  1. Cheers - I think cause his heart is still in his business and he enjoys and is knowledgeable about what he does.
  2. May be a combination of factors that cause this - it is a fiddly chain to sharpen well but the cleaness of cut can't be doubted.... suppose it is all about compromise. We have the GB mini bars that run this chain - seem thicker and better built than the Stihl bars and are cheaper if you want to try an alternative. Sold a few of these little GB bars but not had all that much feedback on them. It's a little bit annoying how they take 58 drive links not 56. You can also run these on the Echo 2511TES (and they take 59 drive links in that case). Chainsawbars selector for chainsaw guide bars, chains and sprockets
  3. Overheating the saw can also cause the piston to score and seize. We have only ever had x1 echo warranty - and it was fixed no quibble under warranty.
  4. It's hard to win with a conifer hedge - keep it super tight they seem to be vulnerable to patches dying, let them grow tall and no matter what you do the result is an eye sore! Bay hedges - that's where it's at! - lovely smell, dense, you can hit them hard and they recover, don't seem to get full of white fly...
  5. Keep with it Steve - in the end people will list their gear - but it will take more than asking once.... or twice.... or ... I'll add it to a newsletter again.
  6. You may have to watch the bar does not chip at that point.... But I expect it will keep on going with no issues.
  7. All good to know thanks for the feedback
  8. Ditto - I used Steve Cull when I had a bandsaw as well as the Ripper blades he sells. He's a saw miller himself and uses what he sells. Sharpened by bands for around £7+vat I think it was.
  9. I would go down the route of offering a service to others - selling timber is the hardest thing to do.
  10. 501SX I would say - it is one of the new modern Echo saws and a little cracker!
  11. Nice work - bandsaws are amazing particularly after you are used to chainsaw milling!
  12. Often get asked this so here is a vid on how to do it. [ame] [/ame]
  13. Video here on the postage tool....
  14. . Not on this one - it is a right royal pain - the reason? Folk would buy x4 packs and then not tell you which they want as the fifth pack... Then we spend a fair bit of time e-mailing and calling to find out which pack they want as their fifth pack. But ok tell you what - if you can put in the order details as you check out which you want as the fifth free pack - we'll do it as mixed. But only if you add to the order notes which pack you want free. [ame] [/ame]
  15. Hmmmm... maybe I should throw in one of those calculators with big buttons on this deal?
  16. ..... search for Chainsawbars Agl and pop us over a friend request.
  17. Not a huge offer - just a cheeky one We now have Vallorbe round files at £9.00+vat a dozen - all sizes available. Vallorbe files are pretty much the best available in the world so if you haven't tried them give them a go at this cheaper price - available for this price this week only. Buy any x4 packs the same size (no you can't mix and match!) and get a fifth pack free - this works out at £7.20+ vat per dozen and highly unlikely you will ever find better priced than that - ever! You searched for vallorbe - Chainsawbars
  18. Due in around 27th Feb - they will be around £475+vat
  19. Not sure - I'll pop an e-mail over to the importers now.
  20. Good point - will see if we can get that added
  21. I saw that and changed it - refresh the page if it is still displaying incorrectly.
  22. Hi Dorset Treeman, I run the Chainsawbars website for Rob, would you mind if we used your name and quote on the website? It's great to get the feedback! Thanks Pat:thumbup:
