After seeing all sorts of sharpenings on used chainsaws, I began to wonder about my own? I knew I wasn't perfect but was getting by. I started...
Personally never had a chain jump off but maybe my turn is coming? But with the many used saws I have acquired, they have all had the chain jump...
The bar is toast - get a new one
That's good too. Did you file it or was it done on a grinder? If on a grinder like a Oregon 511A, what were your angles?
That's better
I don't have any use for that low profile .325 either. I tried to give all my accumulations of Low Profile to Carbine All my .325 is Stihl Rm & RS...

Cut4fun had a Easy Start at his house. I wasn't aware of their characteristics. I have some MS 250/025's and they are hard enough to pull. So I...
I'm the one who has these three saws. I can assure you they all run just like the video in the first post. They have all been muffler modded and...
Working with granite is hard on equipment. There's a lot of difference in a 4000 hr tractor that's been working with rock and one that's been...
Some good advice above. $649 is double the market median. Look for another saw. The 036 & 360 Pro are classics of all time on my list. But...
I had a 1974 Homelite XL150 Auto as my only saw for 24 years. The saw itself always ran and never broke down. But it sure would make my hands...
