Its thought to be difficult to do and many CANT do it! Ive always been decent with files etc so im hoping the learning curve wont be too tricky. If it is i will buy one of the ATOP guides mentioned earlier. As I mentioed the files are expensive and the other problem is that the dont last very long as you more or less have to file from outside in so your pushing the chrome through the stroke insted of what happens when you round file from the inside out and the chrome just chips off. Those pesky yanks that make Race chains grind off the layer of chrome as the metal below can be made sharper than the layer of chrome will allow. Me I dont need ported saws or fast chains but its a hobby of mine trying to outcut my mate by huge margins:001_smile:

Highland Horn - damascus steel, sgian dubhs & dirks The guy in the next industrial unit to us sells knifemaking stuff the Damascus blades are awsome! The price list is down just now but its about £40 for a blade blank

I have 2 loops of Oregon Square and yep it does cut a bit faster! The files are pricy i just spent $140 on 20 files from the US. ( Being lazy on working out what i paid in £s) The reason they cut faster is, As we all know its the side of the cutter that does most of the work not the top plate, The square filed chain severs the wood here where the round filed tears it out. ANY full chisel round ground chain can be made square BTW. And they can be sharpened on a grinder not just filed. But the sharpeners are expensice i think they start about $1000 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/sunlover3/C19.jpg

Its bark i know but hows that for a level Transit load:biggrin: Thats only supposed to be 4 cube!!!!!!

Thats one reason:001_smile: The 10/22 does everything i need it to. Its been accurised a bit, The headspace in the bolt has been reduced and the trigger modded to just over 2 lbs 1/2" at 50 yards with Winchester subsonic hollow points. Yes it will jam now and then but if kept clean it will work perfect for about 200 rounds. Its nice to just keep looking through the scope and picking the bunnies off ive never felt the need for a bolt action .22 The 2 mags glued together is awsome for in the truck at night, Just flip it over and fill when you get a chance then flip it again and you have 1 up the spout and 10 in the mag ready to go plus you dont lose the mags by setting them down!

Oceans are heating, not the atmosphere Global Warming Not Caused By CO2 Background Science Explained Here Gary Novak Independent Scientist Science Home Global Warming: Global Warming Main Page Crunching the Numbers Absorption Spectra Explanations Oceans not Rising Future Ice Age Acid in the Oceans Context -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cause of Ice Ages and Present Climate Summary In Simple Words CO2 Charlatanism IPCC Propaganda The Water Vapor Fraud The 41% Fraud The 30% Fraud Stephan-Boltzmann Constant The Disputed Area A Fake Mechanism Global Dynamic "Delicate Balance" Fraud Thermometer Manipulations Heinz Hug Measurement Fake Data—The Hockey Stick Graph Global Dynamic of Carbon Dioxide Production Because oceans are alkaline (pH 8.1), they absorb all carbon dioxide from the air, but salt drives out one third the amount of CO2 plants need to grow on. Without salt in the oceans there would not be enough CO2 in the air for plants to grow on. 1. The standard method of studying CO2 in a laboratory is to absorb it into an alkaline solution. The oceans are alkaline. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. If oceans weren't regulating the amount of CO2 in the air, the graph would be all over the place. Some years would show two or three times as much as other years. Instead, every year is identical with only a few parts per thousand change per year. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Oceans exchange CO2 with the atmosphere at 19 times the rate humans produce it. see numbers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Biology depends upon it, and there is a shortage. Corals remove carbon dioxide from the environment by creating calcium carbonate reefs from their shells. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Carbon dioxide in the oceans is improving coral reef production, contrary to the acid-in-the-ocean fraud. A turning point for some scientists occurred decades ago when some jackass said the oceans are in layers, and the surface layer is too thin to absorb much carbon dioxide. The claim is absurd, because the ocean surface is alkaline with no detectable increase in acidity, which means it is going to absorb carbon dioxide regardless of how thick the surface layer is said to be. Propagandists are claiming that 33-50% of the CO2 which humans put into the air is absorbed by the oceans. There is no method of measuring the amount. Since the amount is contrived, it changes with convenience. It is unscientific to split the CO2 into two quantities—the amount absorbed by the oceans and the amount left in the air. There is no force in nature to split the quantities. The real force of nature is equilibrium. This means CO2 moves into and out of the oceans at a controlled rate determined by salt content, pH and temperature. Since the surface of the oceans is alkaline (pH 8.1), CO2 is absorbed with great vigor, and only high salt content allows a small amount to be expelled. Increased temperature allows an increased amount of CO2 to be expelled. Since the oceans were much warmer during the dinosaur years, there was five times as much CO2 in the atmosphere. On this basis, oceans are allowing 385 ppm CO2 in the air regardless of the amount humans produce. The oceans are taking out all of the CO2 that humans produce but releasing increased amounts due to increased ocean temperatures. The effect of temperature is demonstrated when an El Nino heats the Pacific Ocean. CO2 measurements in the air show an increase; and when the El Nino subsides, the amount of CO2 in the air returns to normal. Real science shows that CO2 doesn't hang in the air for centuries as propagandists claim. The oceans exchange CO2 with the atmosphere at 19 times the rate humans produce it. So the human effect disappears in the forces of nature, and the global warming scam disappears with it. On a long term basis, CO2 is tied up in the oceans as calcium carbonate in coral reefs. Propagandists claim that increased carbon dioxide is destroying coral reefs by causing the oceans to become more acidic. There has been no measurable increase in acidity of the oceans, because the amount humans produce is miniscule compared to the ocean's capacity. The surface oceans contain 1,000 GTC, and it does not stay there. It circulates into the deep oceans, and it gets used in producing coral reefs. The intermediate and deep oceans contain 38,000 GTC. Humans add 8.5 GTC to the air per year. The implication of corals being damaged is a fraud. No measurement has ever shown coral damage due to carbon dioxide or acidity. All coral damage is caused by other factors, such as temperature increase, while humans cannot cause ocean temperatures to increase. The oceans have a thousand times as much heat capacity as the atmosphere, which means the miniscule and contrived temperature increase of the atmosphere is not the cause of oceans heating. Acidity caused by carbon dioxide cannot harm corals, contrary to fraudulent claims from recent science. Both the theory and fake studies are a fraud in claiming acidity destroys the ability of corals to make shells from calcium carbonate. No direct measurement has shown damage to corals from carbon dioxide entering the oceans. The theory is a fraud, because it refers to “acidity” rather than carbonation. Dumping acid into an aquarium in a laboratory is nothing resembling carbon dioxide entering the oceans. The theory says that acid reduces carbonate, which it does. But carbon dioxide isn’t just acid; it is in equilibrium with carbonate. Equilibrium means the more CO2 that is added, the more carbonate there is. Honest scientists know this and have explained it to no avail. This means corals grow better as carbon dioxide enters the oceans, particularly since the oceans have such huge buffering capacity that no detectable acidity has occurred as a result of CO2 entering the oceans. Corals have been removing carbon dioxide from the environment for tens of millions of years. The small amount that humans add is a slight correction for the benefit of corals, not a harmful effect on the environment. The most significant fact of this whole subject of carbon dioxide and global warming is that increases caused by humans are so miniscule compared to natural variations that any harmful effects would have occurred naturally many times over. Yet nature survives ice ages every 100,000 years and similar effects which totally swamp anything humans do. A new study and web site explains the oceanography of carbon dioxide and shows the errors of the propagandists who claim that increased CO2 in the oceans will make the oceans more acidic and destroy coral reefs. Near the surface of the oceans, increased photosynthesis creates alkalinity rather than acidity. There is in fact a shortage of acid near the surface for the promotion of photosynthesis. The decay which creates acidity occurs 1-2 kilometers down, which is way below the level of coral reefs. This subject is explained by Dr. J. Floor Anthoni here: New Oceanograhy Study CO2 is good, not bad — Roy Spencer

Yep it can be expensive up here! We have this and can fill a Transit fairly heaped in 30 mins once its set up £100 per load of softwood deliverd locally if its just tipped off. Thats a crewcab Tranny so it holds a fair bit less than the single cab.

Maybe not my 262XP though:thumbup: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUxq-KABPlQ]YouTube - Muffler modded Stihl 036 Vs Ported Husqvarna 262XP both with new loops of Stihl RSC[/ame] [ame] [/ame]

Hey Joe that 257 could be made to outcut a 262XP without too much work. Aint the 359 the replacement? external covers over the transfers if i remember right? Could be made to cut twice as fast as stock with a little dremel work:001_smile:

Seems to take an hour or so for them to show up sometimes Post a link so we can try.

Yep they are only 0.2 hp more than a 357 and with the tanks full and bar and chain fitted are so near the same weight that a kitchen scales cant tell. But If Husky still made the 262XP we would never have these debates:thumbup:

You can replace the 361 oil pump with the full 460R (full wrap) high capacity oil pump assembly The Stihl part number is: 1128 640 3250 oil pump assembly You can also keep the 361 oil pump and just replace the piston and control bolt with the 460R parts. The Stihl part numbers for these are: 1128 647 0602 oil pump piston 1128 647 4803 oil pump control bolt

Heres a modified Stihl bar to Husky 009 adaptor You can see the shiny spot where I ground out a little metal so the adaptor fits over the screw. Tree Beard took me the adaptor home from the US in one of his orders, Cheers Buddy! The modified adaptor on place, It will fit the other way forward as well. Aint that neat! Now aint that pretty! The oiler hole lines up fine so if you want to fit the toughest longest lasting bars on your Makita its easy

WOW how could you lose one of those! Its not like they fall off anytime you have the top cover off lol The 242XP is even less secure GRRR

All good advice but consider a Makita DCS5000/5001. 3.8 HP and fairly cheap.

Yikes! My one is ported and theres no overheating. You sure its not running a little lean on the H? Do you have a tach? if so whats the max rpms? im 13,900 but again mine has been ported. I would think you shouldnt be over 13,100 stock. If the revs are much more than that its time for a check up.

It dont matter i can picture the whole thing in my head:lol:

Hey Al you seem much nicer here:thumbup: You missing Tom and Dennis lol I was impressed with the welding the tin cans together!

262XP is from 1992, week 23 - and the the 242XP from 1995, week 23 I have a Jonsereds 451e from 1978 that runs great but never gets used now i have the 242

Thats a really good price Im about £30 a pair for Hoggs overtrousers that aint even hi vis.

Hey Scott no vids of the one Al mentioned here:001_smile:

We are the self preservation society:thumbup:

Been stuck on a FS450 strimmer all summer. Didnt touch a saw for 6 months but we should be doing more soon. Seeing as we have this Yep make that 257 into a 262 and get that dremel in there. Its my fave saw if only it had a side chain adjuster and inboard clutch.

These are the best ones ive had as well! Ive got odd ears and have to put them in wide end first. Roll them thin IN the packet rather than with your mucky fingers.
