Sorry that it did not work out for you. Glad you found something that works.Philbert, I tried the grease tip you mention for the spinner I got and it made things worse so I went back the the Magic Tap cutting oil.
I keep an old, plastic, Rx container with a little wheel bearing grease with my spinner, and place a dot of it on each rivet with a toothpick. The need to lube the end when spinning was emphasized to me by an Oregon chain engineer, so I was surprised to not see it mentioned in their video. Usually I hear 'a drop of oil', but the grease stays put better for me.
Yep, they fall under 'consumables', and like most other things, it is a skill that takes some practice to develop.Destroy three sets of presets during the testing.
That's a real challenge. Locally, the big box store sells Oregon 'S56' loops for something like $8 on sale; local shops charge at least $7 to sharpen. Seems wasteful to me to throw them out but hard to make a business case for a sharpening service. Sharpening your own, on your own time, is a different story.I can sell a loop this size for nearly as cheap as my sharpening fee.
