The customers I have that get most out of their bars and chains is the ones that rotate chains, 5-10 on one bar and rim. By rotating you have even wear. If you run bar with replaceable sprocket it can run 30+ chains if nothing happen. Educating custemers to keep their stuff better makes me...

O like 1,6/.063 It libes well, as do 1,5/,058 compared to 13/,050.

I sell bars and chains in 1,5 for several husqy users. One today with a 036 and 1,5 guage..

I can order Stihl chain in .325 and 3/8 in 1,3 1,5 1,6 guage Same with Oregon. If you want same pitch and guage (even length in some cases) on saws from different brands, its fully possible. I had that before as I ran 3/8 chisel, semi chisel and chipper chains on 4 saws with same B/C setup. In...

Not sure I understand this correctly. All brands have all the different gauges to all saws. 1.3 1.5 1.6 no matter... You just need right chain to the bar. Mfg's like Oregon, cannon, Iggesund, no-namers have all variations. If you have all 6 brands you can still have same chain on all of them if...

You can run Stihl chains on any bar as long as the bar and chain are correct pitch and guage. I use springs parted out fron junk to put on bar bolts. Often the oil hole is placed OK, if not its easy to drill a new.

Sounds as you have good sharp chains and figured out a way to keep them so. I noticed a big difference in filing little and often over waiting and take more. The cutter get tempered as its used. If you keep within tempered surface you get more out of it before filing. But this is very thin...

The Oregon files here will not make a dent on the hard chains. Not sure we have same files as they sell different files on different markets. Stihl and pfered files work better on harder cutters. If a gutter is hard and file bounce/vibrate instead of cutting it will be damaged.

Don't excuse yourself if you want to add knowledge to you life, Robert... I happily explain as best I can. Yes, that is what I mean. The cutters are angled so they cut when pushed. Turning it, prevent crap from being pushed harder in to file. A stroke with cloth takes most of it out. In...

I whipe it with the cutters, not against it. I use cloth, old cheets, anything really that crap can stick to and I can have hanging were I file or near. I wash it in fuel. The nasty stuff we have is good for cleaning. When the file is clean but dull I use apple cider vinegar. It eats up the...

Most important in filing is to know what it should look like and feel when you do it. Angles, sufaces and edges. All this is impossible to learn if you don't have a good file. I twist sometimes as I file to move pressue but not for it to cut better. Here is how I do it with files. I file one...

I tried them and can't say I like them. they are a bit too low in settings even if you happen to use the chain its designed for.
