Detailing a chainsaw ,the official PSP thread

[Stihlofadeal64]

I bet Dave is stripping all the paint off his saws now ,and getting the green rouge stick out and the polishing wheel .

Don't be hard on him. The man is as dedicated as you will find. A true man of this genre -- a gentleman, scholar and pretty much a great guy to deal with. Just DON'T touch the PRECIOUS

Does anyone else put cucumber slices over their saws' exhaust ports?

Only when under a uv light.

Yet again, y'all have completely ruined a serious, important thread on AS.

Anyone polish the chrome on their chain?

All day long, I run them through the wood at about 3000 FPM

"A rolling stone gathers no moss"

A balanced sharp and true chain gathers no pitch

Chitty quality chain dosent polish in the wood for long

Good idea!

Maybe I'll put my chains in the tanning bed after I get them back from the cryogenic treatment!

Thanks!

Mine could prolly use a tanning session, they sit in the shop so much.

I use my cleanest dirty t shirt, then polish it with my toupe.

Hey I aint to proud to admit that sometimes I need help rubbing my junk properly, we are all here to learn

is any of this stuff good for polishing? the second pic is a bunch of stuff that came with a toolbox I picked up, all looks abrasive.

Pro Tip: if you run used fryer oil as bar oil it makes your saw smell like French fries or freedom fries as we called them for about a month that one time France pissed us off.

Looks like acne to me, be proactiv, get off that 32:1 and use 50:1.

as far as i know, all Jamie runs is 50:1. guess what to? his saws last him a few years! on AS this is BS though. nothing lasts more then a few tanks on 50:1.

lets not exaggerate guys most saws will last at least a few tanks on 50:1 if it is ethanol free and says motomix on the can

does that thing even cut wood? i see some noodles sticking out of the clutch cover but i have a feeling that might be staged. the thing actually looks like it has a scored top end .
