Hi,

 

I am looking to get into carving but not sure how to go about it, just would like some tips?:001_smile:

I'm not going into it majorly serious but just looking to try and make some fairly respectable pieces that may be worth a few quid. (obviously not straight away but we have to start somewhere:001_smile:)

 

the saws i have are stihl MS201t, MS230, MS361,

 

Any advice greatly appreciated.:001_smile:

may have a 1/4 sprocket that'll fit ms230 knocking about. unused/barely used can have for cheap if you want

25F Oregon Carving Full Feature 1/4 .050 - Chainsawbars

 

Are these what i need, and would work with your 1/4 sprocket?

How much do you want for it? :001_smile:, PM if you prefer. Just trying to add up all the costs.

 

Thanks

Never used that full feature chain, prob worth just ringing rob at chainsawbars.Co.UK about it.

 

10er plus postage for the sprocket. Just found it I used it on an ms170 for maybe a tank at some point. It's a stihl 8t.

 

I'm fairly sure this will fit a ms230, as a quick search looks like they share the same 3/8 sprockets.

full feature chains are a bit like marmite.. (brown a sticky... or..some like em, some dont.. ) i dont get on with them, too many teth to sharpen for the minimal speed increase in my opinion. just get std 1/4 pitch chain. the carvign chains may have the heals of the teeth already ground off. if not, you willneed to do it yourself. youtube videos are a good start for basics like that. this explains it nicely.
