A hooked blade in a multi tool might work well. Assuming of course you have access to such a tool.

The type you refer is called a top handle but it is not a “single handed” saw. It has two handles which should be used as much as possible. It’s designed for close quarter use when climbing and not for any other use, certainly not felling for example. In a kickback situation you will have very...

Similar to Kev, have a new one in the mitre saw. As good as a Freud, nice shiny cut surfaces but will it last as long as a Freud? Not sure.

Kev, don't forget to come back to us in March 2025........

Thanks Gasman, good to learn from somebody at the coal face. Interesting topic. Enjoy your retiremen.

Pipe clamps are easy to get, especially the Pony Jorgensen brand which are good. Threaded pipe available too. EBay, Amazon etc. Sometimes advertised as “Pipe Sash Clamps”. Well worth getting some, much easier and better than traditional sash/bar clamps.

That was the Scheppach of 15 yrs ago….. A different Scheppach. May still suit some so perhaps worth looking at.

Amazon Germany has become very popular in Ireland, much easier than Amazon UK and there’s a fulfilment centre in Baldonnell. For me drills, drivers, impacts, SDS and circ saws are cordless. See little point in buying corded tools other than large or stationary items.

Bahco Barracuda, a tenner or so. Better handle, more comfy than the basic Bahco, thicker steel for the blade. For two quid more they do a Superior, nice black Teflon-ish coating and no rusting.

Do use a little light machine oil if using some type of abrasive. The oil makes it easier but more importantly suspends any debris or iron particles lifted from the surface. As said, finish with white spirit and a protective coating.

Good to hear. Better price/availability (despite hassle) from UK than in Italy?

No problem Kev, check your PMs.

If no details on the bar you can measure the chain yourself 18 on the drive tooth usually means .404 pitch, .080 gauge but double check that. First length of chain- count the number of drive teeth that run on the bar slot. Next measure the distance between 3 rivets and divide x 2, this will give...

Where would we be without maps?

All this spy balloon nonsense is getting a bit overblown. More important issues such as inflation should get more air time.

Hi B8, welcome to the forum. FYI this thread was last seen alive around 18 yrs ago. I’m sure there’s more recent discussions on the topic on the appropriate board where I’m sure your knowledge would be welcome.
