    Someone posted this a while back. I haven't bought one yet but they do look pretty handy. I seem to quite often sharpen one side a bit more than the other when I do them by hand.

    I've got a skip tooth rip chain for the big bar but that's only one on one off. I take it that's a granberg chain, how much does that slow the cut? My skip doesn't seem to make much difference but the saw runs easier and the cut a bit smoother. I think granberg y also used to make a half tooth one.

    Speaking of files, I succumbed to a pack of 12 .325s off Ali a while ago. Bloody cheap and I wasn't expecting much but they are easily as good as anything else I've ever bought. If anything, they held their edge longer!

    -- just had a look, this seems to be them. Bit more expensive though at ~$1.50 each delivered incl GST

    It’s Oregon 27RX super skip. Cuts as fast as any when slabbing, which is the only time it’s used obviously. Saw runs fast and doesn’t get bogged down, and holds its edge really well. When it does need a touch up, it’s a quick job.

    Clearly this thread needs a little more "sassiness" .........

    Enter the Sachs-Dolmar PS-52 and its little helper the 221 TH. I also have an older version of the PS-52 with a different handle and ant-vibration assembly but it is currently awaiting new vibration isolators so the handle is off it.

    used a similar set up with two 066 STIHLS on end of 6 foot bar...Roger Larsen from Ratehi owned it and we used to slab rimu in bush and get flitches at 750kgs then fly out under a jetranger...was fun times...and a good way to take out the old trees without leaving a huge scar on landscape...most of those trees had been left as in too hard basket to get wire rope down to...bluffs no problem to a whirlybird.

    Very cool to see some pre health-and-safety saws

    You'd probably enjoy watching a guy on YouTube - Buckin' Billy Ray Smith, he has a couple of vids with some beefy McCullochs

    Echo CS-900ESL I inherited from my father-in-law when he passed away 24 years ago. It weighs a tonne but has plenty of grunt. I just used it to tidy up a stump in all this lockdown busyness...

    Father-in-law was a tough old bugger. He was still cutting his own firewood up until his passing at 72. He might have even purchased this new as I have the original owner's manual.
