That looks sweet bet it was tough cuttin

tryed orgeon, grandberg,and stihl chains

i was really surprised the grandberg chain made easy work of it didnt seem to stall the 660 as much

i thought the elm would be really hard

i think i will be sticking to grandberg chain from now on

[Big J]

My best experiences have been with the granberg chain, and it's the one I most commonly use.

 

You'll have found that Elm reasonably hard going I imagine as it looks quite dry. As fresh as possible makes for the easiest milling, though in the case of Elm, I appreciate that it's not always doable.

i was happy how quick the 660 cut the trunk had bin standing for 2 1/2 years

but no what u mean big j hard wood

really wanted to plung the 76 in it but could not be bothered

[TrollSpiel]

now build

 

yer, the granberg is the dogs... dont make my mistake of whining about it being a monsta to sharpen, if you haven't already got one, I think you're going to need one of those oregon 12v sharpeners.

[Rob D]

No worrys - it's interesting a lot of people find the Granberg chain better...

 

 

 

...but yes I now advertise that you need to have a 12v grinder (or bench grinder) to sharpen it as TrollS says the scoring cutters can be hardened off to the point they strip a round file

[spudulike]

Yes Martin, before you ask, you are welcome to come round and get your chain sharpened FOC for you my friend:001_rolleyes:

 

Oh - FOC = free of charge:thumbup:

got a good bench grinder when i brough that 47 inch bar off u rob

could not be bother with hand filing a 47 inch chain

to lazy for that

i was looking at that little 12v grinder

rob im thinking of buying a 36inch bar for the 076 for smaller wood like that elm

Stihl Duromatic 36" or Stihl Rollamatic ES 36"

just wondered if the sproket make that much diffrence

 

cheers for the offer spud

just had time to put the 076 on the mill

think i need a new fuel cap thought as fuel drips out of it when i put it on its side
