Just bought a belsaw...any tips ?

[Honest John]

Kind of excited to run this. I'm pretty decent with a hand file, but I wanted this for the stuff that's really nicked up. Anyone else use one of these ?

Does it have the Chainsaw chain attachments? Let us know how it works for you. I have an old foley belsaw 399 I use for rakers.

Yeah, I think it's all there. The chain wraps around the wheel there and then the whole unit tilts forward. You can set the stop in the center for consistency. It'll probably take me a while to get good with it. Fortunately, I've got a few hundred loops of yard sale chain in the shop to practice with.
