i used Straight veg oil from supermarkets for two years without too much trouble. Im a carver and use saws from ms660 down to 27cc echo. No problem with over heating carving bars either. only problems that ive had that could be linked with using veg oil are. ms200 overheated poss due to gunk oil buildup on cooling fins. Echo cs270wes oil pump worm gear worn out. I made quite a saving over the years using veg oil so not so bothered about the odd oil pump replacement. I now use mineral oil on small horizontal stroke saws as they are a bitch to keep fins clean. I cant see any harm in using veg oil in mid- large saws. Just blow off saws after use and if keep for weeks unused then flush out system before storing.

Hi. im a full time chainsaw carver in need of a yard/farm/estate etc to carve at and have a small secure workshop/shed/shipping container for storing tools/finished carvings etc. Need vehical access and about 20ft x 20ft ish to carve and store timber. Saws are noisy and dusty as u all now but even more so when carving so needs to be away from houses etc. If someone has a bit of spare room in there yard and would benefit from extra income and the added security of having a saw wielding thief deterant around, than let me know. Thanks oh and i live in WD4 Kings Langley,Herts so nearer there the better.

Tommys a friend and a great new talent on the scene. I mainly use teak oil and sometimes a few coats of danish on top if i need a bit more of a shine. what ever oil u use its better than none to help replace lost moisture, slow drying and reduce cracks.

thanks for the big welcome folks!

if you think you might be doing a fair bit of sanding than i would invest in a proper soft silicon cartridge type mask. I brought one for about £20 ish from screwfix. they fit much better over nose and vent much better too, this will solve the steamy glasses look. they last for years so worth the money. Also try double lens googles, also helps steaming and also dust cant blow around sides on windy days as can with specs.

I love the 346xp with a 16" cannon quater tip (thats the larger one than Dime) bar. run with 1/4" pitch chain. Although 3/8 LP or .325 will run around quaters ok (1/4" only on dime tips). what ever chain u run remember to grind backs off the cutters at 45% down to tops of tie straps. This dramatically improves performance by reducing drag of back of cutter tooth on wood when using tip. less friction, wear and much quicker boring. Turn oilers up to max on saws too. 14" is quicker cutting. 12" is silly fast. and 18" will be bit slow but good for getting into awkward spaces in larger diameter carvings. Ed H or Dougie i use in uk for bars.
