And I appreciate the advice. I remember when I had the logger over to handle a lot of my ash tree problem and he had a conversation with me while he filed his chain kind of the same way I do my job, half brain dead to the whole operation. My saws sit idle a lot until I need to cut wood or remove...

I hit the bar with a hand held belt sander. On a 16 inch bar it covered most of it without moving it. It was sharp though and destroyed the paper. It's back to "flat". I find it hard to belive that a delta belt sander is less than 100$ lol. Is it about getting it flat again or removing enough...

Re filed my chain for all you haters who weren't a fan of the just finished cutting look lol there's been a lot of file learning on this chain which is part of the reason for the cutters being different shapes and sizes. It has always cut nicely for me though

I did take a belt sander to the rails and they are straight again and I cleaned up the outside of the bar. There's less wiggle in the chain now. There was a groove cut into the rails from the chain. I will try it again and see what happens. I ordered a new bar and chain also.

I like the advice and compassion for chainsaws and wood cutting. I'm not as experienced as you are. Yes I've been cutting wood for 10 years and I got this saw with a bar that has chunks missing out of it. I put the chain on 5 years ago when I got it and I've been sharpening and cutting since...

I've had issues with the stihl rollomatic bar on my one saw. The roller tip has locked up a few times and gets real stiff.

I will check it out. The only bar I was looking at on ebay was the green forester one.

So is it frowned upon to run this chain on a new bar? I think I have a new one somewhere but it might be a safety chain and I'm not using that. I paid less than 80$ for the saw lol.

Mine does a lot of this and the rails are real angled.

The bar is probably over 30 years old and I've put a lot of time on it. I did not flip it but even with a tight chain the chain will wobble side to side a lot.

I filled down the rakers and it chips great when it wants to. It seems like if I keep the log against the spikes and burry the nose it will cut fine until the saw is straight up in the air but when I try to cut straight down through it won't move. If I don't cut against the spikes its better.

Which is what I was thinking but I don't understand why the bar keeps stopping in the cut and running like the chain is on backwards until you pull it out and reposition it then it starts chipping again.

I've been absent for a while. Anyways I've been cutting with my 028 the last few weeks and I am having issues. This is my main saw that I use. First I thought maybe the ash logs were frozen. I've never had that issue before. I've been sharpening the chain a lot trying to avoid my issue. The...

I guess it didn't phase me when I pulled it to see about compression but yeah the pull start is on the wrong side. Like I said I have no plans to sell. I'll get it running and sharp and put it on the shelf with the rest. I use my 051 and 028 regularly and this is a cool addition.

Ok I'll be the first reply since no one replied to my chainsaw find. I'm not familiar with 3 point attachment but I am curious, what is it for?

My boss is cleaning out his parents house and I pulled a very nice complete super 6-10 automatic out of the scrap pile in the dump trailer. I'm not looking to sell or anything. I don't see any on ebay so I'm curious about the value to satisfy my find. All the other x-10's go for 300 plus on...

My boss is cleaning out his parents house and this morning when I got to work the dump trailer was loaded with stuff for the scrap yard. I started looking in the trailer and there was a mac super 6-10 automatic. Looked to be complete with the bar and chain. Needless to say I grabbed it lol.

I don't mind burning pine. I mix it or use it to burn coals down. When dry it burns good and gets a nice secondary burn going that cranks some heat. I have found some poplar at the back of the wood shed and it does not burn nearly as hot or as well.

We have gone to the maple weekend a few times and always said we will tap our trees. The weather in western NY is so unpredictable that one day it could be 5 and the next 70. We always remember when its to late. And here we are 15 degrees and snow again. We joined groups on Facebook so we should...

I agree. I said the same thing as I built a chicken coop. Gotta keep the wife happy.
