    Chain hygiene

    Out of curiosity, do you ever clean your chains to remove filing swarf, grinder dust, sap, dirt, etc., and then relube them with bar oil after sharpening? I've been doing that when I sharpen batches of chains and the amount of crud laying in the bottom of the solvent after it settles is...

    Stihl BHP and Torque curves

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know where I might find such information? For example, I'd be curious to see those curves for say MS261, MS461, MS661 and MS881 saws... actually all the Stihl saws if such a thing exists! If the curves aren't available, how about the torque ratings at the crank...

    Compressed air vs. vacuum

    Out of curiosity... Has anyone ever run into a problem with fine wood dust (with bar oil) collecting between the brake band and the case to the point the brake band does not open up properly and the brake mechanism at the hand guard being very dirty? This despite blowing the saw out with...

    How much chain do you use up before you retire a chain?

    While cutting a few weeks ago my helper commented that I got my money's worth out of the chain... I was reminded of the comment today while filing the chain in the photo below.

    metering pour spout for Stihl mix oil gallons

    Has anyone found a pour spout that meters 2.6 oz that will screw onto the gallon jugs of Stihl mix oil? From an economic standpoint it looks like I could save nearly a third on mix oil by purchasing the gallon jugs of Stihl HP Ultra mix oil instead of the six packs of 2.6 oz. mix oil. At local...
