Spent yesterday morning setting up the water lube system and cutting up some small Silky Oak logs with the new mill.The first cuts were like butter but the sapwood was riddled with termites and loaded up with sand and muck which knocked the hell out of the blade.Had to stop cutting after the third log as it was barely cutting.Apart from that its very nice to use, not too noisy and the water helps keep the dust down a bitPicking up some new bands this morning and then I will be getting the blunt blade onto the sharpener.Silky oak is notorious for allergies and I lightly scraped my forearm while carrying a slab and it came up as a red welt. I hope it hasn't overly sensitised me to this wood as it can get so bad you cannot even touch it.[ATTACH=full]945698[/ATTACH]
