How long should a bar last?

[peatff]

You've had 3 years out of it (don't try to count the hours) and you fancy a bit of bling, just get one and a couple of new chains. A bit of retail therapy is good for you now and then.

If you don't debur the bar often enough it can cause bits of the edge to break off in the cut.

 

You can tell if it needs deburring by running your finger along the edge of the bar.

 

Only if you have a first aid kit with you

Or run your finger nail down it to see if there is a Burr lip

My thoughts too, i'll be using something less fleshlike than my delicate pinkies.

 

Thanks for all the advice chaps, sounds like an investment in a bar dresser might be worthwhile. Since im thinking this bar might be a little past it, i best get that sugi on order and turn the oiler up a touch.

 

Cheers Tom.

Hmm, I can tell if a bar needs dressing without needing gloves, or surgery.

 

Maybe I'm magic.

 

Go figure, geniuses.

Not magic, just careful
