Stihl 2n1

dall Where does one get one of those "homelite vices"?

 

Homelite410 makes them and also i think definitive dave sells them in his store

 

they make it nice even with the small vise i use to hold it on my bench it wont move and holds the chain nice and straight

 

Thanks dall

 

Great idea. It’s easy to over do it when your on your strong side. I have had great results with the 2n1. My local sharpener guy butchered the last chains I took him. I haven’t been back since I bought the 2n1

Best get that 066 off the floor and show it some love

 

lol its on the shelf now others have taken its place on the floor a 290 is there at the moment

 

I originally said 046, but the top cover screws said 066

 

lol that saw is in wisconsin now

 

That’s a great idea. Thanks!

dall a Homelite vice would be great. Maybe for my birthday in April. I didn’t think he was still selling them. I will speak to the minister of finance

 

I looked at definitive dave web site and didn't see one for sale.

 

I ain't got your kind of money........... I do get the chain extra tight and set the brake as a go along.

 

i do that in the field if im doing round
hows you slacker

 

Chilling with the kids watching movies. It rained today so no playing outside

What are you up to?

 

just got home from building a little project

 

I finally got around to using the saw for more than a test cut. I used the 261 with an older simi chisel that I sharpened with the 2n1 and I was more than satisfied. I was in shag bark and white oak and it cut perfectly. I'll be buying a 2n1 for 3/8s next time I'm at Ace.

 

lol i have all 4 sizes 3 of the stihl branded and the one pferd for 3/8

 

Good catch, you were correct on the rakers being low. The chain I pictured was on a used saw I bought and used it to try the 2n1. I used the chain in the picture in oak for about a tank of gas and it cut straight and re-sharpened. All the rakers on one side were low and the file only touched a few of them while hitting all on the other side. The second time out it cut better.
