Man alive gentleman.
I’m buying a saw tomorrow morning and I still can’t decide between the stihl and dolmar. This is worse than buying a car.
I’m familiar with stihl.
I’d like to belong to the mysterious dolmar club. It’s almost like a Freemason type organization
Argh. This is tough.
Buy what feels good in your hands.
I’m in the market for some dawgs.
The stihl 660 ones didn’t seem to fit the 462. When I looked it seems the bolt holes were farther apart.
I’d like to take this conversation to dawgs now, please.
Hi. It’s a really small spike that already on the saw. Not much substance there.There is a Stihl OEM outer spike. Don't known the part number off-hand, but your dealer should be able to look that up and order it.
Hah. Thanks for that after I bought the stihlI can buy a 7900 for $275 less than a 462.The 462 is lighter and the 7900 is proven and will run a 34” bar buried in oak.462 may do that also I just don’t know.
When it comes to Stihl chains, it's basically between the semi-chisel and the full-chisel. The semi-chisel is the "low-kickback" stuff, which I happen to prefer, because it gives a smoother ride and is more forgiving to use. The cutting speed difference between semi-chisel and full-chisel isn't enough for me to get hung up on, and I'll trade that speed difference for a more controllable, and less "grabby" sort of cutting experience. I think semi-chisel is easier to file, too, and I'm told it keeps its edge longer as you work, so you're sharpening less often.
Of course, many, many here will recommend full-chisel, and they're certainly not wrong. Buy a loop of both and see which you prefer.
Also, a loop of carbide chain isn't a bad addition to the toolkit for the instance where you find yourself messing with old, dirty, or dead wood, or stumps.
The 462 is lighter and more powerful than every other saw in its class.
It’s only money.Should be a very good sawHah. Thanks for that after I bought the stihl
I’ll never know now!Buy what feels good in your hands.
I have my Freemason rings somewhere lol.
That's a stretch..on the power claim.
But it is light.
