Oregon depth gauge not as marked 0.025" (0.63mm)
Rough Hewn replied to David Heaf's topic in Chainsaws
Stubby is correct, The gauges are vague. For cross cutting a bit of variation is ok, but will reduce cutting capacity and increase vibrations. (0.18 mm is more than 25% of your cutting depth) -

Yes and yes. A proper chain setup is very important. -
If you are going to use a small electric saw: Get the thinnest bar and chain combo 1.1mm gauge 1/4"picco chain and if possible change the number of sprocket teeth from 7 to 6 or 6 to 5. This will increase torque and decrease chain speed. You will need to sharpen the chain impeccably. All teeth the same length, special care with the depth gauges 0.5 mm max. Cutting teeth re-filed to 0 degrees. Don't push the saw in the cut, listen to the chain. Keep the chain sound up and regular. Don't see saw, keep at 90 degrees to the wood at all times. Be extra careful entering and exiting the cut. The use of an over length ladder really helps. Show us your results! Good luck [emoji106]

A 362 on its last legs? How long have you had it? 5-10 ton a year is nothing for a decent saw. Probably cut 5 ton last year with a cordless saw. Stihl saws should last 3-10 years at least. How's your saw maintenance?

Get a petrol saw if you intend to mill regularly. At least 60cc. Good luck [emoji106]

A 36" mill is for a 90cc saw not a small electric saw. It just won't work.
-
What saw are you going to use? Most electric saws are rather small and milling would mess them up. For a 14" cut you'd need at least an 18" bar maybe a 20".

I'm nearly sure matelot works for the Russians. Always posting inflammatory/racist crap. Doesn't actually post anything about trees or arboriculture. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

Doh [emoji12] To me it looks like firewood with all the twist in the trunk, got a few rot holes too. What do you hope it is Steve? I only ask because you know a Fock ton of species.

I've read the porting thread and a mate has modded a couple of saws but didn't really "get it". Before xmas worked with a chap who had a few spud ported saws. I didn't know saws could work that fast! Saving my pennies now. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

What is it Steve?

Haven't welded since. Eyes still work, Would love to get a mig for projects but I know I won't.

Just the way it happened.

Nature, The universe, God. What's the difference? Not in a philosophical or theological way, but in a day to day scenario. What difference does it make? Oh and stubby if there is a god. He watches you in the shower. [emoji12]

I learned arc welding at school, 30 years ago. Ten years ago I was working in heavy industry and the boss asked if anyone could weld. Fifteen minutes later I've got a 300amp 3phase mig in my hands [emoji106] 6 weeks later after a lot of pink eye the doctor told me my eyes are too sensitive and if I continue welding I will go blind. Even with a really expensive mask. Shame as I really enjoyed the work.

Errr it's still sugar. It's fructose if I remember correctly. And it's been processed.

I will try to write down and post my own ridiculous ideas on free will later. [emoji12]

What a great thread guys! Some interesting ideas! Personally I completely disagree with nearly everything posted about lack of free will and god. But I'm glad we can all debate and share ideas. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
