im not a big fan either you can buy the rubber/plastic old style ones for a couple of quid but if you get oil on your hands or on the caps and dont have a flathead combi around they can be really annoying too generally a bit better though i think

That line is a very handy feature actually Both stihl and husqvarna make very nice saws theres no two ways about it its all down to personal taste i just find husqvarnas especially the xp range have a bit more grunt(ill stop talking now before this gets ugly) ^ that is a very good point

i started of with a stihl ms210 which i still have and regularly use smaller lighter saws like the ms180-ms210 are generally easier to use and cause a bit less damage if you make a mistake but having something bigger with a longer bar i find generally keeps you a bit more vigilant whereas a little thing you sometimes can forget the damage they can still cause but if your just starting i dont think you need to worry about that theres no two ways about it husqys are better chainsaws(let battle commence) but if your doing your cs30 soon id get a stihl as they are easier to work on/fix and generally a bit cheaper to buy

Hi all I recently bought myself an 039 which was running very well untill a few days ago I was cross cutting some walnut which was coming along nicely untill the saw started to struggle/bog down/lose power Ive checked all the obvious things: chain is sharp right length bar and chain compression fuel mix airfilter carb the saw idles fine and revs up nicely but struggles to cut(chain is definitely sharp honest!) its recently had a new clutch drum. maybe its time for a new clutch? any second opinions would be greatly appreciated

ok cheers for the advice i will definitely look in to getting my self an arbortec and a carving bar would be nice to do something a bit more creative than splitting everything i have left over what wood would you recommend? i have a lot of fair sized pine laying around is that any good? cheers

They look great mate Ive never tried carving before but would love to give it a shot what saw and chain do you use? or does it vary on the wood? and also what you use to carve the finer details? thanks
