Wore out bar wanted!

[sawinredneck]

I followed some advice given to me, and used a wore out bar in .050 .325 and welded a piece of angle iron on it to clamp to the bench to file with. I works very well!!!
Problem, all of my 3/8's bars are too nice/new and I don't want to do this to them!!! Anybody have a wore out 3/8" .063 bar, 16"-20" preffered but I can cut it down, that they would be willing to pack and ship? I am more than happy to pay shipping/time. Any takers? I know most run .050, but all I can do is ask!
Thanks,
Andy

Fine then, ruin all of my fun!!
I finally start a thread, and it's not "which saw is better........" or "What saw should I buy............" or "I bought this saw, but I am scared and having buyers remorse and think I should have bought a better one so which one is better........" Thread, and you have to shut it down on the second post!!!

If neither of you have a bar, I think I may have an old 18" .063 from my 260, somewhere is the shop . . . although it's been slow and the crew cleaned up my space, so now I can't find anything!!!

Just let the bars sit on the saw when you file - tighten the chains a bit more than for cutting.........

This is for fileing chains at home, I have done the touch ups in the feild as you describe, but I have eight chains for my 350/346 combo, eight chains for my 046 and four chains for my 192t. I am not interested in putting each one on the saw for a finish touch up!

I have a worn out .63 bar but you can't have it cause it works better than any new bar I have.


You could buy an ell cheapo forest champ closeout bar from bailys if you are placing an order with them sometime soon.

opcorn:

I like a 50/50 mix of used motor oil and used anitfreeze. I try and do my part when it comes to recycling, and that blend, when shaken, seems to oil well, and cool things nicely.

I hear better things about Astrogliude, but what do I know

hey, when you're sharpening those chains what brand do you use?
Which brand is best . . . Oregon, Stihl, or Lazar?
And what type full chisel or semi?
Also what's the best brand of bar?

Vaseline...............with a little sand in it used to be the "lubricant" of choice!!!

Switchin to KY became "painfully" obvious!!!

I don't care if it's free!

Stihl!!!

Usually semi, I cut a lot of dirty wood though, but am finding it's easier to sharpen full, is that just me?

Stihl!!!
