Outside / In Motor Seven, I was taught to file this way (outside/in) by an old cutter from the Mt. St. Helens area of Washington State ( the state in which I also live and work ). This individual who taught me this method used to cut the old growth, so I knew he was credible. Being...

Swing Arm Manual I purchased a Silvey RII from Madsen's a couple of years ago that came with nothing more than a single sheet of paper containing wheel dressing directions. You'd think for $700+ you'd get a decent owner's manual? Anyhow, trial and error was my entry to square grinding 101...

Husky 365 I used to work with a guy who's only saw was a Husky 365. He couldn't kill that saw. He fell, cut logs in the brush, bucked on the landing, and cut tons of firewood with that saw. Not to mention his maintenance program is/was zero:cry: That saw ran under that load for over a...

Efco sharpener Woojr, Is your Efco sharpener a grinder? If so, is it a round or square chisel grinder? I use an Oregon 511A for round chain, and a Silvey RII for square chisel. There is a quite a difference in grinding technique between round and square chains. Sounds like your...

What a year!!! John, How do you go about finding/locating your firewood where you're at up there in Canada? Down here in Washington State, I locate most of my firewood on state and forest service land (with permit), plus logging jobs. What species do you cut for firewood (i.e., doug...

Madsen's Shop and Supply Inc. (Centralia, WA) website shows a 395XP with 32 inch bar and chain for $924. Check it out. Excellent website!!!

Aim Is The Game!!! During a paid vacation from work in the fall of 02', a buddy and I felled, bucked, split, and delivered 20 cord in a seven day period. At the end of the week I wasn't sure if we'd produced more blocks of wood or empty beer cans:dizzy: Helped with the back pain:) 44...

I am in search of (and have been for some time) a Stihl 056, in good condition, with a full wrap handlebar. If you have one that isn't junk, and would like to sell it, please let me know. Thank You...

Keep your wheel clean!!! Woojr, little grinding tip, before removing your chain, run your saw through a piece of clean wood, whatever that may be, depending on your geographic area and working conditions. I prefer douglas fir for this. Anyhow, run your saw through the wood until your...

Works for round chisel also! JP, being left handed, I've found this method to also work extremely well for some of the round chisel chains I use/have used. I am able to look down the tooth easier and keep my angles good and straight. Learned this from a cutter who came from the Mt. St...

Ten degrees below zero and running like a champ! Where I'm from, the biggest critique of the Stihl (by fellow loggers) has been their poor starting ability in extreme cold. I only run Husky's for logging though so I wouldn't know:hmm3grin2orange: Hey JP, does it get pretty cold down...

Couldn't agree more! The new 575XP and 372XP would eat any 044/440 or 046/460 I've ran for lunch, and ask for seconds. Excellent saw, the 575. I flip a coin each morning to see what I'll be falling with, my 372XP, or the 575XP. I don't want them getting jealous of each other:cry...

Bought one used, in excellent condition a couple of months ago. Had excellent luck with it so far. What power! Love to hear any thoughts/opinions/experiences from other 2095 users/owner's, etc. Anybody know if a full wrap handlebar was made for this model? Anyone know where I can find/buy a...

I recently stumbled onto an older Stihl 056 Magnum II at a local pawnshop. The saw is in excellent condition and has been gone through completely. The saw runs great and shows no visual sign of abuse that anyone who runs saw can notice right off the bat. This saw would definitely meet all the...
