Anyone know the formula to work out and measure the weights regards.... arrogance/big headedness... in metric?

 

Is it something to do with pie ? I think I remember a bit from school about pie/arse squared and the son of a hippopotamus.

Haha how’s it going Dre ? Ya ain’t no friend of mine ya Belgian fruitcake and We’ve got your number ... Now kindly go spout your BS / character assassination somewhere else ... now piss-off ya stook - you’re thick as manure , and only about 1/2 as useful ! 

What is Dre? At this point I don't know what to think. Character assassination? Seems like you do that to yourself, attacking someone that can't defend himself is the sign of a bully, which is a true sign of a weak individual, a reject who in not accepted.  

 

Wedgebanger sent me a rather informative massages, with some interesting links. I am grateful for the information, seems we have many saw porters to avoid.

I might be asking a dumb question here, but to me there is no shame in ignorance, and plenty of shame in not asking:

 

What is the issue about ported saw with respect to insurance?

Just looked at a MS261 where the clutch bearing was so bad, the drum was locked on to the clutch and was on the piss because of the damaged bearing, when you pulled it over, the chain span round. The saw was covered in dry bio oil and the brake was that stiff, it didn't click on and off, it was more of a lethargic thunk giving no confidence it actually would do anything.

I wonder what the insurance company would say about that and as the owner was an employer of people - what the H&S would say if someone got seriously hurt using it. I guess he doesn't understand that one of the first questions from the H&S would be "can I see your maintenance records" and not having serviced a machine used daily for 3-4 years will probably be seen as negligent!

It never ceases to amaze me what some see as an acceptable interval of maintenance - it seems for many it is when the saw is totally buggered!

Reminds me of a conversation I had a while back when I was lubricating the clutch bearing on a 288xp.

Estate Owner: 'What is that?'

Me: 'A grease gun. I'm lubricating the bearings and the bar tip'

Owner: 'We have to lubricate these things?'
