.404 could just as easily be replaced with ‘3/8 big profile’ in the same way that 3/8 low profile (picco) is the same pitch as normal 3/8 but smaller in other dimensions. So you’d have: 3/8 low profile 3/8 normal 3/8 big profile And then narrow/wide options if you really must. Why did nobody ask me before doing all the confusing bollocks we currently endure? 3/8 low profile narrow up to 10” 3/8 low profile wide 12-18” 3/8 normal 20-48” 3/8 big profile for bigger and harvesters Right. Done. Sell that or gulag.

Chain, guide bar and sprocket identification - Chainsawbars WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK Identifying a chain, guide bar and sprocket on a chainsaw can be tricky. Use our guide to easily take you... Useful link for anyone struggling to follow this.

And while we’re at it, saws. Why does the world need 231, 241 and 251? Just make one prosumer 45cc saw. Likewise the 291 and 391 farmer saws. They’re the same displacement as existing pro saws. Just have those. Unnecessary bloody stuff.

Whereas I quite like 3/8 picco 1.3. Dad and I have the same bar and chain combo across three saws (battery, mains electric, petrol). Absolutely smooth enough. To my mind, .325 is the pointless one. Stihl 231, 241 and 251 are all the same class of saw but the 251 awkwardly comes with .325 instead of 3/8 picco. Then it’s only the 261 that comes on .325 before you hit proper 3/8 for 60cc and up. I don’t think .325 needs to exist. Can only assume the tooling for making the chain was so expensive that they need to make the machines run for another fifty years to justify them. And likewise if this 3/8 picco 1.1mm full chisel works like I hope it does on the 2511, 151 and battery pruner type saws, I can’t see why the world needs 1/4 picco and its annoying little files.

Interesting. How does it cut compared to 1/4 picco on saws like the 2511t, 151t, 161t?

No. I defend his right to be a prick on private property that welcomes him. I’d just rather he wasn’t welcome here.

Dave. I’ve tried over the years to get you to engage like an adult, discuss things, see both sides etc. You either won’t or can’t so I won’t try any more. I’ll comment if I think it might contribute to you leaving this forum or having a heart attack or ignore you otherwise. I hope you leave. Your cons outweigh your pros by a long, long, long way.

I’m a libertarian, you moron.

I find it hard enough to sleep soundly with 24” and 25” both existing. @Rob D. What was it you were doing to simplify bar and chain choice? Making everything multiples of 5” or 6” would help me sleep better. In time, multiples of 10cm no doubt. When we old imperials have died and America measures only in roentgen.
-
Yes. Troubling.

Having only a 2” difference doesn’t seem worthwhile to me. My usual arsenal is 12”, 16”, 25”, 36”. Roughly 10” gaps. The 12” hardly ever gets used. I’m minded to replace it with 8” or 10” (depending on whether I get a Milwaukee Hatchet or a 2511T for a bit of cut and chuck). And extra drag is only really extra drag when it’s in the wood. Better to have it and not need it for the negligible extra weight and sharpening burden.

I screamed at the laptop from the first second of that. Too big.

If you’d rather walk through the sentencing guidelines with this bloke rather than my rather long post. We got to the same answer.

I know. I liked the setup to preach.

Thought that might touch a nerve, you medal collecting dosser. Half for participation like a woke sports day.

Don’t just laugh. Reconcile with tapatalk.

And my house is already pretty uncivilised.
-
I have breakfast up there most days. It’s where my main cafetière lives. I could put solar on the pavilion and never need to leave. Joking aside, I am trying to move out of my house and into something considerably less civilised.

Because there’s basically never any need for it. It’s unnecessary violence on heavy, expensive ropes and there’s usually just as much risk of mishap from swinging pieces as there is from bouncing pieces.

I get stuff gunned up on the GRCS if I’m high enough. The rigging is usually off when it’s getting down to 500i and 661 chogging though .

Wasn’t aware there was a chicken thread. I’ve been derailing the veggies one. Sorry, arbtalk vegans.

Exhibit A, @Steve Bullman

I have 16” 3/8 pico 1.3mm on my 220 and I often do a full day on two 300s batteries. That’s big trees but usually rigging small numbers of big pieces. I don’t cut and chuck or shred stuff very often. It’s only felling or firewooding that the charger (the top end one) can’t keep up with.
