Air compressors.. which kind to get & what do you use yours for?
Stere replied to Cordata's topic in General chat
Is a plus of the oil free ones, that unlike the oiled ones you are not blowing any out misted oil which might not be that healthy? Or it that a non issue? Haven't done a maintenance on the lidl one since bought it yrs ago so suppose this needs doing plus checking oil. -

Yeah i remember now it it was Rob @ chainsaw bars. But it still confused me as the new 0.50 chain & light bars etc were being marketed as cutting 20% faster. Above is direct from the stihl website: MS 261 C-M Petrol Chainsaw - Powerful 3.0 kW forestry chainsaw with Light 04 bar WWW.STIHL.CO.UK The STIHL MS 261 C-M petrol chainsaw is the perfect tool for small to medium tree maintenance work. This new version... Not sure whats true?

Might cut abit slower versus a 0.50 as wider kerf / teeth on the new 0.58 matching chain means saw has to work harder... So on a 350 (50cc 2.3kw) sticking with 0.50 might be better i reckon? Casing should be ok. & the sprocket will not need chainging if chain is the same pitch......

As a chain wears the gap between the bar & sprocket increases as the chain tensioner adjusts the bar outwards away from the sprocket to keep the chain the right tightness.. Might this effect how smoothly it runs? & some bars are wide near the sprocket end meaning the chain doesn't align as well as it would on a narrower bar with with the same sprocket...

I use a brushcutter with a mulch blade then hedging shears closer in to the tree Also mark tree locations with bamboo canes etc. -
Looks like its function is that of bar studs and the saw comes with holes rather than studs for that thing to fit ? So if you loose or break the it you are buggered .unless you can source another one?
