CS-590 replacement chain recommendations

[Deleted member 149229]

I’ll have to just eyeball the pic and compare it to a 590 bar, just to see. I haven’t gone out to the shed but the Archer bar and the TsuMura bar appear to have the oil hole in the same location.

If it oils threw the bar adjuster hole it will drown the bar in oil. My 490 runs an old 2300 poulan bar and oils threw the bar adjuster it will run out of bar oil way before mix if you dont turn the oiler way down.

I always prefer more oil over less. I hate burning chains in a cut.

I actually just ordered a new oregon powermatch bar and a few 70dl lgx chains prior to hearing about this TsuMura 72dl bar..

I'm probably returning the Oregon bar/chains, and going to order up that TsuMura so I can run locally available stihl 72dl yellow chain...

Man, this place is already costing me and I literally just joined..

Speaking of, is oiling a bar through the bar adjustment any issue other than having to adjust the oiling system up or down?

Big mess, less effective etc??

Just wait, it’ll get worse. I joined and owned just 1 saw.

As long as the oil is going down the bar to prevent excessive heat don’t sweat it.

Some bars dont have oil access through the adjuster. It depends on the model. But some are designed to oil through the adjuster.

I've got a CS-590 that I got for pretty cheap. Looking for chain recommendations. I cut a small amount for firewood during the winter and while camping. Looking at the Oregon PowerCut 72LPX070G chain right now, any better options?

I can make loops of whatever drivers ya need ... STIHL RS chain ... it’s very durable and the metal/chrome used is far superior to the others ...

I've been running Husqvarna large mount bars on my CS-590 and CS-600P. Very slight modifications to the oil supply hole is all that is needed, no issues to date.

I also prefer the Semi-chisel chain to full chisel. The slight loss in cutting performance is made up for in much longer cutting performance in dirty material without sharpening. Most of what we cut here are tops left over from logging operations, and some logs that have been skidded around some, so plenty of dirt in the bark to deal with. We are also left with hundreds of dead Ash trees, and were leaving them in place treating them like "standing firewood".

However, they are starting to drop limbs and come down due to excessive rainfall we've had this year, so we've decided to take all of them down so at least we'll know when they are going to hit the ground. I'll also add here that they are prone to "barber chair", so recommend extreme caution when dealing with them, especially if they are leaning some.........Cliff

Did someone say ash and barber chair ? Lol

Got in my oregon powermatch bar, and a few 70dl lgx chains but decided to send them back.. I think I'd be happier with the 72..

The TsuMura L&T mentioned above is on order..

Will update when it arrives..

 

[Ginger15]

Be sure to take a photo once you get it all together.

Price up the Blount offerings price wise against Stihl if the difference isn't to great I'd go for a 70dl Stihl Semi chisel chain of correct pitch/gauge possibly more difficult to sharpen but longer periods between sharpening s of late have found some Blount offerings inconsistent quality wise

 

[Gigantor24]

TsuMura bar arrived and is perfect on the cs-590..


It's a good inch+ longer to accomidate the 72 DL and fits perfect. Oil hole lines up absolutely perfect..

Picked up a few Stihl yellow chains and I'm good to go..

Give me a day or 2 and ill post up some good pictures.

Anyone on the fence, do it!!
