    The verdict is in concerning my powwermatch bar!

    This is a green world, no oil allowed anymore of any kind!

    The verdict is in concerning my powwermatch bar!

    The chain on the bottom is a brand new Carlton, fresh out of the box, no way it could be damaged, and is still new only hanging on a nail now. And there where wear marks at the tip of the bar on the bottom, I filed them out a few hours ago, about 2" long.

    I have no problem with criticism that is rightly done so. But those who begin to insinuate that I am fabricating or shading the truth to try and prove a point, I will buck that. I can however assure anyone here, there has been absolutely no impact to the chain or bar. Every time I have hit...

    OK, just figured it out, I posted them from my Google account and you have to be logged in to my account to see them. Give me a few minutes and they will be public...

    What is up with Oregon?

    My neighbor, who's a full time professional uses forester bars. He says they are the best bar for the money. I just filed my powermatch bar, and it was the softest bar I have ever filed. It will not last. I have a number of PM's from people with the same experience with P-match bars, but they...

    There's you some pics above. And if I were you, I would either E-mail or call Glenn at Blount before continuing with anymore sarcasm. All I have to do is simply play the voicemail he sent me and you'll be eating crow. And again, I have no beef with Glenn, and appreciate his time in this matter.

    You got it buddy! Doesn't look bad though I could not get a good shot of the color with some minor bluing. But I can assuredly tell you, this bar is soft! I dress my bars with a thick flat file, I lay them both on my metal work bench and gently take out any grooves and it squares the rails to...

    Here you go guys! The first three are my Oregon, the next two is of a brand new unused Carlton for reference sake, then the last two both, the Oregon has the indicator line on top of the link. Oregon is filed to 25 degrees, like the factory says, and the Carlton is still untouched at 30...

    The chain cuts fine, and is sharp. Perfect? By no means, but very useable. The biggest part in question here is the guide bar. I am not doubting your observation, do not get me wrong. The amount of wear on the guide bar is too much. I just done a job today for a guy involving an oak with a lot...

    The glare is making them look dull, they are sharp. The odd hook, I set my file too deep, or my file guide slipped while I was sharpening, no big issue, that can be corrected easily, and not the first it has happened...

    Here you go fellas, a closer look at the chain. The light kept messing with my camera for some reason, and after recording I realized it. The glare was terrible... Harley, light the dog another smoke!

    You understand me 100%. Had Glenn said the bar was defective, I would have taken a new one.

    You will friend, you will, patience please! Just give the dog another bone while he waits... I am in the dark here, but are people insinuating I was questioning rd35's intellect? Cause I was doing the exact opposite. And actually giving some praise to his avatar... ...or at least what I...

    This I have had issues with too. Probably any where from a third to half of the stuff I cut has rot somewhere in it, hence the reason people want to often get rid of a tree. Sometimes you can pull the chain up out of the bar as close as you can to the oil port, and take a can of WD40 or...

    I will post pics when I get it back. And those who question or doubt my intellect can politely leave my thread. I have stated nothing but facts about what has occurred and statements between me and Glenn at Blount products. It does not take an above average IQ to simply tell the truth concerning...
