Can you tell someones age group from the way they Post
morten replied to gensetsteve's topic in The Lounge
Lots of internet abbreviations like LOL, LMAO, ROTFL indicates that the poster is less than 25 years old Proper spelling and punctuation indicates that the poster is more than 40 years old. But everyone posts silly smileys -
After using Save Edge files once, I'll never use anything else! They are so much more effective and long lasting than any other file. Here's a link to the survey result: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsawbars/47661-mirror-mirror-wall-who-makes-best-chainsaw-file-them-all-2.html#post744639 Get them here: Products for the category: Round files

Any chance of uploading a picture of on of the old ones? -
Yes, a slack tending pulley will work fine on a Blakes hitch. In fact, it will work better than on a prussik, which has more of a tendency to tighten up than a Blakes does.

This can get you a basic website with your own domain name (yourname.co.uk) quickly and for free: Getting British Business Online But I agree with the sentiments above, that it is well worth it having someone help you with getting something up that conveys a professional image while being optimised for showing up on various search engines (mainly Google and Bing), a.k.a. SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Good luck

Just out of interest. What were their nationality? Were they locals? Don't you have a way of seeking compensation from the guys for the value of the goods. Even if they are unable to pay, you have a perpetual claim on the guys until the day they pay. And if they have any assets beyond what is required to sustain a basic living, it may be recovered and sold. Most countries have such a system. Civil court thing. Don't know about the UK, though and what the court costs are. Worth investigating?

If you get a "corkscrew" action, it's either a result of you putting sideways force on the saw, or (more likely) an unevenly sharpened chain (dull cutters on one side, uneven top plate angles and/or uneven depth gauges).

The website for the VIBE Virb Action Camera | Garmin seems to indicate that the rechargable battery can be swapped out. Another good feature is time lapse photography. From the specs:

One suggestion for you... If you mount the bar in the mini mill vertically, or even with the tip of the bar facing slightly forward, you will use less energy pushing the saw into the cut. With the tip of the bar facing backwards (as in your picture), you spend quite a bit of energy countering the backwards pull of the chain. I hope you understand what I am on about. I don't know how to better describe it

I just noticed a review of a new action camera by Garmin, that looks like it was made to compete directly with the GoPro. Here is a link to the review: GoPro killer? Garmin tries to make a dent in red-hot action cam market with VIRB | The Verge And here is a video presentation (by Garmin) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6CGI3XkAiQ]Garmin presents VIRB - YouTube[/ame] It looks like the deal, but only time will tell whether it will stand up to use and abuse.

If you are unsure that the oil pump is at fault, you should rule out other causes of bad oiling first: Blocked oiling hole in bar Blocked oil tank filter Blocked oil channels (tank to pump, pump to bar) Bent worm drive shaft (driven by a notch in the clutch drum) But I guess you have already done that?

It's fairly straight forward. The video below will give you an idea, but it's generally a good idea to have the Service Manual and parts list available too. If you don't, then drop me a PM, and I'll see what I can do to help [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXgCSEFQ6MQ]How to Replace the Bar & Chain Oil Pump Worm Gear on a Stihl MS 029 Chainsaw - YouTube[/ame]

Copper nails killing trees is an urban myth. Gents, something in your pocket kills trees – and it’s not a copper nail.

The MS 461 (or MS 460) has about 5% more power than the MS 441, so I would agree with "tiny bit more" rather than "far more" power. To compare chainsaw power/weight (manufacturers specs) for various brands and models, refer to this list that I compiled some time back http://bit.ly/chainsaw-data

the interference between the handle of the mini mill and the break handle of the saw will cost you 4 inches. I just don't see how that may be reduced. Do you have a picture substantiating your 2 inch claim? And remember that the guide rail will likely be taking 2" off the effective cutting depth.
-
You can quarter saw a log by cutting right through it. If you bury the bar nose while milling, it will be very hot, and it is a little more difficult to control the forward motion of the mill, as the chain at bar nose will be pushing the the bar backwards. Sure it can be done, but you should avoid doing it whenever possible.
-
A ripping (0-10 degree) chain gives a slightly smoother finish, and is a little faster than a standard (25-30 degree) chain. Max bar size on a 441 would be 25". I've run a 25" bar on the mini mill using a MS361 and MS660. As already pointed out, you loose about 5" in a mini mill, and as you shouldn't cut with the nose of the bar, the 16" bar leaves you with less than 10" effective cutting depth.

As everyone else is saying: No problem cutting with the entire bar submerged in water. And even if you wait for 6 months, and the water has thermally hardened (a.k.a. ice), you just go ahead and cut through that ice, too. Been there, done that

I find it difficult to believe that the core moisture level is at 15%. Even at current temperatures and humidity levels, the water bound in the cells will not disperse that quickly. Even if the surface moisture level is at 15%, I believe that the core levels will be much higher (30%+). Did you try to make a fresh cut and measure the moisture level in the freshly cut face? I have just processed some 2" and 3" Spruce planks that I cut down in early March, and while the surface moisture levels are 14%, the core is at 22-27% still. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_drying

I've just spent a week on a beach - will have a look at the saw tomorrow, to see if I can find any hint to the cause of the problems.
