Weeeellllll?????

If it's who I think it is, you have nothing to worry about.

Any reason you would be reluctant to actually say who you bought the saw from? Why the secrecy? People say who they bought their saws from on AS all the time. Good sellers appreciate it. If you're a reputable seller, it actually helps you sell saws. Someone here may know "him" and be able to...

Do you feel the shaking???? It's an EARTHQUAKE baby!! With a VIPER engine!!!! Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

Wow. Could have wrote that myself minus the Prednisone and the desire to file a race chain. I'd get done with the race chain and never use it because I had 5 hours in sharpening it! With respect to the many paragraphs previously posted attempting to delve into the minutia of chain sharpening...

Rookie' I am just bustin' on you a little, your post made me chuckle a bit. You're worried about scratching your bar? It's a bar, getting scratched is part of its job. You worried about resale value? If you clamp the bar solidly, all you'll get is some dimpling. Filing without a vise puts...

Just because I am a sweetheart of a guy, I will offer my services as a CAD therapist. Treatment is as follows: You send me all of your saws except three. You may keep three. That is your limit. Just go Cold Turkey. It's the only way. It's for the best. It's a sacrifice on my part, but I am all...

Oldtimer, Is your avatar from "Snatch"? Mr. Bricktop? Love that movie. The guy plays an excellent gangster. Quote from Rookie, Is a vice really needed though? I really hate to scuff up my bars, I guess I could apply something to the pads of the vice to keep it from scratching. Thanks...

Yes it does. I have Chainsaws, Guitars, motorcycles, Tractors, antique fishing equipment, firearms, tools, machines, Electronics, etc... in far greater quantity and size than I should. This is not to be confused with hoarding. I mean, those people have a problem.............

B-Rock, Welcome aboard sir. You will find 2 things are true. 1) Chainsaws ARE tools. 2) We are all enablers. We fawn over acquired chainsaws like they were newborns.

Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder. It's just G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Disorder) customized for the Chainsaw. I am unfortunately burdened with GAS. I collect everything.

I asked this a while ago, on an 066. There is no difference. Just a "marketing upgrade". Sounds cool though.

Man, you can't beat that offer! Is this a great website or what?

I concur. I haven't had a "shop" sharpen a chain in 10 years. It's like they look for the shortest/most damaged cutter and then take another 3/32" in addition. I dig that pretty blue color as well. I think they are trying to sell chain. Also, they are business people who know that 90% of the...

Thanks for the input, The main reason I ask about this particular saw, is that I read a while ago, that being a reed valve saw, it wouldn't respond well to a muffler mod. I didn't understand the comment, in as much as breathing is breathing, piston ported or reed, but I do know that I don't know...

Yup, that would make a lot more sense. I have however, seen guys try to file that don't have much experience, ( NOT suggesting that the man doesn't know how to file, I'm sure he's good at it, don't flame me ;) and they "skate" the file through the cutter, and dull the file really quickly. As...

I renamed the thread since the original title looked weird, and didn't get any responses. I would delete the thread, but I don't know how. Anyway....... I recently picked up a like new Echo 3450. Small saw, not much "wow" factor, but I think it's pretty well built, like most Echo's. It is a...

From Oldtimer: "I personally use SHORT file strokes as opposed to using the entire length of the file on each stroke. Short strokes are far easier to control; your angles will benefit. When that section of file gets dull, I use another part. I can make a file last nearly an entire chain."...

Here is the link for the "Glint" spoken of.http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/109475.htm It is an awesome thread. Wonderful pictures. I had not seen it before, and I really applaud the guy for doing it. You must see this.

Look here first. Check your depth gauges by laying a straight edge across two or more cutters with the chain on the straight part of the bar, If you can't pass at least an .020" shim under the straight edge you have to lower the gauges. There are simple to use guides/gauges/files for this task...
