So what did you buy today

[Sawdust Man]

I know I could use about 2 more of those myself!!!

Yes, I wanted a backup in case my other one pukes out on a hot day.

Air movement makes a ton of difference when it's hot & muggy!

You ain’t lying… I was out touching up some chains for Kevin’s GTG next month and I was dying until I turned the fan on. It was at least tolerable then.

With the fans, and the heat, you guys are just working in a big air fryer!

Not if you are in the shade, when you sweat and have air moving you get evaporative cooling…

Thanks, this overview is new to me. Interesting that it shows 2 different angles in some cases. The only part that is adjustable is the chain vice or whatever it's called.

I can do it with Chinese Einhel, you can do it with Stihl

Local supermarket has 2 chains/box deal at 15€ this week.
I took a look, 3/8" LowProfile and .325".

I bought a box of 3/8"LP 40DL .043" just to have spares for my battery saws, small saws, and pole saw.

The best deal was a box with 2 loops of 72DL .325" .058" full chisel.
I almost took one box, but didn't because I have no 72DL .325" bars.

It's a bit old school, but for £26 ($33) I think I did OK?

A very oily Snap-On CTU4850HO 1/2" impact driver with battery and charger. In good working order. The battery even holds charge.

Nope. Only round. I have run factory square filed chain and loved it though. Been watching lots of videos on grinding as well. I’m prepared for a big learning curve. I think. Lol
It’s been awhile, but I bought a 262xp from my friend Daniel at his saw shop and it had a chain he sharpened just for me on it. When I first glanced at the chain it looked almost worn out to me. I didn’t mention it, just left w/the saw. When I got it home I looked closer and the cutters had two teeth. I had never seen it before but I thought it might be square ground. It really cut too. Man I was really impressed with that saw, but the chain just melted the red oak I was cutting up. That and a second chain I purchased for a different saw sums up my experience with it.
