Thread: show us your chainsaws

trying to post video of my bench saw set up... not having much luck so far.

might have to email it to someone less technically retarded and get them to post it.....

https://youtu.be/WfW_8o9_Vu0

with a lot of help from a great fella here we have it.thats a 30 plus year old 025 with a non roller tip bar....I cut near on a cord of willow branches for one tank of fuel using this set up

I have 2 Stihls a petrol jobby and an electric battery one.. The petrol one hasn't been used for a year or 2. The battery one is one of the best things i have ever bought.

Nowhere as sophisticated as Mickys but this my branch frame.
And these are my saws.
Still 084 in the mill frame wearing the short bar (36 in)
Huskie 365 had from new in 1998 a bit like captain cooks axe now has some 371xp bits which sped things up a bit.
Oily o mac deliberately spelt like that as I've never had a saw leak so much bar oil when sitting doing nothing. Actually an Oleomac 936 i brought as a replacement when a sthil "toy saw" shat itself doing light work scrub cutting and was told that it wasn't designed for that. Got a refund and brought this. It didnt blow up. It's been used as general small job dogsbody and fencing 1saw for 10 years been through a few bars etc.
Absolutely no brand allegiance showing there whatsoever.

Cheap as Ozito great for tree top stuff. I’m now a city slicker and this is my neighbour’s tree. Every branch has had to be lowered by rope as it’s hard up against the fence and hanging over the house. Love the little saw for this type of work. I might bust out the 064 for the final cut.

@Micky Duck it looks like it's doing the job and making life really easy for you, but mate I suspect if I was using it my first impression is that chain is too close to my hands! Did you make up the jig yourself? How is it attached to the front of the bar?

Good to put a face to the name too

it was made commercially 30 something years back.
the chain is no closer to my hands,than it would be to someone else holding stick on side of trailer...or my boot if standing on branch to cut it (is there any other way?)
the last cut,my hand is about 4" from cutty bit. rear of bar it has small plate and bar is sandwiched between so it comes off in one bit.... see photos in Phil Hs thread on farm access...the tip.....now thats WHY its not a roller tip bar...hole drilled through bar ,bolt goes through and two pressed metal plated cover end of bar to protect user. I had it on roller tip bar but had to make up shield for it....the bullnose bar MUCH MUCH better.the saw doesnt rev its nuts off so the old saw suits the set up well.

yeah thats neat...the end of bar being exposed and under his armpit gives me the heebee geebees....like mostthings in life,safe till somethinggoes wrong,same with other end of bar..... Ive seen a similar set up with 5 foot bar that runs off front of wheel tractor....man can that thing buzz through blue gum like there is no tomorrow.

So tell me what model this saw is....lost it's sticker....is there anywhere else on the saw that gives it's model?

Can't be many models that have that plastic catch instead of the usaly 2 nuts to take the cover off. Had a husky that had a similar set up and it was a prick of a thing.

have a look under cover by air filter.....hard to judge size from photo but IM GUESSING thats about a 14'' bar???
