Go on, who's the saddo

[GardenKit]

I never turn the bar because I don't like the name (stihl, oregon etc) upside down.

 

I lost a customer (domestic) once because I turned his bar. He said I obviuosly was no good as I had returned the saw to him after service and could not even manage to put the bar on the right way.

I have the same issue, can't stand the writing being upside down!

Same as Mark, I turn the bar every time I sharpen in the garage, I also get the t bar out to check the rails as Spud said. Good training sticks with you.........

I always use callipers:thumbup:

Haha..I normally file my chains any old how, it does make a big difference in performance for me to spend some time sharpening a chain instead of rushing it.

 

One tip I learnt from 3dogs was to always do the last two strokes very lightly to get a better edge.

 

agree with that too, I always slow the last one or two down and really look at the hardening flake at the lip, pulling up on the file if its not quite right.

 

I think i might be saddo too!

I used to knock the burrs off but don't any more - not sure if it does chip the tooth... but not saying it doesn't!

 

 

Getting the mill ready for a big log it's nice to take the time the evening before to get it as good as possible as it just seems to keep it's edge so much longer.
