Thanks for replies, not into a super cheap one as reckon it'll die doing a load of 404 chain ( my last cheap one did). Any thoughts @roughhewn ?

I know we have been over this, but what's best bench mounted electric sharpener. This is for doing 48" chains that have it metal before any gives me the "man up and do it by hand". I do hand file mostly and happy with it, but doing 4 x 48" chains that have all it metal and having to put them on a double ended bar each time is tedious beyond belief.

Killed a went florabest I was given in about 3 chains. Use a dremmel with diamond files but also not actually that quick.

So oregon? Portek? Others? Ta

Rob have you had customers calling in with similar failures on other brand bars you sell like gb cannon etc? Personally I like the sugi bars and haven't had an issue with them, but only runs 20" and a tiony sugi carving bar.

390 feels more nimble to me but bit less grunt, but not loads less

If you ever get one and fancy a 2.3 engine to put in it I have a rebuilt one with less than 300 miles on it in my garage which needs the head torquing down and rocker shaft put back in

I dream of a lwb sj with Peugeot 1.9 xud lump in it. Saw one for sale 5 years ago and regret not pouncing on it immediately.

Any chance I could buy that pre ebay?

I wouldn,t of thought it could run without rings,are you sure they are not there,how would it have compression without?

any update on this les?

Only run 1/4 on my echo. But the makita stuff comes with 3/8 .43 chain, and not a huge difference in speed of cut between that and the 1/4 but the 1/4 ) leaves a much smoother cut, but more irritating to sharpen.

I have broken so many and then broken the replacements whilst installing fairly often . Hateful, but more convenient then getting it fixed in a shop

On my bench...my lap top.......... busted the screen.....got a new one off eBay, came in two days, took it apart without breaking anything, new one fitted and bingo....£40 and the jobs a good one!

Hello, I've been chainsaw carving for 3 years now and I've completed 15 pieces. I've found a dremmel style rotary tool very helpful for detailing, but it struggles. I've noticed some carvers use die grinders, can anyone tell me about the difference please? Thanks.

What stubby says is Bob on

I have seen it used in the past . A double ended with two 3120s actually . I think there is very little in it power and torque wise .

880 stopped pretty sharpish on friday. Seems the clutch drum has cracked and wedged the brake band ( now in 5 mangled bits) . new one to me

Nope, was a genuine stihl pot & piston kit from L&S engineers, unless they sell knock off stuff? Where do you usually buy parts etc from, l&s have always been my go-to, but this saw doesn’t seem right. Cheers mate [emoji106]

I sent a saw to another member recently. Drained, double wrapped in bin liners, double boxed with plenty of packing and was no issue. The sellers clearly done a bad job of packing and thats his responsibility, not yours. Id be making the paypal claim.  

Good chance your pot will clean up unless badly chipped or very deep scoring. As said meteor is a good italian non original brand. Had one in my 361 for about 7 years with no bother

Have a go with yhe 153 first. Should be just the job

Sorry to here this. I have had similer issues. My bet is it was poorly packaged so sharp bits where exposed or leaking fuel

£400-650, depends on if a bar and chain is fitted, the condition and year although the year to me is unimportant as I have seen saws 10 years old in near new condition.
Just took a look on eBay sold listings - the £650 was a 2017 with a decent bar.

Try more wraps

You can just update the original thread, you dont need to make a new one each time you ask. When you make a reply that will 'bump' it top the top for more exposure. 
 
I see there is a Frontier OS31 for sale in Germany just now, on a Trailer too. Norwood made, or at least designed. If you're interested I'll pass his number on to you. 

When you changed the carb did you seat it properly onto the carb boot/ gaskets etc?
