Seems like a feasible idea. The idea being they will stay flat over time better than normal lumber. Im sure they need more support laterally as they my be “floppy” I would think? I generally span the spacing between the 2 first cut boards with a 2x4 any way so im assuming this would work with trex to. Thoughts? Im just trying to find a longer term solution to first cut rails over 2x4’s and fighting with keeping them straight. Right now I have them all screwed together trying to keep...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience buying from them or running one. I did try searching the forum for them (here and on the "other site"). But I'm not finding anything ..read more

I was considering getting a Husky 390XP to do some milling. Not inexpensive but i need a bigger saw. Anyway, just came across a used 385XP with a 32 inch bar. Looks to be in good condition and the seller says it runs great. Will be going to see it Friday. What is your experience with a 385XP for milling. Good saw? Worth $700? Thanks in advance for any and all input ..read more

I've been playing around with the edge mill but find that it's very easy to get wavy edges because the v-rails flex like crazy in the middle. Now I'm sure I can remedy this by drilling another 1 or 2 holes but I was also curious if others were experiencing the same thing. Always gotta' make sure it's not just me doing something wrong, ya' know ..read more
