Sappy, I'm glad that someone finally brought up veggie oil.
Guys,Forget all you think you know about the need for tackifiers and the importance of viscosity for bar oil. Personally , I prefer canola but have used soybean oil with good results. Chainstretch has become a thing of the past(of course sharp chains remain essential). The cutters stay clean-even in Ash. Thin though it is, enough oil makes the trip around and bar wear is virtually eliminated. On the molecular level vegetable oils have an ionic affinity for steel. Even though it is thin a film stays on the steel. The stuff flows well so marginal oilers pump. I love it. It does tend to induce cravings for french fries though.

Actually, all my saws are now running Safeway brand corn oil at $6 per gallon.

Corn fed & inbred, lets see.... now we''ll hear that corn oil is better than or equal to Husky or Stihl oil. I guess for a weekend warrior its ok, I would never run that in my saws (that are no better than Homo-lites just because they are pro Husky and Stihl). When is this man ever going to admit he isn't the man?

This is new! least we forget,,,,,,,,

After doing one quartered log with the saw, including a pass in which the entire 18" bar was completely buried in the log, I reluctantly came to the conclusion that I was likely going to smoke the saw before I got entirely done with the job. I have to say this, though...that little Homelite sure gave it a go, and more than pulled it's weight for the money I paid for it. Even after milling the log, the Homelite showed no signs of any negative effect for the experience, and continues to be a reliable, excellent running little saw.

I next poured over the chainsaw material available on the internet, hunted down some possible candidates and went to look at them, and finally decided that one of the midrange Stihl saws would be as good a choice as any. ( After all, we're only talking cedar here, it's not like I'm milling oak or walnut or other hardwoods.)

Now I think we know what he dose when he isn't spreading his wisdom here,,,, as the bumper sticker reads

"I brake for Garage Sales!",,,,

as he is clearly taking prisoners? Or was it out of 5 saws, not one could cut "we're only talking cedar here"?

I used that little Homelite just this weekend on some oak. Works like a champ too. That has to irk you Stihl fanboys...the Homelite still works like brand new while the former Stihl 390 is buried somewhere in Stihl heaven pushing up chainsaw daisies. Ouch!

So what is it, "that little Homelite" and a new rauncher used on the massive mill, or 6 chainsaws/tire-chalks?

Homo-lite, Actually Sap, I'm gonna give you a saying that you would never have heard with your inexperience...... "Stihl, Stihl in the shop"..... I like them both, Stihl pro and XP Huskies, but I'm a snob. Hey, what about circular saws you are qualified to talk about, is the crap on sale at Wally World just as good as a Black and Decker super sawcat? Or a Makita, Milwaukee circ saw?

Huh? You're not making sense...maybe it's the thin air up there in the Rockies. I'll type slower this time just for you:

It might even be in a dumpster along with all those Poulans I threw away this year,hehe. The Poulan guys didn't get their money back though Sap, you did. Am glad to hear your Homelite is running fine though Sap, I've tossed a few of them this year too. Sap I know you think since one saw out of millions made by Stihl cracked they must all crack. With your way of thinking its odd how their warranty ratio is over 99%. Best in the business, like it or lump it thats the facts. Over 99 out of a 100 never see a repair during the warranty period which proves your thinking to be incorrect. Will have to say this though if anyone should get a lemon you fit the bill perfect. Couldn't happen to a better type of guy. Thanks to that cracked saw you got your own fan club man, you should be delighted,haha.............

lol, I thought you said it cracked. That reminds me Sap, how did the 390 run anyway, you've never said. Any match for that 455??

Rockies, flat land, Iraq, no one likes a poser, so it's just 2 saws now? or is it 6?

Just want to know if you not only don't know what your talking about, but if you would make thing up also?

Doesn't a "warranty ratio of 99%" mean that 99% of the product needs warranty work? Bwahhahahaha!!! That sounds about right for Stihl.

I think you meant to say that they have a warranty ratio of 1%.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?

After quartering the cedar logs (with a sledge and wedges) so that they could be more easily moved, I went to work with the Timberman 45cc and Alaskan mill, cutting the quarterd logs into 2" slabs so that they could be run thru a table saw and turned into 'grape stake' fencing material. After doing one quartered log with the saw, including a pass in which the entire 18" bar was completely buried in the log, I reluctantly came to the conclusion that I was likely going to smoke the saw before I got entirely done with the job. ...

I must say that the Stihl MS390 seemed like a very nice saw, and appeared to cut well with the mill attachment, although it did seem to be a little weak on the low end, and required a little babying to get it up to speed whenever it started to bog down in a cut. This may have rectified itself after break-in, but I'll never know...

He says that it cut well.

Cracked cause he droped it! makes me think they should give a test before they sell a Stihl to just anyone?

This clear enough?

Do you own 2 saws or 6 saws? or the idea escape you that I think you may be a bald-faced lier?
