Bib;
You can put that gun down now, you're among friends here. :D

Bibbyman · December 09, 2003, 06:11:13 PM

Better to be packin' and not need it than to need it and not have it... :D

Hey how bout this. Get one or more extensions for the woodmizer. Put the regular head on the regular end regular handed. Then way down on the other end park the chainsaw slabber wrong ended and backhanded soin you could run it and the regular head when ever ya wanted. That would work though you would have removal and installation problems to get that third, the swinger set. Unless of course the swinger could be easily hung in place of the slabber. DanG wish I had one of those circled c copywrite protection thingies. :D :D

I know something that I would like to add, but the only thing I will say is that patent has been applied for on a swinger/band-resaw machine. Someday somewhere we should know more.

Big three place rotating head like those old pinwheel clamping systems. Rotate in the head of your choice. :D

Tell the truth Sven, what you want is a fist full of hundred dollars.

iain · December 13, 2003, 01:42:23 PM

ive just cut a load of timber for a local body sprayer
going to suggest he sprays my lt40hd (would like super)
raceing green with gold flecks in it that changes to peacock blue and gold as you walk passed it
i know what the answear will be but am going to ask any way

Paul_H · December 13, 2003, 02:13:46 PM

Welcome iain.

What do you mill mostly over there?Can you post any pictures for us?

iain · December 14, 2003, 05:22:29 AM

i've got to much spread around the place
and for customers beech,oak ash, yew red larch and scots pine in no order

whitepe · December 17, 2003, 04:03:58 PM

I'd still stick with an Orange dog but I want one of those
big ones. You know for the my dog's bigger than your
dog braggin rights. If/when I trade up from my LT15,
I want a hydraulic mill. It's nice to know that the LT15's
have good resale value. The LT15 is kind of like
Jeff's dog Scooter. Small but ferocious! ;D

Jeff · December 17, 2003, 06:24:44 PM

Scooter can kick butt.

iain · December 18, 2003, 02:26:51 AM

i like my orange and the colour makes it easy to find
but i would also like a swinger couse i've got lots of spalted beech laying around the country side and a fair bit of it is not easy to get at with the orange or extractoin equip but boards are lighter and if the figureing is good then its very cost effective especially if your the end user

whitepe · December 19, 2003, 09:30:05 AM

Jeff,
Is there a Scooter held overhead video anywhere on the forum. :D
PEW

Jeff · December 19, 2003, 09:32:29 AM

No, maybe I outta take one.

Sawyerfortyish · December 23, 2003, 06:22:39 PM

I wouldn't change mills I have a Frick circle mill and I like it. But where do I vote to get more help to run it? ;)

shopteacher · December 24, 2003, 06:12:35 AM

They make mills other than orange? Who would have thunk.

woodrat · December 25, 2003, 01:38:43 PM

Well, I just went through a whole round of parts replacement on my tired old woodmizer, so I kind of need to keep it for another 2500 hours to get my $ back! But I do wish it a) were longer, b) cut wider c) had a better turner and clamp. I looked into the Cutting Edge in Canada, but it would cut down the portability and ease of getting into tight spots. Maybe I just need a big old Mobile D here at home for the fatties, and making cants. :

Nice forum here, just discovered it recently, don't know how I missed it!

duke401 · December 25, 2003, 06:50:59 PM

duke

KiwiJake · December 26, 2003, 02:10:00 AM

Duke, that poll would only work if everyone was able to have a go on both 8). But that's a god question.

duke401 · December 26, 2003, 05:55:13 PM

kiwi

duke

Dugsaws · December 30, 2003, 06:50:29 PM

wouldnt change from my red machine (Timber Harvester), but would like to get the circle mill that is in storage set up and runnin, cant remember ifin it is a frick or american

Wes · December 31, 2003, 02:55:08 PM

I clicked on change to circle,becouse they mill faster than my bandmill,sometimes my helpers get Board with the band mill.

But I would KEEP my orange machine as they both have their advantages
