I'm thinking of importing (from the US) a decent length bar for the ol 090. Can anyone comment on the Woodsman Pro bars? Seeing as these are an unknown in the UK. Looking for a 4-5foot bar, anyone got a good secondhand I can make a deal on? Must run .404 chain. :D

the old 090 and 660, sweet!!

I made my aux oiler up out of an old lawn mower fuel tank, a length of pipe and let good old gravity do its work. Simple and efficient. Dunno what they cost in $$$'s there, but £40 over here!! :(

Yeah, but mine is an old 090, manual oil button, on the right hand side of the handle, so its a pig to operate when milling, hence the oiler feeding the chain.

I didnt think to time it Carl, but now you've raised it I'm gonna have to see. I know it seemed to cut like a knife thru butter tho, but it is Thuja, I just wanted to see how it all ran.

090 update Ok, so finally got the old girl fitted up with a Alaskan mill, made up an auto-oiler mounted on the mill, (as she is manual oiler), and been out milling, checking it out for glitches. Back home, had to fit a shear pin into the oiler hole I drilled on the tip-end, to control direction...

just seen an 090G for $2195!!! on ebay, jeez they make some money out there!

When I tried the Stihl Rollamatic bar, the oil hole was nowhere near the oil feed, I did consider drilling it out, but was wary of doing so, (not the best mechanic on the block) so returned it and swapped for the Oregon Lasertip. Set the tacho on it today, she was revving at 6250rpm, now set to...

thats right, the 090 bar will fit the 088 et al, as the mounting holes nearest the sprocket are correct, but an 088 bar doesnt have the forward holes, or oiling holes forward either.

cheers for that Al, I'll get it tachoed tomorrow sometime, just to double check everything is set right.

Thinking about the 066, Tim hit some copper when cutting off the top chunk off the stump, we'd re-sharpened the saw, but the 090 was cutting a curve with a perfectly straight bar and brand new chain?!? I even double-checked the bar today when I stripped it down to make sure I hadnt bent it somehow.

Brand new bar and chain, however I think once the files been run over it a couple of times it'll be better.

Spitting chips with the 066

Hmmm any ideas whether there are similarities between the 090 Stihls and the other makes, for bars to match up? Big (old) saws over here seem to be few and far between these days

dunno I dont intend to try!!

just a bit annoyed with Stihl, they no longer sell bars (in the UK anyway) for this saw, yet still sent an 088 bar, wtf. The Oregon bar cost £88+vat, a 4foot bar comes in at £235+vat!! Oh well 3foot it'll have to be for now!

Ok after much delay and hassle finding the right bar,(Stihl sent out an 088 bar in error) here she is with a 36" lasertip. Run up and raring to go, got a Beech takedown tomorrow, where she'll be a back up for the 066 & then the Alaskan Mill is on order.

Haha the milling thing is gonna be a hobby/dem sorta thing, not an everyday thing. Hear what your sayig tho. Hats off to those who've worked a full day with one off these saws! Thanks for the pics of the G model, just wanted to clear that up.
