  1. Last chance to make use of the expanded loyalty discounts on Chainsawbars - we're going back to standard tiers Friday Weds next week. You're still getting an extra 4% [I think] on these tiers for a summer offer. Any orders you want to get in get in now! Chainsawbars - Selectors for guide bars, chains and sprockets WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK Chainsawbars - Largest selection of chainsaw guide bars and chainsaw chain for Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo and Dolmar...
  2. Have started to add more Dime Kit carving kits to ebay where you get the sprocket/chain/bar Ebay is pretty good when you need to list a lot of options that would otherwise clutter the website up with product listings: cannon+dime+kit for sale | eBay WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find great deals on eBay for cannon+dime+kit. Shop with confidence.
  3. You can go to a 24" bar on a 50-60cc saw but you may want to switch then to 3/8 chain and skip link.. though that said we will be getting some .325 in skip link in full chisel at some point in the near future. But in essence - no one saw will do everything well.
  4. What size trees are you looking to cut? Likely something with 50cc-60cc and an 18" bar would work. You can then change the bar up if needed.
  5. With regards which chain works the best - the only way to find out is above - try and few chains and then decide which chain works best for YOU as that then becomes the best chain. We should prob add things like the Bosch saws into the selector really.. will have a look at that.
  6. We're going to start setting up carving kits on the website to make it easier to buy carving kits so that you get a bar/sprocket/x2 chains Stihl and Echo are the preferred carving saws mainly because Husky can be a nuisance to source 1/4 drive sprockets for and also you often need a gasket as they don't have a plate in the side cover CBW-30000 Cannon Bar Mount Gasket WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK CBW-30000 Cannon Bar Mount Pad - Stops Bar Oil Seepage.

  7. The idea of the Panther Five O range is as follows: All bars are in .050[1.3mm] including the mid sizes .325 and 3/8 bars Bar lengths give equal left and right cutters for a smoother cut Chain size is equal across different brands so ie. a 12” bar for a Husky T540 XP will have 44 drive links AND a 12” bar for a Stihl MS201 will have 44 drive links AND a 12” bar for an Echo CS-362 will have 44 drive links. Same for the .325 and 3/8 bars [3/8 bars will go on Stihl saws and also Husky saws with a 9mm to 12mm adapter] Only x3 chains sizes required 3/8 lo pro .050[1.3mm], .325 .050[1.3mm] and 3/8 .050[1.3mm]

  14. Hi Mick - is that .325 chain? I spent 3 hours trying to square file 325 chain [it was a few years ago] but I'm not sure it's possible - the angle you have to hold the file means you hit the top of the chain tie straps or there is something that blocks it. I had same shape as you got. It should look more like below - more right angled. Cracking vid here - and mega expensive files here if you're still keen! But I think you need 3/8 or .404 to get a true result. Flat files - Chainsawbars WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK Click here to go back to the chain sharpening tools menu
  15. I think the EXL is new materials - it's a little harder to sharpen but seems to be popular. DPX is the semi chisel and has been around for a long time.
  16. Yep it's a good point really - if you said a file per chain and the chain is already fairly expensive..
  17. Yep I know what you mean - but at least this one will stand out! Start writing to them maybe - as in theory it should be fairly easy to do - the top part of the chain is the same. But maybe they want to keep it for themselves for a bit.
  18. Yep they do other chains in .058 but they tend to be the exception to the rule - I don't think they'll do this in .058 [could be wrong though...]
  19. Yep it sort of is but I suppose it is an innovative chain and file system so...
  20. No it's only in a .063 - Stihl pretty much only make for Stihl
  21. First reply so if you buy a chain off our website [and a file] then post some pics and a review up on this thread I'll refund the order.
  22. Don't need to be a Stihl bar...
  23. What size bar you looking for?
  24. First to say it might actually get it!
  25. Or what do you want to try it?
