Convert 3/8 lo pro to 3/8

Should be fine. Stop talking about unguarded- all you need is one without bumper tie straps.

 

Full chisel cuts faster but not enough to notice on that size saw. Yet a small touch to the ground can be enough to dull it twice as much as it would semi chisel. Stick to semi chisel.

A touch up every tank is excessive in all but the worst conditions. If you genuinely need to touch up every tank and you're not working in timber that's been skidded through sand, then you need to work on your saw handling.

 

If you've been sharpening that often, have you checked the depth gauges? That will make it much less aggressive in the cut if they are too tall.

I was under the impression that unguarded ment no bumper tie straps. Sorry.

 

When I done my CS30&31 I was told to do a sharpen every tank, I guess thats misinformation.

My saw handling is fine I'm very conscious about where my chain is while cutting. I've yet to hit the ground with it.

 

And I check the depth gauges every couple of sharpenings.

 

Thanks for the help.

how long have you been cutting with a chainsaw

how long have you been cutting with a chainsaw

 

Only about 3 months, majority of the cutting has been on a saw horse so theres really not been any risk of hitting the ground.

OREGON brand 91VX Low-Profile chainsaw chain

 

is that any good?

 

It flies, can not rate it highly enough

I have been using the Picco Super on my 261 with an eight slot sprocket...

Good combination for smaller stuff.

[adw]

A .325 sprocket is readily available for the 236, as the earlier 235/240 ran .325 as standard, this was dropped in favour of the 3/8 low profile chain, sprocket no. 530048132 .325 7 tooth

Husqvarna 236, I want to change it so I can get a real full chisel chain (Without anti kickback features). All I can find for Picco is chains with the anti kickback features.

 

I'll be buying a bigger pro saw soon so its probably not even worth it, but the chain that came with my 236 is shite.

 

That is a weak saw, and not suitable for regular 3/8" or ,325.

 

Keep it as is, and run Stihl 63PS chain on it. That is "yellow" chisel chain. Make sure you get the right dl count.
