i used a dcs230 with sugi 1.1 10'' bar and didn't find the top handle annoying at all. very hand actually for details etc. not hard on the wrists like using a 200t for carving as your only using it gently anyway.
-
any news on the new dolly top handle?
-
i stuck a ms150 bar on a makita dcs230, 1.1mm gauge 1/4 chain, big difference from the standard 3/8 lp well worth getting the 1.1 i would say! and the bar mod is a piece of cake!

looking for a cheep replacement saw
billpierce replied to gobbypunk's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
i got a cheap ms170 knock a bit off if you don't want bar and chain, add £15 for a stihl 1/4 sprocket barely used (few sharpens on 1 chain) -
was it this
-
i got a makita dcs3410 34cc 12'' top handle, in GWO, brand new bar and chain, £150 plus postage gis a pm if your interested! if not hope you find something that suits!
-
what saw is it?
-
really? surely someone has something to say about them? i have now ordered some so will give you a review wheni have had a good thrash. before the piranha chain ad i bought some archer chain, snapped 2 chains on my 357 18'' .325 before i had had to sharpen them once! hope piranha is better!

i bought one of these for a ms170 that the carb rubbers were knackered. about a year ago and still ok. i chose this one as it is adjustable, but may require some holes drilling in plastic side to get to the adjust. ~£8 is pretty fair for a new carb i reckon
-
i heard you can get vibram soles re done?
-
any news from anyone using these chains? are they lasting ok?
-
shavey you know when these wee top handles are due out? or roughly what they will cost?was set on buying a 360tes but might be able to hold on a bit
-
just get your money back on it, not exceptable.
-

no certainly won't do that ad any good - well aware of that! but just thought it might be a good deal for someone -
stumbled across this very very cheap source of top handled saws - might be good for somebody starting out or after a back up? i have used one a fair bit, absolutely nothing on an ms200, more like a ms192 i would guess (never used one), but they are light and they get the job done, i would only use a 12" bar with them. plenty folk on here have slated them, so bare that in mind if your considering it - but i would say for £170 new your not going to get much better.

the 088 piston will fit the 084 i think, but the pot is different
-
i have one, it is great, not as many parts available for them as a 088, but i think you can still get most of the essential bits your likely to wear out. they have a manual oiler push button too
-
mine is an idiot too. i have to push down really hard as i turn to get it to twist the full way to allow it to seal proper. also when you undo it its hard to pull off. i know someone will say its just a i.q test, which will wind me up!
-
plank it, and stack it on bearers with stickers betwixt the boards then sheet or two of tin on top
-
i use a sheet of tin with something heavy on top!
-
agreed! if your after a used one i have a couple on arbtrader
-
very good, enjoyed the chogging down close to the shed! how did you tension the speedline? just with a a block?
