I finally got around to getting my 272 full circle crank cleaned up. Unfortunately the OD ended up a touch too big. Ill pull it out and turn it down. It only rubbed on one small section of that case side, and could turn by hand. But I figured I could not be sure of clearances under load and op temp that I better not risk it.
On another note, there is a bit of corrosion in the crank area of the case. Not much but the powder coating has let go in spots. Should I bead blast it raw or leave as is? I hear that mag can corrode real easy and this saw will sit for periods of time....

Hi there blokes
If you use Carlton chain it would be a good idear to stock up.
I here that the company (Blount ) that make the Carlton brand is no longer going to do so.
Jackmax the importer of Carlton is know pushing a chain brand called Archer.

Have seen much worse.
The file holder gauge thingy will solve that problem. I use it all the time now days.

i dont use the right size file on my chains i use the next size up it gives me a steeper knife on the tooth larst longer between sharpings and less likely to do what you have done.
in denial i was at fault i tested a few different files brands and sizes to work out what was up,,, all i did was blunt or **** a few chains or make them so aggressive in profile wos scary to use. This is just me getting lazy and not watching what im doin in belief im well versed in filing then blaming the outcome on anything but me,,,, so perfectly natural says my wife.....

An infestation of an exotic pine nematode (Bursaphelenchus species) was discovered in the wood of a single dying pine tree (Pinus species) in Sydney in March 2016. The infested tree and two other suspect host trees close by were removed and destroyed. The New South Wales Government is conducting surveillance of pine (Pinus species) host trees across New South Wales to determine any further infestations.

Umm, if it only effected radiata, I'd be happy as. Hate em.
On the Princess Hwy on the way down here to Gippy, there's a stack of them dying off near the Gumbuya Park or whatever it's called. It's on the south side of the Hwy in Tynong...At least 50 dead I'd say, I suspected they may have caught the developer's curse, also known as poison.

That sounds awfully big serge, however on friction/press fits, I always place part in freezer for around 2hrs, then heat the case area with a gas soldering torch.
These torches are safe to use, as the temperature will never exceed the melting point of the magnesium..... Oxy/acetylene will cause damage if not careful.
Heat the case for 3-4 minutes and put vent in straight from freezer.
Hope this helps!
