I'm so sorry I offended you by using a rear handled saw. You're absolutely right. I will throw them in the trash tomorrow morning. What was I thinking! I'm an awful person. I will hang my head in shame over the guilt I feel after unknowingly using a inferior tool that is of the rear handled...

Any where an awesome light saw can be used ? Trimming, pruning and generally cutting small stuff? Orchard work? Carving turkey? Surgery? You're not going to get precise cuts that are any better than what you can achieve with this saw. There's much more control with a real handle vs. the...

When Working hours upon hours full time with a saw why wouldn't I want an extremely light fast cutting saw? I can carve all day long and my wrists and shoulder have no fatigue at all. A top handle saw is senseless for work on the ground when you have two hands available.

Ms150's be multiplying. Now I have one with a 8", 10", and 12" bar. :headbang: I picked up a third yesterday so I can practice juggling them.

The rear handles are also very easy to use one handed...you get a nice extended reach.

If youre wearing out nose sprockets just install a more durable bar. You're wrist may get a little sore with the top handle version 150 though:)

No oiling problems on mine Edit....I forgot early on I had to replace an oil line because it completely stopped oiling.

Ms150's and 536lixp's are both awesome little saws. I don't care for the 536 at all with the 3/8 chain. All mine run the mini 1/4". Nowadays I use the battery saws more often than the 150's. Just so easy ...pick it up and pull the trigger. My sore shoulder thanks me. ...the 150 is a couple...

Crap! I thinks I had things backwards. I've been filing teeth with flat files and rakers with round!

I use file guides to keep the file elevated so it doesn't start digging too low on the tooth. That's my #1 reason for a guide. Guys are full of BS if they claim they can file these 1/4" .043 chains with a file only....and still keep the file elevated once you're past about half the tooth life...

I have a pferd for 3/8 chain....but it doesn't look like there is a pferd version of the 1/4"' .043.

No problem. Part number for ordering from a Stihl dealer is 5605 750 4306 I snagged the only one that was on eBay:)

Just wanted to post this for whoever has a bit of difficulty sharpening these tiny 1/4" .043 chains. I find them a bit of a bugger to get just right. I just found that stihl makes a 2 in 1 file specifically for these chains....just found one on eBay and ordered it. Should help keep angles...

Stihl makes a file guide specifically for the tiny files that are used on this mini 1/4" chain. I definitely get these little teeth sharpest when I use the guide. Without the guide it's very easy for the file to dig too low on the tooth and create a big hook that cuts like crap. I have 8...

This is what happens to a 150 if you use it heavily almost every day for 10 months, and never take things apart to clean:)

Yup they do oil heavily. I wish the oilers were adjustable . But I use canola oil ....which is quite abit thinner than regular bar oil. an adjustable oiler would mean extra weight on the saw....it looks like stihl did everything they could to keep this saw as light/small as possible. I don't...

Thanks:)...those are some Sassafrass tiki dudes I made a few years ago.

Hey Bud:)...whassup! That big Yeti XL looks like a sloppy expensive mess. Axial stuff is all junk unless you replace every little bit with after market stuff:)....my Wraith has almost zero original parts. .......the rest of these guys have no clue what were talking about:P

Thanks:). It's actually quite necessary to run these narrow nosed carving bars with the chain sagging a bit.....otherwise the tip will burn up and the chain will seize up on the bar. Everything lasts longer and the chain stays on the bar just fine once the saw is buzzing. I've been at this...

Here's a few small carvings that i used the little ms150 for. The little red cedar bear and owl were made completely with the 150's(except for sanders/die grinders). The wolf carving i did earlier today and is made from red oak......the first few cuts were with a bigger saw, but about 90% of...
