As Ty has said - if you are def going to stick with that saw - a small log mill and mini mill combo will give you the most use out of it.... Sharp chain is the key to milling!
-
<p>Oh and yes - just select an 018 to see all the carving bar options - they are all universal mounts and will all fit on the MS150.</p>
-
<p>Does it apply to the 10 & 12 & 14 inch dime tips. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000;">Yes all the dime tips and Q tips will fit the MS150 - on the dime tips they do need that extra drive link..I need to work out how to show this with the selectors.</span></p>
<p>Is it a solid bar - dime tip that you are waiting for ? Do you have an idea of what they will cost and would I really notice a great deal of difference between 10/12 inch light type and solid ??</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000;">The ones I am getting will be R7 (7mm tip), the dime tips I have are R10 (10mm) tip.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000;">The new ones I am getting will run the 1/4" .043" chain - the ones I have run the 1/4" .050" chain.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000;">If this is to be your only carving bar you need a standard dime set up... the new ones I am getting are only for detail work - they will not last at all doing regular carving.</span></p>
<p> If I decide to go with a light type should I select a different saw to be able to select the bar ? Sorry to muck about !!! But I'm desperate to get a dime tip on it </p>
<p>Thanks Ross</p>

It's harder than you think to get hold of these bars in that if I went to order off oregon here in the UK - it will show as an invalid number... yet the bars are available in the US.... oregon don't want to supply anything here that will only have a limited demand. Ref Sugi - it's not a problem getting the bars in either a Husky mount running .063 or the other way round.. the trouble is matching demand and supply. Each and every bar size, mount and type (laminated,laminated light, solid pro, light type pro) has to be order in the 30s... ie x30 of every variation! It may be in the future I can get some spacers (actually organising now) so that you can put a Stihl bar onto a Husky saw and ok you may have to drill another oiler hole... The whole .058 and .063 guage for 60cc+ causes so many problems ref stock... but can't see it changing...

Thanks for the positive review - it's been a tough month in that our last mills shipment was 6 weeks overdue so we lost all overlap of stock mills wise... also oregon seem to be up to 3 weeks behind on some bits and pieces... I think we have pretty much caught up now. Rob

<p>That's it Ross - I started the order around 2 months ago - a slow process - you can put the sugi light type dime tips on the MS150 - but the chain you need requires an additional drive link... select from the custom selector here <a href="http://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/custom-chain-loops/" rel="external nofollow">Custom chain loops</a> so if the bar reads 60 drive links you need to order 61...</p>

Nice work Roni - glad you are liking the bar. Yes they go on the MS150 - the tip is a tiny R6 (a dime tip is R9/R10) This just refers to the radius of the tip in mm... it only takes the new Stihl 1/4" .043 chain - and is only for fine finish detailing... harder use can cause the nose to splay - more details here if you need. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsawbars/68487-samurai-legend-comp-extreme-9-r6-carving-bar-stihl-ms150.html

Just watched the vid - good job
-
Good stuff Jon!
-
I need to re do the video for the quad - my opinion is that it is as solid as the dual and the timberjack - but is a little more fiddly... Once I have it figured out I'll re post - it really comes into it's own for sawing smaller long branches...
-
Cheers Jon - I know where I can send anyone for a glowing reference!
-
I am getting more feet in - just taken them off the website mainly because I'm not sure when the next order will be in - around 2 months I think - when here I will stick a thread up.
-
I'd look at importing these but I don't think they are CE marked - that is a bit of an expensive stumbling block...
-
Great stuff! :biggrin:
-
That all seems pretty fair Steve - hope it comes through smoothly. Wouldn't life be a lot simpler if Stihl moved to .058 or Husky moved to .063??
-
It's a tricky one Steve - I have to buy x30 of each bar in each type and size - this is the first time I've been asked for the 24" in .063. I would see if you can get a bar from the US that fits the bill - or even a couple to water down the import costs...

Samurai Legend comp extreme - 9" R6 carving bar for Stihl MS150
Rob D replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
Many thanks for the review and comments - sorry I have only just seen it hence late reply Glad you got on well with the bar. -
If importing from outside the EU - you should always be paying import vat (20%), import duty and a handling fee... import vat you can claim back in the usual way if vat registered. If from the EU - if you have a vat number you can give this to a supplier and they can then zero rate the vat (or that country's vat equivalent). Sometimes smaller parcels seem to slip through without the above... not sure why!
-
They're the same size on the outside but I think will prob not have the same internal size... it's only a slight difference. The stihl lo pro rim should go on all all the stihl saws that are sub 55cc (as a rule of thumb!) Would have to get all the rims out to double check!
-
That's my understanding - pretty annoying yet in the larger rims ie. standard size I'm pretty sure the stihl and oregon rims are interchangable. So you can't put oregon rims on stihl rim and sprocket set ups when looking at the SM sizes....
-
Good news and hope she continues to make a good recovery
-
It was from John Lloyd Rob - can't remember which thread it was in... I will try and post the pics up. I'll try and get some details off John as well..

Samurai Legend comp extreme - 9" R6 carving bar for Stihl MS150
Rob D replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
Good stuff - just bear in mind the small nose is for detail work only - too much pressure ad you can splay the nose so is for finishing touches.. If you can put up some pics when you use it ideal -
Yep - just put your saw in here Chainsawbars ? chainsaw chains, chainsaw bars and chainsaw accessories Select 550xp and it will bring the options up.
-
Only got one left at the moment Jon - you love them log jacks! In fact only one I have left is my one!
