Use own kit for CS30/CS31?

[Jonty]

Hi All

 

Am planning to book myself onto CS30/31 course during November down at kingswood. I see from their website that your can hire all the kit needed for £10 a day but would it be better to use your own chainsaw?

 

I saw in another post that the Husky 346XP would be a very good 1st chainsaw (having checked it out I'm thinking of buying one) and wondered whether it would be better to be taught using my own saw than learn maintenance etc on what will probably be a different make/model.

 

Apologies if this is a stupid question

Not a stupid question at all, mate. Learning to maintain your own saw as well as the saws the college uses would be even better

On my cs 30 we was taught about both huskeys and stihl maintanice the main differnce is the sprocket its well worth getting your own saw and doing the maintanince on that. they will either have that saw or sthil 260s.

Having your own saw is a good plan as on CS31 you can be sure that it will cut straight.

The only course I didn't use my own kit was cs38. Would recommend to use your own kit
