Easy lift harness - I have seen it in the flesh and it's a cracking bit of kit
-
Very professional looking carving
-
Thank the lord you all got out of there ok!
-
Cool set up - be interesting to see how that works out - I know the chainsaw carver Nick Speakman runs 1/4" chain on a quarter tip bar on a 550XP! And has not broken any chains so I'd say you'll be fine there. When you say dime tip - it looks more like a Rollamatic E bar on there rather than a dime tip... what's the bar part number? I may look to get some Sugihara 12"/14"/16"/18" bars with a 1/4" nose sprocket for 200 and 201s - as in theory should be a good combo and would also allow you to run longer bars on these saws...
-
Do you find there is any chain slop so to speak in that bar? As the new stihl chain is .043" guage and I think that bars is .050"? Stihl have now got some very small nose carving bars out - like the Samurai bars they are laminated with very small nose diameter - they look quite fragile very walled rails! Will stick some pics up in a couple of days.

It is a cool looking chain. We have it although not in the selectors yet - but all chains can be found here Custom chain loops though we are a little more expensive... I'm not a direct Stihl dealer and so all Stihl equipment is available off CSB. I bought quite a few £s worth that would last through the online selling ban before it came into force... As below one PS and one PS3.

Nice load of pics there John - starting to build up a good load of timber there -
Just here - Guide bars You can get the bar that runs the 95vpx chain as well - which is a lower pro chain that helps keep chain speed up. Only Oregon have these at the mo although will be getting some Sugi ones in soon... If you do buy a bar put in 'arbtalk' as the voucher code for a free gift. Rob

You'll get a Cannon to fit no prob - they come in a wide range of mounts... But get a Sugihara - not got the light types yet but do have the pro solid versions (but I am biased!) - they are both great bars... if you buy a Sugihara and don't like it you can return it for refund and get a Cannon!
-
Good stuff - thanks for posting the pic Ed -
-
Great looking table and bench
-
Thought so - but does the D009 bar still all line up ref oiler hole etc even though there is a bit of play?
-
They've run out of studs but there's another on ebay selling for £4-95. I'm hoping I haven't found a fly in the ointment - but with 8mm studs won't this give a K095 type mount and not a D009 mount? K095 = 8mm slot D009 = 9mm slot So then if only a K095 mount max bar would be 24" - did you get a chance to try your 576 bar on the Makita Ed? It'll fit but is there a lot of play where it sits over the mounting bolts?
-
That's it - so you can do first cut with the Alaskan and side cuts with mini mill - all on one system.
-
Actually I have got these (sorry - hidden behind another sprocket ) will PM as well.
-
I'd love to see a way that you would have a set of first cut rails like a ladder type set up - that you could use to get the first cut but then it would also act as the rail for the mini mill or a mini mill type set up... Maybe one day!
-
Nope all gone I'm afraid as are 12" light type for 200T etc, 25" for 441 etc, 28" for 395xp, and now running low on other sizes as well - long time to wait for next load but I'm putting in another order now so they will start overlapping better!
-
Sorry late reply - yes may get some 16" light types in for the MS260 - no where near as much demand for bars for the MS260/MS261 than for the 550 and 560... could be because people still like to use Stihl bars... But all the 15" and 18" in sugi pro solid and light type have now sold out Next delivery for 1st July
-
Nice series of pics to go through - you'll have plenty there after getting through that lot!
-
How are they looking? I'd say around the £35-£40 a cubic foot mark would be a fair price...
-
Awesome bit of kit!
-
Stihl 08,088 or as Alec said 070,075,076 - all are good milling saws. MS880 and 090 go for a lot of money on ebay these days...
-
Thanks for updating the thread Jon I've had it milling where I've got halfway up the log, milling steadily then the whole mill just came to a halt - jammed! Bar looked and seemed fine - but was the cause!
-
Pleasure!

It's to do with purines I think? - my mate suffered from it - agony - but cleaning up lifestyle and reducing intake of these foods sorted his out...
