  1. Well I have used and abused mine and never had a problem
  2. Yup:thumbup1:
  3. Have you ever had a branch inside a spring?
  4. Air assistors is gooooood:thumbup1:
  5. Time to start bringing your own
  6. Is it going in his saws or yours?
  7. And tapping the top edge of the screen will do the same thing on the ipad
  8. Don't underestimate the chain replacement time, I have had chains last hours in contaminated timber, ahhhh the woes of urban tree surgery. I am with Huck on this one, the only exception was a stint of urban poplar felling where the kids off the estate had gone to town with nails over the years but that had as much to do with getting out of bandit country as anything else. The damage was usually quite severe so it was often quicker to put a new chain on the 880 than sharpen 8 feet of mullered chain on site.
  9. Could you make the "unread posts" link a bit more conspicuous please.
  10. Gearbox splines are straight, unless you work them really really hard:laugh1:
  11. Running a splitter is simple, fir quick release couplings to any service, probably the bucket crowd ram, then just plug them into the splitter.
  12. Well you might not want a wide board but if you have a big saw you can rip a big stem down to quarters and saw them.
  13. But we aren't made of the same materials, the human body is way more flexible than wood
  14. Type "C" are for when its cold, any time else its "A" all the way
  15. I think you will find there are 2 Morse taper shanks and 2 parallel shanks Huuuuump
  16. Lube isn't a factor with cutters, squaring the angle will make the cutter a little more durable at the cost of power and vibration. It will also make more dust
  17. It's the shape of the cutter that reduces vibe, the "hump" on the top of the drive link isn't a depth gauge per se, it's to reduce kickback.
  18. I would rather sharpen a full chisel chain more often than struggle with a semi chisel
  19. I run LPX on my ported 390 and it does fine
  20. I have been keeping used up chains for a project, its amazing how fast the box had filled.
  21. You have no room to take the pee out of any chip box after that red barn you built
  22. If the cutters are all off one side you might have trouble getting it to cut straight, sharpen it and see how it goes
  23. You (or your insurer) will cover whatever the law holds you responsible for and you don't get to decide that.
  24. There are those with more faith than you or I and for them dropping in the plate is a way of life. I lost a church job to a bloke who did it for faith, probably thought it would get him a ticket to the pearly gates.
