Yeah I have been trying to sort my one that doesn't fit and one with a snapped tooth(after first use). They have now changed staff and the fella I spoke to refunded me Instantly, so worth ringing them and speaking Greg. Also I have a free postage label for them they send I could email you if you pm yer email Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Furthest away you have been asked to quote for tree works?
billpierce replied to benedmonds's topic in General chat
I did some tree work in Greece for my brother in laws firm. It is appalling climbing in 35c Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app -
That reminds me, I returned one with a snapped tooth send one that didn't fit on the saw a while ago and they still have entered replaced them Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I would definitely do this. Plenty 50/60/70cc used saws with full parts back up out there for less rohan you'd think. Keep an eye out for makita/dolmar, echo, tanaka and youmight find something good. If your wanting to step up to 18"I'd suggest 60cc plus. I suspect asking a cheap 45cc/50cc saw to bury a large bar is also asking for it to break Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Carving bar Chain lift before nose?
billpierce replied to billpierce's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Thanks Rob, it's a used bar I bought with 5 new chains, the one that's on was peened when I got it, the bar did need dressing so I did this, fairly sure the previous owner had a goosed sprocket. Thanks Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app -
Carving bar Chain lift before nose?
billpierce replied to billpierce's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
Groove is clean, I thought it was a siezed links until I noticed it did it on everyone all the way round the chain and the 2nd new chain didn't solve it. I have used the saw again today and seems to be doing it a bit less, potentially it was some burring from when dressed the rails (burring across to inside of rails?) Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app -
Never had this before, been using carving bars for getting on 10 years now, Chain being a fool, sucker, just before nose, bar is dressed nice, all square rails even wear, tried with 2 chains (both new) same thing, new sprocket. When you run the chain it appears to tighten, then if you pull it or put the brake on it slackens off again. Def not drive links bottoming out as if you push it down it'll sit back Just thought some other carver might of had same problems Foolish sucker Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Sorry rob I mean how does the 404 compare to stihl pmx? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yeah seen that a while ago, good at illustrating the numbers, not sure that by allowing immigration to happen anyone's expecting it to solve world poverty though. Personally, I dont feel like this island is particularly mine just cos I was born here or my forefathers fought for it etc. I do however feel very grateful for the opportunities and huge benefits that I have had living in the UK.

Never used that full feature chain, prob worth just ringing rob at chainsawbars.Co.UK about it. 10er plus postage for the sprocket. Just found it I used it on an ms170 for maybe a tank at some point. It's a stihl 8t. I'm fairly sure this will fit a ms230, as a quick search looks like they share the same 3/8 sprockets. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

i'm with you, i wouldnt bother, £12 for chinese, £40 for CT
-
may have a 1/4 sprocket that'll fit ms230 knocking about. unused/barely used can have for cheap if you want
-
i hear what your saying, i wouldnt climb on something i didnt really trust. but in fairness that "out side of the ankle one" is just the left leg i reckon who knows? technically these arent fall arrest or anything are they? but like cheap chinese spikes if they fail at worst it'll hurt and at best your heart will jump out your mouth
-
any updates on this? pal of mine after a carving saw asap and the 360 wes on chainsawbars is looking tempting
-
Chainsawbars.Co.UK is a good place to start Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I'd get a 12 or 14" 1/4 pitch carving bar and appropriate sprocket for the 230. Cannon bars are tough, sugi also seem popular. Just mess about have fun, watch some vids on youtoooobe Enjoy Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Def worth trying a change of oil, I've had old stihls not oiling well with oil that is too thin Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Not yet rob, still working my way through the 3x. 325 chain I got. End up doing most milling in 36" 404 chain with the 084. Will def look into it next time I'm needing a chain. How does it compare to 404? I remember you saying you thought the 404 would be much faster than 325? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I wad thinking the same. 120cc is a lot lot lot better for milling than 95. I would also consider modding the mill to fit 3120 Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app
