  1. What saw is a 540 xp, it should be a top handle shouldn't it ? It looks like they are getting it mixed up with the 560 xp they were selling under a different name with a very similar description.
  2. Here they are. 15" or 18" seem to be the going offers.
  3. That "well done" and "gently Bentley" sounded very Derbyshire to me. I was expecting the saw to fall out of the tree after every cut, I would have at least put a tether on it to the tree somewhere if he couldn't hang it on his belt.
  4. Mine's like that but without one side missing, I can see the angle grinder coming out soon
  5. Did you take it back to the same dealer that you purchased it from ? I would be tempted to contact Husqvarna to ask them if the carburettor is covered under warranty and explain how you have been treated by the dealer. You might not get anywhere but it is best to register any complaint and you should be entitled to 2 years warranty if you registered the saw as a domestic user.
  6. Most 9" angle grinders run at something round 6,500 rpm so they wouldn't set any cutting records either ( I know, it's not a serious post )
  7. I'll have to keep an eye out for a draw knife as they look handy for making handles.
  8. Sell it to someone who owns a Land Rover series they'll use it in a fortnight
  9. I just bought a Gilpin, Wedges and Mills No2 hook on ebay for £13. I've been looking at hooks for ages and finally got one.
  10. Do you have a HSS hire shop local ?
  11. I don't think it's a grammatical error just confusion over spelling of two words with similar sound. Never having broken a chain I was unsure if the chain breaking operated the brake.
  12. I use the brake when I am not revving the saw and when I carry it short distances rather than stop the motor which I do when I take a break to have a ???
  13. I call it the chain brake as it stops the chain from going round but everyone on here calls it the chain break but the only thing I can find about the chain breaking is the catcher.
  14. When they hear chainsaws or stone saws it's like a mating call, it attracts scallies from miles around. I never put anything down unless it's locked away or fastened to something heavy. The bloke next door borrowed my drill the other day, his had gone out of the shed along with a jig saw and angle grinder and we know it was his girlfriend's druggy son but nothing will be done about it. The lad still comes round as brazen as anything.
  15. I took a few batteries to the scrapyard a few weeks ago and they fetch good money for scrap. It's always better to report the crime so it has to go on the police books and when the numbers are tallied up everyone can see how badly or well they are performing.
  16. A friend of mine ran one for about 9 months a long time ago. He gave it up as it was hard work and it cost a lot in fuel, gas, maintenance,was hot and clausterophobic and he always stunk of chips. He was parked up one night and got pulled by the police on the way home, someone had nicked the rear lights off the van. He lost a lot of money on the eventual resale of the van as well.
  17. Lay it on it's flattest side and just roughly flatten 3 sides and it would make a nice rustic beam. Cut it with the saw and finish it off with a draw knife or adze would be a good effect.
  18. This place has them.
  19. I saw a video where the tree was cut off at the bottom then rollers stripped the branches off before the machine placed it into the pile. It was all softwood farming though.
  20. Cut a branch off a Birch tree and watch it run like a tap in early Spring when the buds are forming.
  21. If you can put the rings on the piston and into the barrel and put one circlip in then get it onto the rod and fit the gudgeon pin and second circlip it makes the job easier.
  22. What's adorn ? The plug looks good.
  23. Genius, he's leaving all the boring stuff to someone else
  24. Weird place the Berwyn Mountains I reckon it's an inter dimensional rift or summat, not getting too technical.
