Replace the sprocket anyway and just keep that one for your cheap chains, saves the possibility of them damaging the one your good chains run on and damaging your good chains on the sprocket they...

Sorry willy hate to say it but... Told ya so...lol

Try looking up laurie aka sawchain on here he does good chains at good prices.

sincerely Travis

They are in osborne park and they have reps that collect in your area their number is (08)9244 1977 hughans saw service. If you call em someone will collect from you I am sure.

ask if Fong is...

YES, provided that you change your sprocket to suit. The tangs of 404 are 63 thou thick and the drive tangs of the 3/8 chain on a stihl bar and chain are also 63 thou. The only time you will have a...

Yes you can still buy windsor in chains and bars but I think (and I stress don't quote me!!) that oregon carlton and windsor all sort of came together a few years back and they sort of homologated. I...

lmao

You need to take it to a saw doc who understands how to straighten and tension saw plates nifty in W.A. take it to hughans and hope Fong is still working there. Heat is not the answer and...

agreed, and 1 thumb you can buy 25 inch bars and chains and sprockets to suit a 660 in 404, I had a windsor one in my ebay watch list for a while and also an oregon one with carlton chain. they are...

Simple just run a duromatic bar and then you can run 3/8 or 404 simply by swapping the sprocket! (they are cheaper than bars and chains)

Standard the 660 is issued with a 3/8 sprocket and bar, no...

exactly what had happened in the aforementioned case bob, but the owner had just kept tensioning the chain so much that the chain was forced into the sprocket until the sprocket innards were forced...

sounds like your stihl dealer is a bit overpriced, I think I paid about $55 for the last one I bought from my stihl dealer about 12 months ago. I have also bought chains from sawchain and will attest...

And you say you DON'T work for them?? one post on the website and it is basically an ad for another one of these generic ripoff style chinese chainsaws, telling us in great depth how they are so much...

Cheers mate. I will see what I can find out about the triple prep. And Yes I am only going to do the job once so I want to do it right the first time.

Unfortunately life has become rather busy for...

hi all I am doing some renovations and have just laid new flooring pretty much right through the house and actually just finished laying the floor in the kitchen and dining room today. This brings me...

ask bushmiller I think he had one. I have the plans somewhere for that particular mill and it does not have "TYRES" the wheels are machined to a step on the rearward side and the tension is what...

well too bad ya going too...lol. like sigidi says with your lucas mill blades the general rule of thumb is to face them only. the only time the tops or sides should be ground is when the plate is...

I am just going to say that both ways have their pros and cons, you cannot cut a full width slab with a circ saw like you can a bandsaw, well not as easily anyway. most guys who use bandsaws don't...

How are those saws going sam, they due for a touch up yet?

and yes I do remember ya Redshirt guy. Life in general has been keeping me very busy. I have just cleared a few pms so there should be space there now.

you would need a servo type stepper motor to have control weissy

better post some pics then carl...lol can't be worse than the last one! did the insurance cough up for ya?

I guess you could always add a servo motor to the existing winder setup too, and a worm drive setup would increase the accuracy, and reduce the power requirements to drive it.

would recommend either an electric actuator of the type LINAK use in hospital beds or else you would need a servo type electrical motor which can be basically wound to any degree of rotation you need...

NICE good start mate! can ya tell me where ya got the wheels?
I want a couple myself.:2tsup:

must be non existent, McCains are supplying maccas in australia with chips imported from china and they get away with it cause they are coming through nz or didn't we all find they taste like faeces...

SO Al is weissy allowed to drive a ute now is he? we all saw what he did to the ro gay o...lol:2tsup:

if cutting green try some bees wax on the blade

pics please! most veneer that is rotary cut is cut green on what is like a lathe with a cutter that scithes off a thin sheet as the log rotates thus it is I guess truly backsawn but when cutting with...

oops I slipped!:2tsup::D

don't be scared saw that bad boy and strap it with a bearer every 600 mm top and bottom and use some 19 by 19 about the same spacing between each board till it is dry (12 to 18 months) it will be...

make sure you have the spool free flowing and have a brake included in the center of the spool holder for info pm me
Travis

Depends on the variety and where it comes from weisy:2tsup:

I used to live on eyre peninsula and yes you will get some beautiful dark red almost purple sheoak with much denser figure than the sheoak the western australians see and much harder then the river...

I disagree rusty nail backsawing also gives some nice figure for examples search my albums

Man I can't believe this thread is still running I been away for like 6 months and it is still here!!!

once again for a small saw buy a dol/makita, oleo mac stihl or husky. mchulloch are the...

the big mills use all 19 mm doesnt need to be gal but is easy to handle and strong always use bearers and good strap tensioners and bearers underneath and steel corner clips for the top corners you...

can anyone help me out I have found something he wants and need to get in touch with him.

In the mean time I freehand slabbed the biggest banksia I have ever seen today was 600mm plus 4 ft from...

you know the rule guys pics or it didn't happen!

dunno bout the 404 but semichisel will cut almost as quick and will last longer in dirty wood. Chipper may last even longer but is slower and unless you are running an 090 088/880 or maybe a 3120 or...

yes multiuple skip is different. I assure you that single skip is basically an extra tie strap between cutters.

wrong again bruce I have sent tassie the contacts he needs in a pm.

I can get it for 33 cents a drive link for a single chain or 30 cents a link for 5 chains or more in skip, already made up, do not see the point in butchering a perfectly good chain. Dealers always...

Damn slow here tonight, I find the speed varies a bit (between slow and painful and I am on ADSL2) one thing I have found is that when you want to use inverted commas it doesn't put them up and will...

Bout bleedin time mate!!! welcome home now don't go runnin off again!

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I just wanted to welcome weissy boy back and congratulate him on finding spell checker!!!....lol. good to hear from ya again mate! *edit* sorry just found...

despite the fact that it would probably take the most work to sharpen properly and someone inscribed RB in crude lettering on the handle the dark handled one would be probably the better saw of the 3...

And you will find that most of what you disregard will eventually make sense to you! might be bull dust now, but you will find out Bruce, that I only speak from experience I have been envolved in...

the 5 tpi would be a rip saw not a crosscut

the brass backed tennons would be the ones to keep, as for sharpening one for ripping it comes down to personal preference, as you already have the...

Solo are not Dolmar although they are built on similar platforms and some parts are shared/interchangeable. Solo saws do have a good rep also but are higher priced, the dolmar HD filters will not fit...

I find your last 2 posts rude and somewhat incorrect Bruce yes our timbers are denser but when green, the logs you see in the bandsaw videos would be pretty much on par for overall weight, and some...

I have completely stripped and unfortunately had to rebuild these saws and basically if it don't run throw it they are never much good by the time they stop working. I have found that if they have...
