I think sausage fingers may be been listening to this one when he did my 346.

I ran across her in a blues club in Chicago.

Yes Sir! That gal can get it done! Ive heard her play, just hadnt heard her sing til now. Thanks for posting that.
Very talented.
My grandad could play. He loved his bluegrass.
I got his love of music, especially the guitar.
Ive never been able to learn to play.

Lemme try the roller deal first. I'll hit the tractor supply tomorrow to see if they have one. After i get a feel for that I'll know if I should try the 2in 1 you have. I actually had forgotten about those. The swedish roller I hadn't seen b4. Thank you guys for the tips. Originally I had no plans of learning free hand filing. But the more I get the saw sickness the more I want to learn. Hell I'll probably end up with a degree wheel and a pile of ruined cylinders at some point too.

Joanna Connor is a bad ass. Fact.

I'm kinda overly concerned about the file angle I think too. As in the 35 degree deal....

Not as important as the file height. Another big thing is tooth length. Most people file one side better...and take more offa that tooth. Then the saw won't cut straight....and they're like....wtf?

yes and i have that one if you want it
it helped me alot and now i just use a file on a handle

You're a good man Dallas.

Mostly 3/8 lp, 043 and 3/8 lp 050.
Filing 5/16"(.325) and 3/8(.375)
Is a lot easier than 3/8 LP in my opinion. The low profile cutter doesnt give you as much working space, or thats the way it feels to me.
I'm no expert by any means, but ive learned through trial and (mostly) error what works. Dont sweat it. Its one of those things that just "clicks", and you get a feel for it. The guide seems to make it worse for me because I cant "feel" when its right.
Dallas and several others here know way more than I do, and can offer way better tips.

I now have 3 saws that use regular 3/8 but still in the not running category. That EZ you like, a Homelite 150 and a blue Homelite. Xl something. Bigger than that EZ. One runner using 3/8 is the Remington SL9 I have. I haven't tried filing that yet. Everything I'm actually running on the regular is the 3/8 lp and one 1/4 pitch. I hope that never dulls because it looks the pain in the arse to do.

That looks rather painful.



Glad to hear that Steve. Our "pets" seem to wind up being the most loyal friends we ever have.



If only they knew more than 3 chords.....and could sing rather than scream.



May hell.....AC/DC sucks dog balls.



Have they done an MRI yet Mark? Sounds like a pinched nerve.

Can’t do mri
I have a bladder stimulater in my butt cheek so it would pull it out
Chiro said my L5 and sacrum. She said that these 2 are very painful
Got me on a muscle relaxer and hydrocodone still is hardly bearable
I need some scotch to mix with but don’t have any [emoji3061]

I broke my back at L5-S1. It wasn't pleasant. Felt like I was being cut upen in that crease between your belly and junk. And like I had the fullest bladder all the time. I hope you get to the bottom of it soon bud. Spine stuff sucks.

Three reasons I'll probably never try porting my own saws;
1. Most of my junk has cylinders and pistons that arent easy to get a replacement for WHEN I screw them up terribly.
2. I'm old, half blind, and not that coordinated between the hand/eye/brain.
3. Theres Maffs involved.
I has too many Maffs I has to do at work already, and it makes my head hurt...
You also cant just do a base gasket delete on a 10 series Mac. There's piston and rod modification that has to happen. Lots of parts that cost a lot to replace if I screw up, and they aint making those anymore.
