Yes. Dam wheel cost twice as much as the grinder because I thought that was a good idea at the time. It does work well and will probably last my lifetime

That is an incredible setup. Here's my much worse looking sharpening rig Features include, Poor quality Oregon knock off grinder Some scrap metal welded together. Drilled and tapped to mount a grinder on one side and the FG2 on the other. It gets clamped in the bench vice when it's need and...

Probably not. I think I will just leave it with the 3/8LP and have some fun with the saw. If I get time during the week I'm going to pull the cylinder and have a look at the ports. Hopefully a little clean up and a muffler mod will get a bit more out of it

Im not sure the only other saw I have been running lately has been the 288 and it's the loudest dam thing I own so everything seems quite by comparison. I'll have to run it with the 170 some time and see. Im not sure if I will try the 325 at this stage. I might just shorten some other 3/8lp...

I might try it but I'm not really sure what to do with this thing. It feels like so much more saw than a ms170/180 when using it

This may be a really dumb question / idea but, Has anyone run a 325 setup on one of these small 340/341 type saws? It have found a cheap 13" GB bar in this mount but I'm not sure it's going to pull it. Runs the 3/8LP really well but a 325 7 will probably be too much I'm guessing

Yep, it's the lower that changes. Oregon is 050 and 058 same with a coined (thinned) drive tang below the straps. Their 063 is bigger the whole way. Stihl is 063 and coined to make 050 or 058. Uppers are the same. I don't see much of an advantage either way. If 050 is what's common around you...

Run whatever is most common in your area because it will be the cheapest. I run 058 and 063 because 050 is uncommon here so there is a limited choice in what's available. I don't see an advantage or disadvantage with any of them in normal lengths. 28"+ the 063 appears to stabilize better but I...

It's just out here being helpful. Wish the oil fill hole was bigger to suit my combi can, other wise it's pretty awesome for a 34cc saw

Is this how your ment to use the small saws? I like this little thing. Couldn't quite get the bottom and had to break it off

The chain brake is in the side cover. Am I right in thinking these are based off the 100S?

Found this little guy for $30 and couldn't say no

I agree with all the above that the right tools do make life easier but also be careful with what you buy. I have owned a cheap breaker for about 10 years and it's such a pain to use that I just file the head off and smack them with a punch. The buy once cry once idea might have some merit...

Looks like they are really going all in on this idea now. Not sure about other parts of the world but they have started pushing Hexa again here. They are offering the 3/8 hexa with a 20% discount compared to RS and have more promotional stuff at the dealers. The real question is, what have...

Stopped by a hire shop on Saturday and picked up 19 chains for $0. All are 66DL loops of archer 3/8 063 semi and all look like this But who can say no to free stuff. Time to get to work
