I usually keep 4 or 5 chains per bar length. I don't like to sharpen while cutting...I just swap chains. Works for me. Your mileage may vary. JQ

Remember, you are sharpening the front edge and corner of the cutter. Keep in mind that the front of the cutter really is the bottom side of the leading portion of the top cutter plate. I've seen rookies completely miss the proper edges when hand-filing. It's not too difficult. Take your...

I did the same thing a few years back. Easy project. Bolt right up.

Well...didn't intend this to morph into an oil thread. I was just annoyed for having to listen to a brand-blinded infomercial laced with a liberal amount of B.S. It seems that the misinformation and disinformation plague is not just for politics, the media, and kooky culture. I'll get off my...

I'll start by saying that I own gas power tools from various manufacturers -- Husqvarna, Stihl, Echo, etc. I've owned Fords, Chevy's, Hondas, Toyotas, Subuarus, etc. I consider myself to be brand "open" and not brand "blind". So, I went over to the local Stihl dealer to buy a new FC 111...

I went back and picked up another 8 "gallons". Now I have 16. :)

My Lowes store had a volume discount. Posted price was $4.70 (+/- a couple of ¢) if 4 or more were purchased. So, I purchased 8. JQ

I just purchased eight (8) of the almost-one-gallon cans for under $5.00 each. With tax was approx. $40. Not bad. JQ

My 592XP continues to impress me each time I use it. It's a beast in the wood, but handles like a smaller saw. My 2¢ JQ

What RBS filter do you have on the 592XP?

Very, very nice. I want that bar / chain combo for my 592XP. That'll fell some big Washington trees, no doubt. JQ

I ran this saw again today for several hours. I continue to be impressed with this little Japanese saw. It's a good, strong runner and super light. I dropped 2 trees that were 18" DBH. Bucked 'em up too. Obviously wasn't as fast as a bigger saw, but it did the job. I haven't yet done the...

I've been running Klotz R-50 in all my 2-cycle engines for many years. 40:1 mix ratio. Never had a failure of any kind due to oil. Personally, I like the Klotz products. JQ

PHO? I sold mine for $900 last year. Very nice saw...low hours. Full wrap bar.

In another thread (https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/550xp-mark-2-572-fuel-mixture-with-pipe.369043/#post-8059189) there was a post that mentioned a product called "Frogz Skins". The post showed how member SquareGround3691 installed a Frogz Skin vent in a newer Husqvarna saw filter box. I'm...
