Ha I was told or seen on here... If it's not orange it's no use:blushing:

 

If it cuts and works.

 

yer it cuts and works fine so far apart from the teeth where longer on one side of the chain so it was cutting a bit wonky until i sharpened it

 

now, where is my orange paint....

It has a little bit of orange on it.

 

 

I would email McColloch, and give them a link to your posts about your faulty bar.

 

It will be interesting to see how they respond.

I've got those kits. Only thing is the file guide holder.

 

Get a stihl one as it has screws to hold the file and can take any size file. Thos Oregon ones don't hold a bigger file and fall apart.

Hi rich, why the name change?.

[chrismechanic]

cheers rich, it has not fallen apart so far and i have used it twice..i suppose if it does i could doctor it to be a screw on affair.

 

tbh i won't need it to hold another file as i have only one saw, it seems to work fine.

 

cheers div_h

 

H_A it has a bit of orange, and tbh i kinda like it black, it's like a stealth saw

The plates are of different depth for different files . This is to keep the file one fifth of its radius above the top plate of the cutter . A 7/32 file plate will have a deeper depression than say a 5/32 one . Thats why a 7/32 file will not fit a 5/32 file plate .

[chrismechanic]

yes stubby, that also is a good point... cheers..

Yeah but I still hate the holder. It's horrible. And those clips don't hold after a while.

 

I have a set for each size of chain by the way. Have to as I could get many different size chain come in.
