Has anyone used one of these?

If you know how to do something, share it with other members. i.e How to fix a puncture...How to ship a bike to Alaska etc. The post with the most 'Thank You' votes in a month wins an ABR Hoodie.

But despite that, I've decided to ignore all your excellent advice, buy four of them and to teach myself angle-grinder juggling.
It can't be that hard.

Is it not a bit more sophisticated than that with special saws rather than just a bar change.
I've always fancied a go after watching the pros do it at forrestry shows when I worked in the industry but thought my saws were not suitable.

I have used one and lived to tell the tale, roughed out this meditation bench for her in doors with the chainsaw then used the carving wheel for shaping. Very keen piece if kit, I bought the knobbly wood grinding wheel type at the same time but not used it yet.

Take care

Not really, obviously the weight of your saw & the power output will have an effect, as you won't need the grunt of something remotely powerful. Carving bars are designed in a way they taper towards the tip, they don't tend to kick. I have an MS200 that I occasionally use for carving, that's about as powerful as you really want to go. You may need to change the pitch of your chain but that's more the bar than saw.


To put it into forum context, you can wizz bang a trail on a KTM 1290 Super Adventure but if you're restricted to a 10mph speed limit a Serow is a much better option for weight & handling
With enough profanity, you can accomplish anything
