It is.

And, anyone who could tune one retired thirty years ago.[emoji6]

And, GM revised it eight or ten times from ‘57 to ‘65.[emoji849]

Bishops report:

I dug two out of a pile of thirty carcasses. Stihl MS290 and a Husky 670. PHO, needing at least top ends.

Young fella shot me a price of $300 for the pair. [emoji33]

Forgetaboutit!

Methinks they be a bit proud of their old saws. They must think they're on eFlay

If you're going to round file, buy a $35 Granberg File-n-joint. One of the best purchases I ever made, makes for a hell of a chain. Otherwise an Oregon 520/Tecomec Jolly or better (like the Maxx that I bought, or the Oregon 620/Tecomec Super Jolly) is a worthwhile investment towards long-term maintenance.

I think I have one of those Granbergs, a little aluminum frame that clamps on the bar? Seemed too tedious for having to hand file. I'd like to speed up and standardize the process. Square filing seems a bit unnecessary to me, though I do have a couple of chains set up that way.

A basic solid chain grinder that will let me make all the cutters the same length and do a reasonably accurate job without loosening up and getting sloppy after a few chains. I'll read up on it a bit, then look for something used, I think. I'd rather get a used Subaru than a new Fiat, is the idea I use.

Holy crap. Was that young Bishop giving you that price?

It can be a bit tedious, but if you take your time and set your angles with it, it will produce very uniform results. The grinder will be much more efficient and faster, but it all depends on what you're doing. I will likely continue to use it for the MS201 and possibly the small huskies with 18" and less chains. BUT, I am truly happy and thankful to the Lord for finally being able to afford the grinder.

There you go, sounding like them turds on the vet forums.[emoji13]

Exactly why I left there and turned up here with real people. [emoji108]
