I sorta liked Rob's idea..



Crude, yet effective.

Answer to bar heat = moar oil...

Pour dat shiz on!!!

Want a cooler running bar? Simple! Strip the paint or powdercoat off and rough up with sandpaper, ( more surface area to come in contact with ambient air ), then treat it with black oxide gun bluing which absorbs and radiates heat. Cannon has had this figured out awhile now. When my Cannon bars start looking dingy , I hit it with sandpaper then wipe with Birchwood Casey wipe on cold blue

Evidently, unless you post 125 videos your common sense does not apply.

Is that why guys milling have auxiliary oilers? Who'da thunk it?

They should just run a belt sander over their bars, that would be a lot cheaper and I have seen video proof that removing the paint will make their saws run cooler. I guess that's why guys who actually wear the paint off their bars never complain about overheating a saw.

I haven't read every post in the thread, maybe these have been answered. Couple questions:

How does one get the chain tension exactly the same for every test? Wouldn't chain tightness play a significant role in bar/chain temps?

How about oiler hole size? When you remove the clear coat, do the oiler holes get larger letting more oil onto the chain, resulting in lower temps? Thinking out loud.

My head hurts now. I need to get laid. Any brownies left?

Those questions don't matter. Redbull already knows that removing the paint from the bar makes his saw cut faster and last longer. Any questions past that are just arguing.

Bingo!!! Lol!! I find it interesting to study this type stuff. I did find out Cannons theory behind their finish on their bars though. Good enough for me

I may get a 24 tsumura and strip the clear powdercoat and sand her down and blue it!!!

Hmmmmm...
The ink on this catalog is performing excellent..

I bet if you open the cover it is like stripping the paint and the white pages inside will be cooler .

Strictly in the interest of science, I stopped at a brothel on my way home today.

Instead of stripping the paint, I removed the paint from a stripper, and believe me, she was not as hot. Wanted to try another test but my bar was cold and wouldn't work after that.

I know about where you live.....she was never that hot to start with
