That's a good video!

I getcha! I'm working downed and dirty wood right now with full chisel. I should be using semi, but I like seeing chips fly... Lots of touch-ups! It's a favor... I wouldn't cut this junk for myself..:rolleyes:

I agree with this. My chains last longer with many slight touch-ups, over a few major ones.

I'd be game if they could be shipped separately.

rehung this old Plumb a couple of years back. Nice old axehead..

Thanks I try to keep my equipment as clean as possible, and only put a saw down where I won't back over it with the tractor!

I'm not sure I want to go to "full bore" square grind, but I found what i thought is a pretty good video on using the Simington... except he digs into the tie straps pretty good, but I'm sure that could be corrected. The gent seems to know his way around a sawchain..

Good lookin' saw... good lookin' cat. Both look like tough guys!

Yes, gents. I've always gotten pretty good performance from my round filed chains. I just always wonder if there might be a little bit more there.. with improved durability. I like burying my foot in chips in a short amount of time!

I like very much the way Husqvarna X-chain and EXL cut. I see Stihl will release a hexagonal file for their new chain.. but it's a different profile. I've been considering trying to duplicate the X chain profile, with a single bevel file, but with the price of the files, I'm not sure it's worth...

It's good to have a partner to cut with!

This 357xp was (is) the first chainsaw I built up from parts. Got the crankcase with scored piston, fuel tank and carb for $30, and cobbled the rest together myself with an OEM P&C. Today was the first chance to get it into some sizeable wood. Three tanks of fuel under it's belt. It ran awesome...

I missed the fact that there wasn't an oil thread here... EVERY forum needs an oil thread!

BTW.. Sorry to bore you gents with off topic stuff...

Yep, those setters can run! Had an English Setter out of Ultimate Reissue. The GPS collar often lost communication with her. But, she was a great little dog! Four years later, I still miss her pretty badly. Had a few Field Gordons, have one now... nice little girl. I used to belong to the local...
