Chainsaw Pics...

Cool saw Amazon has the 2 large OEM mounts, but not the small OEM ones. I bought the 2 OEM's and the rest are cheap aftermarket also from Amazon. I was in a rush to get the saw back up and running so out of impatience I'll try them. As you know it's not too hard to disconnect the tank and swap them out. Another member recommended Proline brand from Sawzilla, which are NOT made in China. I ordered a set from there too to have if/when the Amazon ones fail.
EDIT: Fleabay has OEM ones but they don't come cheap

 

Just about through my first chain of the season. Cooler air feels great. I'm just using my M18 saw to cut stacked up logs to length before splitting.

Am I the only one who just uses an angle grinder on rakers? It is so not worth the trouble to use a file on them.

Just about hit the halfway mark today on putting away this winter's wood. I split and stack in september and by december everything is dry. Was testing some ash splits today and showing 17%. IDK why, but everything seasons super quick for me here.

 

Baltic abrasives makes a cbn raker wheel, I sharpen all my chains first, then swap to the raker wheel.

A pic from a year or so ago,, some have sold others have arrived,,, usually buy dead ones. Thats only most of them

 

NOT my pic..

 

What in the heck is that?

 

Stihl's latest addition.......

 

Looks like it has some form of that barracuda chain

 

Looks like a hard hat with an engine in it. Lol

 

I thought that to…looks fake like AI artwork

 

Probably so. You cant believe anything you see or hear anymore.

 

Yes, it's evidently AI's idea of a chainsaw....

 

That's exactly what I thought.

 

The whole thing looks weird but the chain is a dead giveaway of AI. If you look at AI generated people it looks kinda off/almost real until you look at the details. The fingers and hands, too many or not enough fingers or angles that your wrist would be broken. It would also help if people didn’t believe everything they saw on the internet.

 

Vids...

Early 70's Remington mighty mite. 34cc. 16" aggressive semi chisel. The lil saw that could.

I jamed up chain between these vids from not pumping the auxiliary oil lever enough.

There's a reason some smart guy laid awake all night thinking up things like automatic oilers and ant-vibe handles...

Nice gloves... I opted for the Carpel Tunnel surgery myself...
