It's a McCulloch saw, 100cc, it was made by partner in Sweden, she's all metal and a torque monster. Parts are not available for this saw any more so when she wears out I will be looking for a new power head. I used this saw when I ran a landscape business and processed firewood, I've had it for better than 20 years and she's still going strong, I maintain her well. Another thing about the chain is I custom grind the angles, they come at about 10 degree and I change it to about 18 degree, it's a good compromise of speed and finish quality.
Yup, it's a gravity fed oiler, pulling a chain this long and under the stress it is under all the lube you can get is a bonus. I had to drill 2 holes in the hardened bar for the feed fitting and nut.beautiful. . what is the thing on the right hand end of the frame ? oiler ?
Yup, that's it.
Yes you are correct, the first cut is very important as each succesive cut follows the one before. The first slabbing cut is done with a pair of slabbing brackets. They are just 2 straight 2 x 4's connected with an aluminum channel with screws. It is screwed onto the log for the first cut and then removed, you can cut logs as long as the straight 2 x 4's are. I'll se if I have a pick of the slabbing brackets set up.So Greg, how do you make that first cut? I would think it is all important on the first. Wouldn't it need to to be dead straight?
I only kept 2 chunks of it for turning, all the rest I left with my friend, I just milled it for him. are you a wood worker as well?Mail me a hunk of it?
