Hi, I'm from the UK and I'm struggling to get any advice on solving the issue I'm having with my hydraulic saw. My father in law has built me this one of a kind machine to cut a 10 foot log into 5 foot, then split it into 4 pieces and then bundle it into a 1.8 cubed bundle for my 200kw boiler. Il explain the issue I'm having then il put some pictures up of it and a video. Basically I'm struggling to get the same valve to operate the saw and the ram pushing the saw down and up. I have the pipe to the ram t'eed off from the flow to the saw motor and before the ram I had a needle flow control valve to change the speed of the ram which worked...... only problem was if I had the control valve turned up so that the ram came down quite fast, the saw would stall when it got into the wood because it pulled itself through too fast whilst being pushed too fast. If I turned the control valve right down to about setting 1 just before the saw hit the log then the saw would pull itself through perfectly without stalling. I can't leave control valve at setting 1 because saw takes ages to come down to the log. I'm aware that most processors you can buy, work absolutely fine but I just don't how they are set up in order for the saw not to stall but still come down at a decent speed. I've also tried giving the saw motor and saw ram there own valves so I can control them independently. By doing this the saw worked better and faster but my saw was going up and down way too fast and I was going to break something if I'd carried on using it. I only had to push my lever a tiny bit to operate the saw. The problem with controlling them independently is it's taking up 2 of my valves and I don't really have 2 spare. I'm hoping you guys can advise me how to set it up so that 1 valve will set the saw going, will operate the ram for the saw and will supply oil for the bar. I currently have a pipe t'eed into the flow pipe to the saw motor which supply's oil to the saw bar and it has a needle flow control valve to adjust amount of oil to the bar.
