bump bump

If your stuck, I'm sure Jonsie's will post to Oxfordshire

Dont know about the 550 but ive got a new 560 and its poor revs like hell but has no torque low down power not as good as my old well used 57,but it is light and quite pretty a bit like a Dyson.

Really, i've just felled 130 tonnes of spruce and now I'm working my way through about 200 tonnes of beech, my 560XPG hasn't faltered once.... Forget about Shitl altogether (tin hat on lol)

Don't know if its any use to you, but pet shops sell antlers as dog chews. Only 5 or 6 quid. Don't know if they'd be any good to you for what you need...

Cool, I'll take a look at that, been asked to make a coat rack so they'd need to have some aesthetic value. Thanks

On the look out for some Roe Deer antlers, preferably around 4-5" long, with no more than 3 points, need about 4 in total. Looked online but can't really find what I'm looking for!!

Many thanks in advance

In general there is about 200g difference between having heated handles and not!! I've never really noticed the extra 200g while working, well worth it for less than half a lb in weight gain.

Heated handles are worth every penny, wouldn't buy a saw without them now

That certainly is a 'Special' one :001_tongue:

There were some Bonzai on display at Woodfest last year, there were some Larch's that were absolutely amazing...

Oregon LPX

I dunno mate , you can only go with what works out for you , sure I've had good service from oregon chains but Stihl aint let me down either . I'm firmly a husky man , I've a couple of Stihl saws but mainly husky . Fact is husky genuine chain broke ( half worn ) and I replaced with a Stihl and a few more since then . i said maybe just my luck .

Wasn't having a dig, each to their own :thumbup1:

HI MATE stop cutting metal mate :001_rolleyes:jon

Hahaha, no wonder I have problems with them

Husky genuine , changed on a stihl never broke another , maybe just bad luck who knows . 560 does not half rev though !

I hate Stihl chains, personally they dont hold an edge well enough. Oregon chains all the way here...

Gadd's Spencer Tape all day long, excellent back up from Gadd to, they send out any spare you need. Very efficient service, sent a tape in to have a new leader fitted as the other decided it like the look of the saw.... sent it monday had it back wednesday

I broke a .325 chain last year

What brand did you break? What failed?

Hmmm, from my experience with this lumber measurement, you need a hoppus girth tape and a hoppus conversion book, if my memory serves me right a hoppus foot is 28% more than a cubic foot. The measurement allows for wastage at the mill, if trees were square we wouldn't need the measurement....

560XPG, 15" Sugihara bar, .325 Full chisel. Just done 150 tonne of Norway and working my way through approx 200 tonne of beech, it's the best saw I've used... Never had a .325 chain snap, never run one on a 60cc saw before, I'll not run anything else on it now :thumbup1:

Bit of Scots late last summer

Isn't the LGX a LPX but with a deeper chromium plating to make it harder...

Husky 550XPG, don't forget your own lock and key to keep those swaping hands at bay...

I'm running Sugihara bars on all my huskies, I wouldn't use anything else now...:thumbup1:

How did you do it??

And many people may laugh at this, but when I popped my back I went to see a physiotherapist who specialises in pilates, you soon realise how poor your core strength actually is, touch wood I've not had a twinge since...

Where abouts off junction 31 are you? I might have a buyer in Mold for you...
