  1. people do funny things with saws. As a rule of thumb if he's putting any force into it then the chains not sharp and he could potentially be steering it anywhere depending on his posture for example. The chain should glide through the wood of its own accord
  2. if he's using force to get the saw through the wood its not sharp anyway.
  3. Perfectly possibly. Your profit margin will likely be less though, but so will your headaches for the most part.
  4. Can you post a photo of the chain teeth Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. You're compromising your hinge that way if I understand you right Marc Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  8. Some great photos in this thread Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. Oo er, sounds a bit blue oyster ish to me Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. Most likely unevenly sharpened, and if it's burning one side of the groove then it's probably too far gone. New bar and chain, and some sharpening edumacation Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. You just take at least 6 saws everywhere with you and use whichever you fancy at the time Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. im too clumsy, would spend all day tripping over the lead
  13. could really use an image of a chainsaw carving set against a very neutral background that I could easily cut out
  14. Need an image for the Ecology forum please, something appropriate. Nearly there
  15. I used both the husky and stihl topping saw and there was nothing between them really. The Stihl was quieter though I have to say. Can't comment on any of the range beyond that though
  16. Congrats Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  20. Sounds like some of you guys use these when felling on the ground? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. Bloody hot here too, not as hot as there though no doubt Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. What size stuff are you planning to cut? I would t really want to use the battery hedge cutters on much more than clippings really, unlike my robin which i regularly use to cut through inch thick stuff. Likewise with the brush cutter, although I haven't used one I would t imagine they would be great for brambles etc Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
