Cheapo DIY 2 minute small file/ screwdriver holder - foam board screwed with a washer to a piece of 2x4. I got tired looking for and going through a pile of different files to find a certain one. You know the one that got buggered or chipped for the left cutters but works on the right hand... There was plenty of room so put some other small files on the block too. DSCN6170.JPG

I have question for the experienced felows on here regarging bar oiler holes, when in l run squre chisel seems like i get about i0 cuts and the bar oil hole plugs with fine dust and wil quit oiling, have a i6" oregon power match bar that actually shoved the fines all the way into the oil tube, also have a raisman bar that did the same thing, but i took a small cut of wheel and angled the oil slot towads the tip of the bar seems to have that fixed, it doesn't do that with round fille chains, any thoughts.

I have noticed if your running say an .050 chain in a .058 or .063 bar, similar has happened. Never noticed just from switching how I file
I did notice it started when switching from 7 to 8 pin rim, but don't know what that would have to do with it really.

My square throws ribbons, not fine dust.
View attachment 117880
Mine throws large chips also, I'm running a ko95 16" on a 346, I'm running a std rim 8 pin 3/8 , it looks like i should have got an 18" bar and cut the tail down, looking a min ago it looks like the chain is riding way high on the bar.
