You can get all the pricing here Guide bars the light types are a few quid more than the solid ones.
-
Unfortunately does take a long long time - at least 4 months I'd say...
-
Pretty much as strong as the solid version except if you were to bend it you may pop the resin inserts out! Where as you can sometimes bend a solid bar back into shape.
-
Good stuff - I'll be weighing the bars over Xmas to compare the pro bars with the light type bars.

Done lots of Xmas markets this year... Lots of chopping boards, tea light holders, and a few shot glass trays... It's tricky pricing things - the best way to do it is keep overheads low, production low and prices high IMO... I've tried to upscale things this year - you can sell x20 items easily, x1000 items is very hard.. you end up having to go through retailers - time consuming and painful! I'm throttling back on the wood side of things now - just not got the time... would rather do as a hobby and sell a few bits here and there....

Will soon be setting up the next order of Sugi bars - will be getting 100 of the 15" sugi light types for Huskys... also laminated lightweight version... If you want one of those don't leave it too long as by far the most popular length and mount ie. 15" light type for Husky 550,560, 346 etc What other bars are people after? (bear in mind have to order x30 a time) - was going to get 18" for 372s (already have 20"), 12" and 14" for the new Husky top handled, 10" carving bar for MS150 (that will run the new Stihl 1/4" .043 chain)... ... any other suggestions? Will do a separate thread on this over Xmas..

Mirror mirror on the wall.... who makes the best chainsaw file of them all?
Rob D replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
That's an idea - the main people affected are those that live in areas outside of mainland UK... In the end I think I'll have to look at a way of cross referencing postcode with price of order.... Also I'm not sure if you can legally say 'delivery at your own risk' ie. as a seller you have a legal requirement to refund if someone does not receive their order.... would have to look into this... -

I had x3 parcels go missing in one month and that was enough for me.... So depressing all round - all x3 had to be re sent... one turned up x2 weeks after it should have - had to pay the postage to get the customer to send it back to me!! Compensation? You can only claim after 6 weeks and then it is long winded and limited in amount. -

Yep - I know what you're saying and it's been said before hence this thread.... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsawbars/63176-delivery-costs-explained-csb.html I've spent a long time thinking the best way to do it... and still come to the same conclusions... That said - I am happy to send by Royal Mail and charge what they charge - but you must take the hit if it does not reach you. I use x2 printed labels with sellotape over this.. but this has still not guaranteed that they reach you... I should be getting some more save edge files in shortly... -
Doesn't look quite like a burr to me... more a convoluted re growth around an old wound... interesting non the less!
-
Ditto - got the oregon one - put a carving bar on it but it is a pretty heavy thing for starters... good for inside the workshop and when you don't want much noise.
-
Come on - let's have a few whys and wherefores then?
-
They look better than any other bar and they seem stiffer and better made.... Their light type bars are some of the best light types in the world - ok not huge weight saving (I am doing some weighing at the mo.... but still not finished ). Do they last longer? Yep - the rails are tempered as hard as is possible to be. But any advantages are subtle really - a guide bar is a guide bar - but if you want a nice one - buy one of the light type pro bars. Only problem is am already running out of the 15" K095 mounts and from ordering to unpacking is a long time...another order going in soon though.
-
What's the model number? Have a look here and if it is a K095 mount or D009 mount you're in luck! OREGON®: Selector Guide Can PM me or e-mail me if you need more help [email protected]

Great bench designs

Would the people after posts buy from you? Do you have a market for them? Selling things in bulk (I have found) to be the hardest bit!
-
Got one - but will have to re wire it - it's wireless and the picture keeps breaking up.....

All the prices are here Jon. Products for the category: Round files I still have a few (and only a few packs) of 3/16" and 7/32" - but should have more in 10 days in all sizes. -

That would run it! Am getting some more save edge files in with next Granberg order... -
As said before - keep the 30" on the 600 and put a longer bar on the 3120 - no ifs buts or maybes about it! I have 40" bar at £145-00+vat or 46" at £185-00+vat for 3120 - Sugihara and they don't flop about like other long bars can do... Guide bars I have sold a few 42" bars to go on 660s - but only where it is that persons only chainsaw.... get a long bar for the 3120... :biggrin:

Cracking looking tree!

Nice work and nice thought on your part Dan
-
It's a tricky market selling wood... you need to give plenty of pics (with some of the wood planed if poss) and also what you want for them...
-
I think the grinder works well if you're a take the chain off the saw to sharpen it and replace with a sharp chain... but that is something that would never work for me and most people I know sharpen the chain while it is still on the bar... ... horses for courses really!
