Stihler was a no go on the 404 tall.

Still gotta dig through my chains...

Really need to invest in a spinner breaker.

Any recommendations?

Replacement parts (punches, anvils, etc.) can be important. Don't buy a no-brand 'all-in-one' one. Bailey's has a set on sale occasionally. The Oregon sets are well supported - there are some Oregon clones that share the same parts.

Just watched Brett's 395 video. That looks like a cool day work saw to me. The pipe is nice and compact.


Found an old rusty loop with big cutters. Thought it was junk. Maybe not. I'll get a pic.

 

[Deets066]

68 lx 404. Cutter and raker a re shaped much better than other 404 I have used. This pic is of the chain just out of the box

HerOTE="Terry Syd, post: 178764, member: 575"]You wouldn't have a picture of it would you? Was the side plate closer to 45 degrees rather than 60 degrees which you would find on a top plate angle of 30 degrees?[/QUOTE]
Here is a pic from phone, not SLR. Chain is VXL Oregon lo pro 3/8 050 I was running on a ms200t about 4 years ago. Surprised I actually found it! 33348[/ATTACH] Its a very poor camera phone pic....sorry.

 

[Terry Syd]

I agree, that's a terrible picture! It must have been a whole bunch of fun getting that file under the cutter on Low Profile.

Can you remember what the side plate angle was?
