Best tutorial I found. And made by the No. 1 manufacturer of chain and tools for the job.

[@XJonAye]

Thank you, I can't believe this is on here for free. I work on saws all the time, this would be an awesome skill to add to my price sheet

[@gilclose5137]

GOOD QUALITY TUTORIAL. INFORMATIVE & GOOD PICS, THANKS

[@antiquelude]

Very informative! I just bought two 25' spools to help speed up my chainsaw milling. Also, I think you mean eccentric, not concentric. Concentric means circles having the same center. Eccentric means it rotates around a point that is not the center.

[@marcsullivan3479]

Very well explained and helpful! Thanks very much for posting.

[@wabblewater]

I myself have learned a few good rules of thumb like the one you have. Thanks!

This is a chain for homeowner saws, and as a homeowner in the Southeast who doesn't really count wood by the cord kzbin.infoUgkxbs4FIpzuLyOJe2SesfbtvXi1CTnUXroD I have this (or 20BPX) on several saws at different levels of smallness. I've never felt that the safety chain is holding me back. I buy multiple chains, and when the installed one doesn't feel grabby enough, I file it, then throw it in a cup of gasoline while I rotate to the next one. I have yet to file one down to the wear lines, so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth, and I'm happy about this new 3-pack - although, at this rate, it's going to be awhile before I buy another. I don't know why I would try anything else.

Excellent video 👍👍

[@Machinereplica]

Great video, I feel ready to break and mend saw chain now.

Hey Thanks for sharing Glenn!

[@bettyosborne2896]

Love this,I totally get it,Subscribing now!! ❤️ thanks a million,All this time,I now have the missing link 😆 🤣

[@brandongouge]

Man, I’ve certainly spun my share of joints in my day! 😂

[@JoeNathan42420]

Lmao same bro. Best comment I've saw in a while 😂

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

Superb.

[@shawndoe2834]

At 3:10 why does he have to flip his reel of chain over? Thanks for Anyone Who Can Answer This: Shawn

[@ianb9028]

I can never get the rivets to separate i have to grind these and even then have difficulty getting the rivets to punch out without bending the chain.

[@sireliot2149]

So, what about the sticker indicating to apply oil to the rivets?

[@dan_6915]

I haven't seen that, but i was thinking that it should be greased to prevent twisting of the rivet.

[@smartass6071]

I don't think that was for the rivet but for the spinner tool.

[@ionmarius6652]

Hi friend i have a chain for 40 cm bar and i want to convert it into 35 cm chain , can that be possible? is a stihl original chain, please reply me ! thanks

[@ryanpaul5604]

Yes that would be fine, just pop the rivets out and keep the drive link number you need.

[@hndgosip3295]

Can i buy online oregon produkt

[@josephthompson4615]

eccentric not concentric cams to hold and adjust the chain

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

those tie straps, did you purchase or use the ones you popped out?

[@BJSmith-ll3uw]

Watch the end of the video

@Maciej Jan Długosz His comment is most likely a Liability Disclaimer and Lawsuit prevention ploy. It also helps sell more merchandise.

[@africantwin173]

In europe those rivets , parts are very very pricey if you can find them. Even small chains cost 42 usd.

[@adtube4186]

maybe you should leave Europe and go back to africa then

[@JPXX25]

@@adtube4186 lol

[@beetooex]

And this is why no young people want to work in forestry now.

[@UpInSmoke54]

@Maciej_Jan_Dlugosz How can you reuse rivets?

[@sivaprakasam4688]

Sir indian importer number pls

[@jamesgeorgevellavella1961]

obviously I asked 2 min before you said it lol

[@Drottninggatan2017]

There exist a special handheld tool that breaks, conditions and rivets back the old parts. No new rivets needed.

[@dustyfarmer]

There is a special part of the chainsaw that catches chains that break a link if your leg doesn't first. Why risk life & limb on a $1 part like a new joining link?

[@dustyfarmer]

@Maciej_Jan_Dlugosz It's about being a fool & tightarse. No sensible person re-uses rivets after they have been bent & punched out of a chain. You can.

[@dustyfarmer]

@Maciej_Jan_Dlugosz Studied books eh, You are an educated idiot then if you don't understand that you lose a the portion of the mushroomed pin when you push them out as well as bending the link. What you don't know, you don't know and are too silly to learn from industry professionals who obviously know alot more than you.

[@tommybreedlove4178]

Camera angle not good while spinning and not close enough to see what the heck you are doing.

[@jemfly1062]

Dreadful photography. Most of the time it's very difficult (and sometimes impossible) to see the precise details being explained ... too much concentration on the presenter's face, (which, despite his rugged good looks, is irrelevant to the necessary information). The informative nature of the words is not reinforced by the video - the poor camera angles, lack of focus on details, obscured parts etc detract significantly from the presentation. If I were a novice looking at this, I fear that I would be more confused than informed.

[@rwmcmullin]

@jem fly, although your comment is a couple years old, it requires an opposing response. I'm not sure which video you watched, but the video I watched (this video) provided me (a novice) with exactly the information I needed to do the job - start to finish (read here: I SAW every detail you thought was missing). It demonstrated: proper technique, cross checks while exectuting, and final inspection after completion. Additionally, it provided best practices throughout the process including addressing parts reusage. I would suggest that people who cannot perform the tasks demonstrated in this video with no other guidance simply should not ever use a chainsaw; and therefore, the work demonstrated in this video would/should have no relevance...

[@rwmcmullin]

@Maciej Jan Długosz Oh stop, if you're unable to compare your work to the adjacent manufacturers installed rivets and recognize when something doesn't look right and should be redone, you should probably stay away from tools and mechanical things in general. This isn't rocket science...

[@rwmcmullin]

@Maciej Jan Długosz Nevertheless, none of what you said replaces a close visual inspection of your work to verify you got it right. More importantly, while you can reuse rivets why would you when they're dirt cheap? That doesn't make sense for a number of reasons not the least of which most all manufactures tell you to use new rivets. And to your point about "some chains have TOO HARD rivets," that isn't the case with Oregon chains or most chains for that matter. Put another way, the exception never defines the rule. Of course you must always control what you're doing - basic mechanical skills gives you that. This video wasn't intended as an "A to Z" howto covering every possible scenario in chain make up, so why critique as though it were...?

[@schattenmygirl]

@Maciej Jan Długosz BUTT if they are from the same chain going into the same chain.. I kind of agree with the both of you and do think it would be a good thing for the beginner to be aware of the downside of a bad JOINT.
