I totally disagree with not pegging your mill down as a matter of habit, but hey I also disagree with wearing thongs as safety boots!!

As well as all above, give the tracks a sight over to make sure they are straight and true.

You could look at putting a sea container on site with a shielded lock system.

I have no real knowledge on the woodmizer, but one of the things Lucas has done well is "Keep It Simple". It makes a quality affordable, easy to operate portable sawmill. Thats why they are so...

I am possibly in a position to mill if I can find the time. What size would you mill it into? Cheers.

I've been removing big old pear tree stumps from an orchard. Photo's a bit dodge, Max size about 900mm long by 300mm wide. Is any of this pear wood worth saving ??

These Trees pictured are being dropped by professional treeloppers and the owner wants to see the timber go to a good use and hopefully save some money on disposal of the trunks. Access is extremely...

Is that what you look like without your hat Carl!:wink:

A South African named Bruce living in Argentina with a farm in Australia building a house in New Zealand. Sounds like an interesting bloke. Where are you sending the bill too??:wink:

There has been quite a few threads on ''timber milling for profit" come across lately and it got me thinking how and why most of us small millers got into milling in the first place.

I bet, like...

I tried to buy one of the same site and it told me it wouldn't deliver it to my address.
What other online sites sell Fiskar products?

I have just picked up some jarrah logs to mill and noticed one of them is curly.
It is about 600 diameter x 4m long. Any suggestion on what sizes I should try to mill it into and save it for some...

Has anyone tried using full comp chain on a Lucas Slabbing attachment??

If you are thinking of making your own fork attachment, try and find some tynes that come with the carriage. It will mean all you have to do is fit/weld the quickhitch to the carriage and therefore...

Hi Al, I have a fixed forks attachment on mine and would definitely only have them that way. I bought a bobcat to help me with my milling and now days I spend more time as bobcat contractor than I do...

I am fortunate enough to have both a an 066 and a 395xp. I love both saws. The 066 has slightly more grunt but if I need to hang onto it all day I prefer the 395.

It would be interesting to hear Lucas Mill's thoughts of your mods:2tsup:

Recon Swing arm could also mean it was completely replaced ex lucas mills When I had a 725 the gearbox seal went and lucas exchanged the whole swingarm attached with the gearbox so it could set up...

Cheers as well for the photos Bob and I'll definatly be out looking for some Ironbark trees now and hopefully come across a fallen one one-day.

In my 15 years of milling here in WA I have never come across Ironbark. I gather it must be a suburban grown tree. Would be great if you could post a photo:2tsup:

Spoken like a true CARPENTER!!!!:U

Travis, you have had plenty of valuable input into this forum and in a prevous post stated something like you didn't like the manners of some of the forum contributors. I think this post is...

Itsposs, I'm curious, I like many on here have only ever had good service and positive feedback from lucas on both mills I have bought and any problems I have incurred. How did they offend you? Sure...

Well Done Sigidi:2tsup:, looks great.I bought one of those slab dressing attachment thingys, haven't tried it yet, any tips??

Travis over the years anytime I have anguished over any commercial or business decision involving capital input i have always just looked at the worst possible outcome and then balanced that against...

It would be great to see Inter and Carl have a beer together!!!:U:U:U

If we were all traditionalists we'd still cutting up timber with axes. I reckon it looks like a bloody great idea and look forward to hearing feedback from someone who has tried it.

I had the same happen with mine. Lucas have an upgrade kit available where you change the cable throttle to a shaft setup as its a common problem. So as Allan said give them a call.

I've got to say Inter, originally I found your banter somewhat amusing, but its grown tiresome and self serving so I think you need to stop being such a wayne car !!!

Come on Sigidi, it's time to come clean. You never miss an opportunity to declare your love..... so the question is...do Lucas Mill pay you or are you in some kind of a weird relationship with one of...

Come on Jock, off ya high horse,I don't believe Carl was saying anything but a bit of banter with a commomly used phrase.

Love it, looks like it's gone straight to the pool room!!!:U

Looks fantastic Inter!!! Keep the photos coming!!!!:2tsup:

Hi, I have a client who is chasing approx 5 cubes dry 200 x 38 dry marri. Do any of you WA boys have any available??? Cheers

Nice rafter timber in the house as well. Did you cut it???

I'm with Carl, CALM and Johnny Roberts.Sometime back there was a thread on this forum "show us your flitch fire" , of which many members did. Generally anyone who mills decent amounts of logs ends up...

Cmon Sigidi, don't be nieve,I know you love your Lucas as so do I but Lucas didn't invent the portable mill nor built one without inspiration from existing sawmill manufacturers.You could guarantee...

Mate you need to calm down, you dont have the right to speak on behalf of all of us millers. Your expletives take away any credit your post may have. I for one enjoy reading Jakes Turbosaw posts and...

Nifty I've done the math and I reckon you did well. People don't seem to realize it's not about how much money the sawyer made in this case it's about what it is worth to you. Id gladly pay him a...

I am curious why InterTD6 hasn't given any critique on this tree felling or am I just stirring the pot??? :U

There was a bloke here in WA when Lucas first came to town in the early nineties based up in Mahogany Creek who in his own words '' It's a bit agricultural'' had a direct drive hand winch pulling...

Thanks for the advice and the link. I now have a good place to start.
Cheers guys

Hi Scott
I operate a small milling co in the hills and have a limited supply of timber. What are you actually chasing
Cheers

It's a damn shame you're cutting all the best trees out of your block. I know that area well and it's a shame that the very few Quality tree's left in the area from years of thinning are going to cut...

Rod , be careful what you say I'm always looking for people who want to swap labour for timber!!!!
