No, I've never run a Partner. I meant my Orange kids Stig. I've never run the saws of yesterday. I don't even chime in on those conversations because I know nothing really about them. I've heard stories of old Jonny saws, and talk of old Pioneers that were the saw to have in my area way back...
Elux saws are NOT junk Stig. I can't speak for the quality of yesterdays saws, as I was too young to know about that. They sound impressive. I make my living with a pile of Husqvarna saws, and Stihl saws as well. There is no doubt my Husqvarnas are well built, strong, reliable machines. Truth be...
A cat skinner!
Here in my area, mechanized logging operations are tough on the small, manual logging outfits. The mill wants their wood, and wants the operations who can get it to them quickly.
I want to ammend and clarify what I am saying. If a man chooses to bore cut everything, great. But to walk around the woods or residential setting thinking that an open face notch and bore cut are the only way to go, is absurd. That's what I get from GOL folks. Any GOL believer I've worked...
Stig doesn't replace bar tips often if I remember correctly.
Either way, unless you are cutting veneer, or heavy leaners, there's no merit to bore cutting everything. Some guys are so accustomed to it that it is their method of choice, but that's a matter of habit, not necessity.
Why bore cut every tree? Falling hardwoods for lumber purposes, I understand. Aside from that, what's the point. Not counting trees prone to split or with a head lean.
I dont like the "one cut fits all" mentality that I've seen so many guys come away from GOL with. Not knocking the course, or his wisdom. But I can easily sniff out a GOL veteran pretty quick in the woods.
