I've heard it's easy to modify the pumps but I haven't tried

I like skip tooth better cause it's less teeth to sharpen! lol!

Hey thanks for reply...

Does the 32" bar get enough oil???

What gauge do you run .50 or .63????

All the saws we have at work are .63. I'm shure it won't have a issue with oil. Especially when you work the saw for a bit and the oil gets hot from engine and exhaust

Yes & Yes.

I like Skip better in Soft wood & full comp better in Hardwood.

I'm going to sell my Oregon RW 32" 0.063": I haven't posted it yet.

It's nice.

Did you cut through the hinge on the right side?

Almost, but not completely.

That tree was in line with the 2 in front of it, & I thinned it out to lay just to left, beside the other one in the pic.

It does look a bit sketchy in the picture,but I would have busted that saw log had I not.

I was wondering about that. The pic was hard to tell to the structure off to the left as where the tips would land. But looks like some fun drops.

About 18" too short.

.063 is better in longer bars.

 

[Khntr85]

.063 is better in longer bars.

I know I have heard many theories, but what makes it better???

 

[mdavlee]

I don't know why but it doesn't overheat as bad or plug up with dust. Milling shows it over 24". I have a 32" 050" but rarely use it. I'll use a longer lightweight bar in 63" even with stock oiler on the 46s

Understood....

I ordered a 32" .50 with a loop of Oregon skip....I am anxious to see how it runs!!!!

My 461s oil a 32 with 50 gauge just tits.

I think timber fallers like the 63 not so much for the oil capacity but the stability of the chain on the rails..atleast thats what my friends say.

For occasional firewood cutting its a non issue...go with whats available to you locally incase you need to buy a chain in a pinch.

I also like skip on long bars for that reason, just makes my life easier when I'm using them all day. I like the 28" RW Oregon bars, but that's because I have a saw in my hands 6 hours a day

Good to hear it oils the 32" sufficiently....around me .50 gauge is most prevalent....do you run full comp or skip on the 32"....

Ya for just firewood a guy can make anything work...to firewood guys around here a ms290 is a big saw lol!!!

I was just wanting to make sure I have a rig I can use for hours on end without fail....

I run full skip now because i can file it quicker and i dont use a 32"bar enough for the durability to even matter...and it clears chips better.
