O.k. Ty: Where do you live? Why do you want them? Just asking... wouldn't mind a few of them myself. Maybe we can persuade them to start fabbing them out again.

 

[Reddog]

Jed, Ty is "Thank you" for what it's worth.

 

[stig]

Jed, if you write them, you may want to start putting the little umlaut thingie in place: Öberg

 

[skippysphins]

I'm in the Poconos of Pennsylvania . I hand file chains . I want them as I'm told they are the best files for doing square ground.

I'm in Clark's summit. We are almost neighbors.

 

[skippysphins]

About 35 minutes away

 

[Tucker943]

What town?

 

[skippysphins]

Right by Mt Pocono (cresco)

 

[Tucker943]

Yup. I made indirect contact with a primary line years ago over by Canadensis and got lit up good. That's as close as my career took me to Mt Pocono.

 

[skippysphins]

Where in Canadensis I lived there all my life . minus military for 4 years

 

[Tucker943]

The road the entrance to Buck Hill is on.

 

[skippysphins]

You were within a mile of me

Hopefully as close to electrocution, too.

Thanks Reddog! I'm nearly illiterate as Stig confirmed in the next post.

Stig: I ain't got a Danish computer. You got skills man. How'd you throw that up? So the umlaut designates a long O sound?

Chris: I handfile square too. My guess it that the Swiss made Stihl, hex files are as good as you're ever going to get new. Let us know how you make out.

 

[Tucker943]

Yes, Sean. I learned several lessons that day. I was not in good hands at that company to say the least. It was a bad taste of line clearance.

 

[skippysphins]

I will try the Stihl ones Jed thanks.

Jed, I can't remember what the keyboard on an American computer looks like, but on mine I can press ¨ and then O and it turns into Ö
Which isn't a Danish letter BTW, our version looks like this: Ø

Well as far as an Oberg file ,little dots over the O or not I have no idea where you would find one .I use a six sided file I got from Baileys to square file .The only time I do that is trying to make a race chain which is seldom .

I've got maybe 24-26 1/4" round Obergs I landed from flea bay of 3 dozen to do what little I have of 1/2" chipper used on gear drive antiques.I've never worn one out for the simple reason the gear drives are just a conversation piece .Nobody in their right mind would use them for anything but that .

 

[Jed]

Stig: Good stuff. My keyboard doesn't have one though. As a kindergartner learning to read, I was always perplexed by why English didn't have a similar convention to designate which vowel sound to make from a given vowel so that you didn't make an ass of yourself in front of the teacher.

I: "Why don't they put something so that you'd know?"

She: "You're supposed to know it from context."

I: "What if you don't though?" She: "That's what school's for." Etc, etc, etc.

 

[Jed]

I will try the Stihl ones Jed thanks.

Yeah, try em' man. I find it works really well to just barely graze the tie-strap with the flat part of the triangle as you're making the downward stroke through the chisel. Also: Try ramming a wedge between the chain and guide-bar on the bottom to stiffen the chain up in the top of the bar grove. Helps tons.

Ever soak your old files in vinegar, Al? Works a charm.

Yes it does, you just have to know where to find it. Ö ö
