Default Re: Echo CS-306 ? carving bar

Baileys is where I get most of my stuff, I converted all my saws to the rim and drum drive I think they run smoother and you can change chain pitch by just changing the rim sprocket, the rims last a long time.

If you get a quarter tip bar you can run 3/8 pitch chain on it and avoid changing any of the drive.

If you have never used a chainsaw a carving bar will reduce the kickback zone dramatically making it a lot safer.

you need a 1/4"pitch chain and sprocket
and 1/4 or a dime tip carving bar, to give you the results I think you are looking for.
You can get it all in one package at that site.[/quote]


This info comes from my husband...he was reading posts with me this morning and he works at Baileys. Just so you know, it's not just "girl" advice
*Don't throw rocks at me women carvers...You know I'm only kidding!!!*

Many thanks Keoma,
Yes all women are beautiful but Baileys are a continent away from me, however I have looked at their site and am getting a friend in Sacremento to buy the articles for me. I will post my progress, but it will be some time as I am moving house and home.
Regards
Louis
