Thread: show us your chainsaws

One saw is never enough

Stihl 40cc rear handle now then get another Stihl but 70 cc when the trees are larger

Run full chisel chain, with rakers at 20-25 thou

Use a GB Harvester bar if you only want to buy one bar in your lifetime

Yeah, I have enough 95cc saws (in going and not going condition ), so am having a look about at these elec saws for the lighter work. Throwing 8 and a half kgs of saw around to prune some chopsticks has long since lost its gloss

Very efficient machines

Chain condition controls performance here, leave raker depth at or shallower than factory to maintain chain speed, chain tension to be slightly looser than normal

Leave the top plate/cutter at 30 deg and Drop your down angle to 50 degrees

This gives a smooth fast cutting chain that’s razor sharp and self feeds, these chains need to keep their speed elevated in the cut

Dress your bar when need be to keep the chain parallel in the guides, run the best bar oil
