    More and more people realizing the potential in their saws through the skill of Steve ! I believe I was one of the first with a 346 he did for me possibly about 2 years ago . It is still going strong on a 15" bar and an 8 pin . The reliability is sound . Currently withe the 346 I have a 372 and a 390 all fettled by Steve and all stonking ! Talented man !
  6. This thread should be re titled the engineering / tool room thread ! Rotary table takes me back ! Last time I did anything like that it was ( Label 1 Circle centers X 0.00 Y 0.00 circular polar radius what ever, z minus abit M03 incremental , circular polar 360 degrees ) call label 1 REP 2 . M25 Stop .....
  7. Just bought a pair of the above ( in pantomime red ! ) Very light weight strides . Got 2 pairs of well used Gladiator Ventilation which I thought were good but thees are a bit lighter . Slightly higher back flap than the Vents . Any one tried them yet ?

    Stihl MS 201t

    Well . Thats odd ! I would have thought it would be the other way round . Each to his own I suppose . Just out of interest Did you set the A/T on the 540 ?
  9. Modern synthetic oils like Husqvarna XP are supposed to be 50:1 . I would not trust any " garden center " stuff . Bin it and get some proper oil from a saw dealer .....
  10. You are dead right . Forget about lubing for a moment . Imagine its a 4 stroke engine . You would put neat petrol in it . You would not " contaminate " the petrol with some oil ? So if the oil can says mix at 50:1 then thats the way to go . No point in putting more than that in .

  12. When you take the cat out of the system blank the E.G.R. valve as well .

    Stihl MS 201t

    Got one weeks ago . Only problem has been this bent av spring .
  15. Yea its negligible I admit but if your not using the screen you don't need the screw . When your coming to the end , and start to see the bright light at the end of the tunnel ,you don't want an extra 5g !
  16. Why leave it in ? Its doing nothing except add a little weight ....
  17. And the embarrassment having to get the paramedic to turn off the cam !
  18. Check thread entitled " Chain vice ( help ) " On the third page is a pic posted by rubikviz . Think that would do ?
  19. This was on a few weeks ago with pics of lots of different filing clamps / jigs / fixtures .....
