If you use pure canola oil with no anti oxidants added, you'll have to clean it out when you store your saws for longer periods or it'll gum up.

Iuse one all the time when logging mature hardwoods. I'll just make a shallow cut 4" from the end of a big log across the grain and hammer the Stump vise into that.

Nice, Gary. It never crossed my mind to make it portable.

All the time. I just plug it into one of the electrical outlets that grow on trees in the forests in my part of the world.

Don't forget, I lived in the PNW for some time in my formative years. It keeps popping up at the most unexpected places. Much like the LSD I had fun with back in the days! Willie, that is LOW for you. Looks like you turned catholic, too.

Notice the stump height? About 2 inches off the ground in the lowest side. That's a Eurologger stump, buddy:D

Proof:

And a 60 inch for those special occasions!

.063 is all I run as well. And for what it is worth, Al, I run 3/8 on the 880, just like I did on the 084 I had before. Wouldn't know where to find a roll of .404 around here.

Yep!

With all the effort you guys put into sharpening, have you ever tried putting the chain on the bar backwards? It sure keeps that fine edge, you've laboured over, much longer that way.

Also there is a thing known as kick-back. I enforce the use of rakerguides. Have done so ever since I someone sent a saw up to me with the rakers filed way down. Trying to run a beast like that in a tree is suicide.

Those two guys in front of the tree don't look very big compared to the tree. More like a pair of midgets in fact.

That is a new one to me. When sharpening HSS turning tools, the same burr will rise on top of the edge. Once the edge hits the rotating wood, it is knocked clean off. I think the same happens with a saw chain.

I turn my own handles. If shipping wasn't so frigging expensive it would be fun to turn a bunch and do a treehouse giveaway. But they'd end up costing a lot more than a store bought handle.

Oh, the arborists on this site are very polite. It is the damned loggers that are a nasty bunch!

You have said that you use chains untill they only cuts about 90%, then change them. But the above sounds like you'll put a brand new, never sharpened chain to use. A chain straight off the roll cuts with less than 90% of one that has been sharpened right IMO.

Winch, you have to realize that the members here are all different kinds of critters. The city arborists get by with chains that would starve the professional timberfallers. And before the shitstorm hits me, I did not say that city arborists can't file a chain. But in my experience, not many...

Nice, but the price is outrageous!

I thought square grind was designed primarily for cutting those tough fibered conifers of the PNW. Am I mistaken here?
