Chainsaw issues...
In an effort to eke a bit more life out of my chains on my cheapo lidl chainsaw I bought myself a Stihl 2in1 sharpener. I think either Ive cocked up the sharpening or theres another problem. If Im cutting with heel of the chain closest to the motor or with the tip of the blade if produces good size shavings. Cutting with the centre of the bar starts off okay but when Im sawing logs the blade seems to stop cutting and just produces fine sawdust. Moving the chainsaw in and out to use the heel and the nose enables me to carry on cutting but obviously its not right. As an aside, Ive never been convinced that the blade oiler is doing a good enough job. Theres never been any oil splatter when revved and held vertically over a piece of paper. The pump is pumping out oil though. I can see it if I run the engine without the chain but the chain and bar get very hot in use. Could the bar be worn or in some way affecting the way the chain is cutting? Tim -- Please don't feed the trolls |
