut all hardened locks. Made off with 25k of tools. Now someone is staying on site every night. I don't own any big machinery, all my kit goes home into my house every night. Total ball ache. The Mrs complains about sawdust/mud through the kitchen. No easy answers.

Well done mate, I know what the Bretons are like[emoji6] Took my brothers 20 years to be accepted, my parents have been there 30 years, still referred to as les anglais. [emoji106]

What size mate? Guy next to me has some. But I'm in Yorkshire.

Andy and eggsy aside..., An observation... The more intelligent you are, the more you should earn. This premise fascinates me. It's a superiority complex. See it all the time. Doctors,business men, lawyers etc If we are all equal humans, why would intelligence matter? Whether you're a bin man or doctor, a days work is a days work. [emoji848]

You run Arbtalk and have an American veneer office set.[emoji848] Chip it.[emoji13][emoji95][emoji95][emoji95] Put up a request for some nice BRITISH, locally sourced,locally milled exquisite hardwood.[emoji12] And a joiner to put them together. (Be a good thread for the wood working section?) I'm sure you'd get a good price. [emoji6][emoji106]

Carlton are the same as Oregon or stihl quality wise. Granberg ripping chain is Carlton. Oregon owns Carlton. [emoji106]

Worrying thing is, the client only wanted a bench... [emoji51][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Little oak job today, Wasn't expecting anything particularly nice. So far nothing special. Then this happened....... [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

It's the economy of running a bandsaw. 4 stroke engine running on straight pump fuel, water as lubricant, cuts ridiculously fast, bands are very cheap. If you charged £40 an hour, no one would bat an eyelid, and you and your lad could both have a pay rise? [emoji106]
-
Very interesting project [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
-
[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Maybe 30 mins each end. It's always 3-4 hours driving though. More with bad traffic. [emoji106]
-
That's less than minimum wage. [emoji51]
-
@£30 per hour for 8 hours, that's £240. My over heads are £175. I'd be on £65 for 14 hour day at that price. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji12][emoji106]

Chainsaw milling is a bit different to bandsaw milling. Let me break it down. An hour plus per chain on the grinder. Grinds £25 off a £100 chain per job. An hour or two driving to site. 7-8 hours onsite. Every time you hit a chunk of metal it's 45-60 mins filing off another £25. Another hour of two driving back. Bars are £400+ when you've bent it/ worn it 10litres of motomix £40 6 litres of bio oil £35 Panther mill £700 Ms880 £1800 By the time you've loaded/ unloaded your looking at a 14 hour day minimum. I charge £395 a day. Take out: £40 saw fuel £35 oil £50 half a chain £20 vehicle fuel £25 for 1% value if saw and mill. That's £220 I earn for a 14 hour day. I charge £150 with a 261 for 7-8 hours. Any less than £395 is insane. Also the wood I cut is often worth £395+ a slab. Hmmmm Price just went up to £450. [emoji106]

Last big chunk of olive ash, milled in the pouring rain. Worth it. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
