Who greases their bar tips???

[DGG]

I periodically, not religiously, grease the tip when I grease the sprocket needle bearings. I sling enough bar oil (set to the max) that I don't seem to be doing any harm. I think that if you use a sharp chain you keep the dust to a minimum and things don't cruded up so quickly.

The bars I originally greased, before I quit a couple of years ago, are just fine........

I think he meant boar cut.....as in a tenderloin or pork chop!:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

I guess you could grease your tip with a pork chop. I think I'll stick with the KY.

I used to but I quit I agree it holds more grit in there with grease

6 pages on whether or not to grease your bar tip.

I can't see how you guy's reckon the bar oil lube's the bearing.
I see it that the bearing would throw it off, not take it in.
And grit, what you cutting?
Wood acts as a bearing rather than an abrasive.
If there is any chance of grit getting in, pumping grease in there should help keep it out.
Lube up I reckon.

Maybe if this old rule was followed............

Who all brushes their teeth? That's what I want to know. I hear tooth paste can cause you to get grits stuck in your teeth, but if you get a healthy dose of beer, it'll wash it all out anyway.

Seriously, I quit greasing a couple of years back - no ill effects so far......:rockn:

Honest, it was only 6 when I posted.
To grease, or not to grease. That is the question.
