  6. Hi, I have just been let down by a local supplier, i was wondering if anyone out there knew of where i could get a full lorry load of chestnut timber for processing into agricultural fencing materials. The closer to Abergavenny (Wales) the better. Many thanks in advance, Sam

    hard chains

    firstly thank you to this group for pointing me in the right direction in the past, i am always keen to learn as i go along. I sharpen quite a lot of different peoples saws (or show them how to sharpen their own) and recently, on 2 occasions, i have come across chains that i cannot sharpen with a file, they are just too hard. I suspect they have been sharpened with a power tool previously and i am wondering if that has somehow re-hardened the cutter into something that my files, even a new file, cannot get in to? i don't think that these are extra hard chains, they look standard enough to my eye however they are both makes i have never heard of before. the one in question at the moment has no manufacturers name but 3 joining rings stamped on it that slightly resemble the Olympic games logo. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated to expand on my knowledge. Sam

    insurance

    Hi i was hoping one of you guys might be able to point me in the right direction ,i am looking for an insurer that will cover me for running ground based chainsaw courses part time,I have been with markerstudy through the clear group for several years and they have been great even adjusting down my policy as i was not running these courses through the summer months but they no longer cover training ,any new leads would be appreciated.I enjoy running a few courses but hardly do enough to justify the quote i have just had
  10. Hi, I have just spotted that Stihl sell different types of grease aimed at their brushcutter gearboxes and their hedgetrimnmer gearboxes. Is this just a marketing ploy? Are these specific greases of merit or, if things are regularly serviced, is a normal lithium grease every bit as good? I don't want to waste £20 on two small tubes of grease for no benefit, would appreciate any thoughts. thank you
