I’ve seen it many times. Think about as the fiber separates the height of the stumpshot, all the weight goes down on vertical fibers. Shows up more on a backleaner situation.
@ForestAppsАй бұрын
Also consider the tapering of the fiber between the height of the notch and the height of the stump Shot

Great video, loved the music, great tribute! When I go that far on a clean up I'll go ahead and pop the e clip on the clutch and wash the the needle bearing with brake clean spray and reassemble with a dab of grease, the cleaning can leave water and grit in there. I follow that with a start and good warm up to help it dry. Thanks for posting the vid!

Even saws need a little tender lovin care. My wife went to the saw shop to get my saw and out of the 10 or 15 saws on the floor she automatically knew which one was mine. She told the front desk lady in her strong Cajun accent …. ”Cher, I know which ones my husband’s saw. He would never bring in a saw lookin like those over there”.

Who makes the better saw husky or stihl
@ForestAppsАй бұрын
I’ve got both. I think the biggest consideration is the dealer you have close to you. Both Stihl and Husqvarna sell thousands of saws. It’s a Ford or Chevy question. The factor that makes them good or bad is the person on the handles and their local service dealer.
@krskog2 ай бұрын
To thick hinge, and probably been cutting it from straight backwards. Best solution here is to stick the saw in behind the hinge, and finish the hinge with correct thickness before you start the main cut. When correct thickness on the edge is achieved, then you finish the main cut cutting from hinge and bakwards. In scandinavia its called the storm-cut. Safe with no barberchair. Some species have stiffer fibers than other, and the thickness of the hinge is more important. Greetings from Norway :D

One of the little saws I have; has an .043 3/8lp. The one I'm comparing it to has an .050 3/8lp. My question is; are the cutters the same size, and do they take the same size file? I just got back into chainsaws. In my younger years; I ran Stihl 051, 075, and 090; with 30", and 42", and 60" respectively. But now; at 70; 0:02 I'm getting back into chainsaws; but battery operated. I have a few mini saws, a 10", 12", and 14" Greenworks, and two EGO 18", and one EGO 24"! I have loads of fun with them. I can eyeball the size of a file that LOOKS to be correct; but I was just wondering about the cutter size between the two gauge sizes. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
@ForestApps2 ай бұрын
If you will send me a picture of the two chains I can tell you exact. I think both of those will be 5/32 file diameter.
@John-cj3ve2 ай бұрын
I'm not really understanding file size. I'm pretty sure that the cutters aren't the same size for a 3/8 .043, and a 3/8 .050. Am I wrong? Would you use the same size file for both chains? And yes; I do know what the various numbers mean. It just seems like the cutters are bigger on my .050 chains; compared to the .043.
@ForestApps2 ай бұрын
.050 and .043 is the gauge of the drive link that matches the guide bar rail. The 3/8 is the pitch that matches sprockets. The are different size or profiles of teeth. Low profile 3/8 or one manufacturer calls Pico, is usually 5/32 or 9/64 file. Other 3/8 are 11/64 or 7/32. If you know the manufacture of the chain you can look up correct sizes on their website. If you would like I can set up a Zoom meeting and show you what you need if you have your saw and saw chain.
@John-cj3ve2 ай бұрын
@ForestApps Thanks; I thought so! I have switched out the chains on all my saws to full chisel; and the replacements are from different vendors; so that would explain it. Fingers crossed; I haven't run into any trees yet with nails or screws in them. I do a pretty good job of freehand filing; so I'm not too worried about it.

He has a lot of experience and the hinge length was 80% of the diameter but C he was concerned about the objects around and thought he would leave a little thicker hinge. That particular plan didn’t work very well. Lucky he bored it and didn’t cut from the back. He would have been close to the action. Very straight and easy splitting fiber.

You will almost NEVER lose a backleaner tree backwards if you make the backcut first and set your wedge, because it is next to impossible to make that cut last and try to get a wedge into the kerf since the tree has now setback on your bar...
@ForestApps2 ай бұрын
Put the wedge in the kerf before the tree sits back. What would happen if you do the back cut and then making a notch the fiber is compromised?
@user-ge2to1me7f2 ай бұрын
In the UK we often bore / “letterbox” the middle of the tree from the face cut before setting the hinge. It reduced the chance of barber chair, it prevent fibre pull, it makes rolling out easier in the event of hang up, and it allows the use of a shorter bar - it is common to be felling trees that are more than twice bar length.

Sounds like a bunch of marketing crap. If a saw is constantly updating itself several times a second like they claim, you’d never have any need to idle one for 5 1/2 minutes and do a light rip cut in order to set itself. So which is it? Is it making constant adjustments? In which case you should just be able to give it the standard warm up and start making cuts. Or do you need to go through some stupid procedures every time the temperature changes? 🤦🏻♂️
@ForestApps3 ай бұрын
Once it’s calibrated by the Dealer or Operator - one time- it’s handling the task automatically. But it can change with fuel, elevation, bar length changes etc. They don’t, and you don’t, have a lot of choice in the matter. They have to comply with 2Stroke EPA standards. That’s why the Battery Saws are being pushed. If you know the simple calibration process it’s not an issue but though and not a lot to deal with it’s pretty automatic. Stihl’s M Tronic is similar situation.
