I am split between that or a new bandsaw mill saul. Room in the yard and petrol saw noise is a factor with neighbours close by.
-
Good solid advise jay
-
Stick to your budget and get the best value money can buy
-
Only one realist for me and that is ed stafford and the guy has seen it and done it (Walked amazon) One other comes close is Mick Dundee 😁
-
Guys has anyone used either of these with the F2-M7/8 logosol mills. Load of larch available in a couple of weeks and bit tight in my yard for storage and milling but the M7 fits nicely around my place and can be moved. Noise is a factor and i have 3 phase ES8 Electric Saw, 8 kW ES5 Electric Saw, 4.6 kW

I use same bar and chain on 36" and ploughs through it
-
Wadkin is on par then you look at wilson or Dominion next step down but still built like tanks
-
Is that a 3/8 or 404 bar on that
-
Some of the lads knock a cheap saw but for someone who does not have the budget to buy a high end stihl or husky they are a good second option.I have a good saw but would not think twice about getting another farnertec as a backup.

Multico were french build stuff but always sort after
-
Multico and sedgewick are 2 of the best machines around so your pretty sound there.I took a look earlier and some nice 3 phase available but stick with the single phase stuff if no 440 volt supply in your place

3 of us confirm the same so nothing wrong with chains. I use a grinder so maybe those who have problems hand file but myself like a hard steel toothed chain
-
Get hold of yourself man 🙄 Like these fishing programs on tv when they land a 400 lb cod just not real
-
People expecting a rolls rocye performance out of a skoda. Aint gonna happen but both will get you from A-B
-
Expectation in general to all worldwide (GLOBALLY) who use rotatech chains if that clears up any confusion.
-
They are a budget chain and cannot expect perfection.They are fine for certain jobs
-
I have never found that to be honest.If they do just re adjust tension as only so much give in a chain.Must be tight on the oil (scottish are you) 🤣 All tight arses

Have we had a 'First go at Milling' thread recently?
topchippyles replied to TuscanPhil's topic in Milling Forum
I like that phil (attacked it) 🤙 As for you first piece just reset the ladder and secure it this time and do a new cut -
Fair comment. Loads on the bay if you look and is it a heavy duty one your after
-
A grand will buy you a chain mortiser which is ideal for making gates
-
I bought one as a backup saw last year and run it on 25/1 mix for the first few tanks. Bit smoky but ran well enough for what i used.

Bench top planner thicknesser or surface planner
topchippyles replied to gobbypunk's topic in Woodcraft Forum
Pretty much the same machine phil just a newer version which will reflect in the price. Expect that newer one will make good money £500-600 ish depending if the imported stuff in coming in from china again. P/T were making silly money a while back second hand -

Nothing wrong with that and will do everything you want phil. Around £300-400 i should think -
Stubby was telling K about taking his first parachute jump.. 'When I got to the door I just couldn't jump, but the 6'7" black male instructor unzipped his fly and drops out a 15 incher and says 'If you don't jump you're gonna get this baby up your ******* arse." K says, 'Did you jump?' Stubby says, 'A bit, when it first went in. 🤣
