Yep - nose sprockets on these need to be regularly greased in the correct way. Instructions as below: Sugi bars need to have the bar noses greased every 6 hours of work. Clean out grease hole Couple of pumps of grease, turn nose sprocket, couple of pumps, turn nose sprocket... Same other side Any resistance as you are doing this or if you can feel debris inside as you turn sprocket keep greasing until turns smoothly and evenly run chain gently for a minute or two (you can blow a nose sprocket by revving hard after greasing as the hydraulic effect of the grease can cause failure) After running in use as normal

I'd just through and through saw it best you can then firewood the rest...

Yep they are slightly different size - Pferd seem to make most but prob not all Stihl files - as you said you can always adapt the holes to take the oregon ones. I have the replacement flat files for them here Products for the category: EZ file

Nice milling - yep good fun what you can do all with yourself and a chainsaw

Chain Sharpening.. Acceptable discrepancy between teeth.
Rob D replied to champagnecharly's topic in Chainsaws
It's not a bad thing to do and ok prob not that necessary on a used bar and chain but a very good idea with a new bar and chain as there is a lot of friction there to start with. -
£20-00 sent - nice to see something fun and original to sponsor - what an adventure!

Through put is slow for me - but I tend to go for low volume high margin and all the wood I sell now has generally been through the planer. Such a catch 22 selling wood - people want to see what they are buying but for them to see it means a lot of work taking apart stacks of wood and planing for them to see it - and then they may not buy it anyway!
-
I can imagine - but good quality pics will always help you sell something no matter what is...
-
Cheers!

Sling a few piccies up Jon! That always helps.

Cool pics may pinch those!

Yep that's the best way to do it. I do have some Makita bars in 32"! They are 3/8" .050 guage though - I was thinking of changing the noses to .325 then you could run the oregon 95vpx chain ie. lo pro... but haven't got round to it yet. I think for the 9010 you need to - change the bar studs to 8mm then get some spacers Products for the category: Bar maintenance tools I have the bar studs for £4-95+vat - but to be fair I only bought these off ebay. This means you can run the D009 mount bars - which increases your bar options a great deal!

Thunderbirds are go! - new Sugihara bars due in 3 weeks - pre order offer.
Rob D replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
Pleasure - all the bars arrived Monday and it has been manic getting them unpacked, shelved then re packed and sent out - thanks for everyone's patience. The new Sugihara light type R7 bars look good for the MS150 and hopefully should prove to be tougher than the Samurai R6s! (pics comparing to a standard dime tip bar). May have a go with one on an MS192C-E to see if it will take the larger amount of power but at the moment these are for the MS150 only. Other than that more of the same- slightly larger range now. Next order will be more about multi mount bars and also some thinner kerf bars for milling.

Dragging hard on the back stroke probably is - lightly is fine and also some old timers actually think it achieves a better edge. Horses for courses really - if you can achieve a nicely sharpened tooth I don't think there is a right way or wrong way. -
The 12v grinders seem to use a lot of amps... Pdf attached if that helps - but really the best and easiest way is a 12v battery - if in a workshop rig a solar charger or 12v trickle charger to the battery. Power rating for 12v grinders.pdf

Excellent Si

Glad you're on the road to recovery and hope the new wood business goes well.
-
Poor Nick - wishing him a speedy recovery and hope he gets back into the work he loves.
-
That turned out more than just ok - looks absolutely cracking - will def be having a go myself now! :biggrin:
-
Yep good idea - use the mini mill to follow a line and you should be able to cut a curve - post your pics up - it's something I've always wanted to try and make and got lots of poplar in the yard...
-
Got plenty of slabs but too far (I am in south) - how far is Big J from you? I'm sure he'd be able to oblige!

Ref that saw good news is oregon do drive sprocket for it and it is a K095 mount. Parts are as below. Oregon selector guide although full of in accuracy is a godsend OREGON®: Selector Guide. I know you don't want to spend too much - but the trouble is a worn drive sprocket will have worn the drive links which will have worn the bar. If you change just one thing it's similar to changing the oil on your car but not changing the oil filter at the same time.
