Thanks Pa.
-
I heard what you're saying and appreciate your personal experience matches my own. I cant comment why a sizable percentage or Oregon Chain users have reported hardened teeth? I guess its a conspiracy'? Based on the conspiracy and the pennies difference I'll just stick to the Stihl Chains.
-
Absolutely. Six and two threes if if you ignore the less than perfect rep Oregon chains get. Better than Rotaek, worse than Stihl. Pays your money and take an educated chance.
-
Slightly harder means slightly more longevity I guess? (as you mention) Not really noted the hardness being an issue when sharpening to be honest. You get a nice feeling when you know you've taken off the perfect sliver. The metallurgy feels just right, be that at tech school (flat and square) Off-shore when you've just pulled a trick outta the bag that saved the rig $250,000 or when a new file glides through a cutter and takes the perfect bite right away. Id happily use both as well. From the very few Oregon Chains Ive used Ive never had an issue other than feeling like Ive cheaped out and feeling a little dirty.

Ive not used much Oregon. Ive just seen a bunch of threads mentioning them and hardened teeth. Mostly after folk complaining about rotatek chains. With the price difference between Stihl and Oregon being pennies I dont see the need to risk it.
-
yeh, with so many hardened teeth my dust extractor can handle all the sawdust I make.
-
Seems a bit odd to say you'll use nothing other than Oregon considering you've not tried what many consider one one the better chains on the market? I'm no better, I tend to just use Stihl and avoid Oregon because in my mind its an interior brand. But Id but Oregon if it had a good reputation. Ive seen more and more folk mention hard teeth on Oregon chain though. This must be the third thread in as many years about Oregon chains yet Ive not heard on about Stihl chains. (Im no Stihl Fanboi) I'll buy whatever gets the job done.

Guess you should stick to the sheep in Wales?
-
Ah ok. As before, contact 3 reputable firms in your area to get a real cost. Anyone here can give you a make-believe price based on their own location and work load. Might not be a real reflection of what is the going rate of where you are in London. For example, my Brother removed a sub-6" diameter tree in North London for £600. The stump was not ground out. He was the cheapest quote. Took him an hour and chucked the whole tree in the back of his pick-up and burned it in his stove. Id hazard a guess at £2000, maybe more?
-
Its quite a high fence. He could peep over from any angle and not get caught.
-
How nice of them,..... If its in their garden and hacked back as good as it is: 1, why do you need it gone? 2, Why grind the stump out? Surely thats their problem?
-
This is the third thread you've started on this same tree. Must be some kind of record.
-
You'd use an Oregon Chain over a Stihl?
-
Im not much better, worse most likely? Could it be Cherry? Looks very dark for Cherry wood though. some nice spalting there, maybe save it from the Stove?
-
Does your processor use Chain oil? Im sure my mates uses hydraulic oil?

Treatment for scaffold boards for veg patch
trigger_andy replied to David Lawrence 88's topic in General chat
Burst Engine Oil mixed with ATF. I guess you've made your mind up but you'd be much better off with some Larch or even better Oak or Sweet Chestnut. Scaff Boards will last no time at all even with some kind of treatment, and the treatment for a veg bed will be be naff, its not like you'd wanna put creosote on them. -
I would, but I think he's banned now.
-
Every time I fire up a heater thats collected dust I just get the usual burning dust smell. Kinda like the mix between toast burning and an electrical fire. But surely every adult knows that smell?
-
Work up to some unexpected snow here in Stavanger. Gone now. [emoji3]
-
I think you've posted this in the wrong sub-forum. You might get more responses in the General? Or even follow on from the thread you started on that tree earlier? But I think the responses you'll get will all be along the line of get three quotes from reputable local firms and see what they quote.
-
Seems waaaay to much work. Do you have the means to make and break chains? If not then you'll need to not only buy the links but pay someone to do it then bugger up one of the chains to match the other. Buy a new 28" chain and either save the 20" ones for a rainy day or flog them and save yourself a world of needless grief. What does a £28" chain cost? £30? You could not pay me to do all that work for £30. I must have at least 10 milling chains I dont plan on using again gathering dust. Lifes to short.

Yeh, to tip the sawdust out of his Jigsawaws dust collection into. -
Looks like standard shop bought hi temp pipe to me? No sign of blistering or anything that would otherwise indicate the wrong paint? Maybe try sniffing it before you expect the smell to appear? I made the awful mistake one time of picking up the gun with Black Hight temp RTV Silicon instead of Fire Cement. Was amazed at how smooth it went on too. Til I lit the Stove.

All the wrong gear by the sounds of it. But you best not mention that in case you get labeled 'toxic'
