the all aussie dribble thread!

thats where the old 07, 08 and S10 shine.. use 404 and rev slower.. never burn the chain out

 

[peter92]

It sure would but I'm already running 3/8th on my 029 which is a step up from the .325 and it runs fine and 3/8th on my 461....if I go to 404 I reckon I'm going to have to buy a bigger saw and bar to match....that'll give me the excuse to get the 661 I am drooling over I spose.....

PS. The Oracle and I are looking to move to Briag....

every one wants a 661

I have a speed sharp star
I know a couple of others have the same.
I tried a cheaper one and gave it away and bought a more robust one that flex's less and clamps more securely, and releases and clamps quickly

Looking at buying a electric chain sharpener but not sure what to buy, I know theres crap out there and knowing my luck, thats what would happen
What do other people use

Tecomec make the speed sharp, Oregon and jolly sharpeners. All very similar or the same in many instances

You might find that 404 chain lasts longer in the rough chippy.

I have a 25" bar running 404 Stihl RSC on my 066 Magnum, and it eats ironbark like its pine
A lot of people bag 404 as being slower in the cut than 3/8 but in the bush in dirty bark clad hard timber, it just goes and goes and goes.

Tough stuff!

yes perhaps, thats the trouble up here, took my chains to 2 shops up here, bloody useless @ $18 a hit
so now thinking of sharpening my own chain
now lets see, new sharpener, how many chains can i stuff up before i do it right

ORACLE.....Lol, yer cruisin for a bruisin buddy !

Pete, $18/chain is thievery, work on the hand filing, cheapest/quickest/done anywhere - and I do better if I put the glasses on

 

[KiwiBro]

Is GB evo-II chain worth a punt?
I gather it's Chinese and the Chinese evo-I was a bit hit and miss, but how about the II variety?

The Oracle is fitting. She has a PhD. Pretty smart too.
