Nope, no gains to be made at all by doing this. It's just an old wives tail, like cleaning you're air filter and using bar oil. No need to do any of them!:spam:

i usually dont have to worry about the lettering on the bar being the wrong direction because i have the lettering wore off within a day. so it never really bothers me when i flip a bar.
I had a lady once bring back the saw she picked up for her husband.
She told me that her husband said I must not know what I am doing, if I cannot even put the bar on correctly............
She was good lookin, so I was gentle. She was busty, so I was nice.
You guys are all confused. Flipping the bar over prevents kick back, When the bar is upside down the saw will fly away from you instead of kicking back. Boy, there sure are a bunch of rookies on this site.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
Probably not, my way has just become a habit - and I said I am probably overdoing it - but it doesn't "cost" anything, when the bar is off anyway, for cleaning........
Depends on which wood you cut, green birch isn't abrasive to the paint at all - but the conifers are worse, and dry/dead wood as well.....:greenchainsaw:
i'm confussed are you suppost to flip the chain, when you flip the bar, or do you turn it inside out.

That assumes I'd take the bar off every day? ha! It stays on for many many sharpenings!
cutting 15000-20000 bft a day of oak and hickory will wear the letters off the bar to
Good question, it depends on your personal preference. Turning the chain inside out with the bar upside down will cause the saw to kick away and down, If you flip the chain and the bar the saw will kick away and up. The latter is a little dangerous when you help is not paying attention.
