Agreed, Ive yet to see an improvement that makes them more robust, even the bloomin flip cap broke on my 250 & the petrol pipe looked like it had been gnawed by a dog after about 4 years.
-
Blimey, I thought the 461 had not long been released & an 046 or 460 were old school. These things are almost like cars where they change something every year.
-
I agree, at that point my O/H cheekily said: "so we have to cut it down & count the rings..." I would have thought maybe 250-300 at a guess, but yes, interesting programme.
-
If you only need it for a few cuts then 28" on your 70cc saw should be fine with full skip chain, it won't be quick but its an option. Thinking of doing the same on my 365xt then getting a 395 if I really feel the need - which I might use for milling one day... & yes, Rob D of chainsawbars.co.uk has 3/8th full skip in 0.58 guage https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product/oregon-full-skip-chisel-chain-38-063-copy/

As per Rough Hewn & perhaps replace the needle bearing while you're at it. LS Engineers do kits & are a good supplier N

Agree entirely, as a lot of it is dross!

Hi Your post refers to a Wikipedia article, the text: "Protection is only given for gas (petrol) chain saws, not for electrical saws" to me, is slightly ambiguous in that it refers to an electric saw, not specifically an electric chain saw. Although the article title is chain saw safety clothing. I looked at Husqvarnas website for their 536Li battery powered saw, as I dont have an electric saw and the chain speed quoted is 20 m/s. To me, 20m/s is 20m/s wether its electrical or petrol, I take the point that an armature contains mass & thus kinetic energy when its spinning, but so will a petrol driven flywheel. Edit: I agree with Mick D - the chain stops faster with an electric chainsaw of the ones Ive witnessed in use than a petrol one. I would obtain the relevant clothing for the chain speed of your saw and if it really bothers you, go up a class. In addition, practise safe working procedures to minimise the risk of an accident in the first place.

Thats an understatement Wes and yours is rather well breathed on if I recall!
-
August 2017 acording to the website, but thats publicity razzmatazz, cant see any on main UK disributors yet, Ive seen one in France with a fairly absurd price tag (perhaps to guarantee zero sales ) N
-
I would say generally a top handle saw capable of being operated with one hand. After that it depends on what you are cutting so anything up to an 880 so long as you can use it safely!
-
Hi, at a wild guess I'd say the exhaust bolts are loose, I had similar tinny sound from my 250 once & noticed they'd worked loose. Edit: whilst I was doing that I opened up the holes in the little baffle box too
-
Hi Im not a miller, but noticed chainsawbars.co.uk have a good selection of GB bars & lo-pro chains so maybe worth a call to RobD https://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/product-category/mills-kits/lo-pro-milling-bars-for-stihl/
-
Seems very odd the dealer chose to dispose of your property without permission, clearly there is something that requires an explanation and you have every right to bring this to the attention of Stihl.

Yes, very good idea Gutted to hear about this.

Hi, If the temperature of a gas is lowered, the volume increases proprotionally assuming pressure is constant. So if your second test was carried out at minus whatever the temperatures are at the moment, then slightly more air is being sucked in which may influence the rpm. Im sure max RPM has a tolerance as does the accuracy of your rpm meter. I would consider using decent quality 2 stroke oil essential with high revving engines.
-
Thats good then, just a thought have you considered running it on Aspen?
-
Very windy yesterday and this morning-too far south for snow tho
-
And when you grease the clutch bearing check the chain sprockets not too worn. If you need to replace anything LS Engineers are pretty good.
-
Not sure where you get your prices, but Mr Jones has an MS291 for £443.75 inc VAT Probably 600 euros in France though as saws expensive here!
-
Hi there & well done, you got that looking nice I can remember using a big Mac with my father in the late 70's was a beast
-
Dont know the 510, the 5105 is supposed to be better. AFAIK, CS30 & 31 require a rear handle saw with guide bar of 15" - but I'm not sure how rigidly that is enforced. 346xp is a lovely saw, mine feels perfect on 15", you wouldnt go wrong with a dolly 420, people hang on to their 346, plenty of 260 S/H around, but I would take care if your looking on e-bay.
-
What have you ordered then? Might have a go myself one day so interested, a friend has two nice sticks of Walnut, been down a few years & they must be easily 1.20 diameter by 2.5 meters
-
Thanks again for posting, some lovely boards you made there and Mrs NFG admiring your work too.
-
How about a Dolmar 420 ? Pro build & a real ripper, Shavey on here is your man. Not worth buying cheap as you'll end up buying twice & I'd be very careful with anything from Ebay.

You can get higher spec of glass, like ceramic glass but the double glaze solution sounds good.
