with all this rain I'm working ankle deep in clarts, really getting on my (.)(.) how dose everyone wash and dry your boots? I know leather can crack, so got to be careful in how you dry them out. Ian

hi lift wedges with plastic handles and 2 rings, I had a wooden handle 3 hours from brand new and it shattered in to 6 bits, felling with wedges is a doddle, very accurate and can get the tree over against the way it wants to go with in reason Ian

hmm interesting, would being more firm with the saw and digging the spikes in and using them as leverage make a difference? never had the pleasure of cutting really hard seasoned stuff Ian
-
surprised you say that, I've always found the full chisel more aggressive of the chains, watch out for vibe, kickback and aggressive cut nature (pull or push) if you choose to lower the depth gauges, I've taken mine down before and I can make it a pig to work with especially on bore cuts Ian
-
I'm sure chainsawbars.co.uk have a custom chain area on their web site and you can select the type of chain you want along with pitch and number of drive links and they will make it up for you, there decent on price and fast delivery, I've bought quite a bit from them. Ian

I agree that full chisel dulls quicker and needs a tickle more often, semi chisel defo holds edge better but cuts slower than full
-
I would have though a full chisel chain would be your best bet. I only know of semi or full chisel and the narrow kerf Oregon chains, for hardwoods I'd go with full chisel. personally I find full chisel easy to sharpen and get good results for cutting hard and softwoods. I think you can get skip chains which have less cutting teeth for longer bars but I'm sure one of the more experienced guys will be along to explain. Ian

as long as he has the angles right I don't think it matters, I usually straddle my saw when in the wood, helps keep it steady and I don't have to carry any sort of vice, at end of day it's how we all feel comfortable, we all must be different

the t540 is a good little saw, I like mine Ian

worth asking, can only say no that near Preston?

was talking to a fella while gettin a new sprocket for mine as he said the 555 and the 560 are exactly the same saw apart from the carb, which gives the 560 a little bit more power, other than that there the same.
