Magnus, do you understand physics? Gravity? There is no way you're going to get enough tension on that chain that it won't ride on the downhill side when the saw is in felling position. If you do, the chain AIN'T going to turn. I know for a fact that the chain wears the downhill side, widening...

I keep scabbards on mine too. I can figure on about six months (maybe a year) of regular use out of a bar, refacing it about four times on the bench grinder during that time. After that, I chunk it and get a new one.

Willard, I've had bars that looked more worn than that after only a couple of months. Not sure how you keep the paint on there.

Not true, except when saw is in upright position. Gravity is the culprit, combined with grit/sand/etc. When the saw is in felling position, the chain is "lying" horizontally, putting pressure, therefore wear, on the bottom edge. Which edge is bottom is relative to how the saw is being held at...
