Thread: Chasing Course Sawdust

PM BobL on the forum here, He does a lot of chainsaw milling, probably plenty of lucas owners over there too that like turning good timber into sawdust...lol

My wife rides horses and would take everything I generate except mine has loads of mineral bar oil through it and I'm told horses don't like that. The sawdust I make is also sprayed over an area of about 3 m x (length of the log + 5 m) so it forms a fairly thin coating on the ground and unless I were to mill on concrete, raking it up is gonna pick up lots of other stuff.

Cabinet makers and joinery shops used to be a better source except they use so much MDF these days that makes it unusable in stables.

Your next shot is probably a swing millers. We got some sawdust off Burnsy once but he has now sold his mill.

try to find your local woodturning club and take the shaving away i reckin you should get heaps one of our members gets a 240 lt wheelie bin every 2 weeks from our shed

I generate a fair amount of it but I do bag it and then sew the tops and sell it for $6 per bag to horse people and chook owners for bedding. Just thought I'd mention it incase you get stuck...
