Chip deflector ......?

[swinny]

Is there much of a point in them? Ive removed them on a couple of saws less chance of clogging up with sawdust / chip

well having put the 18" bar on the 660 and a 8 rim the chips go flying! but as its only a 18 i find my self reaching over the top cutting on the backside to start the cut with the saw vertical and having chips flying past the rh side of my head and the when the wind picks up

If you don't have chips in your beard, you're not a proper lumberjack...
