[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1740145, member: 8359"] I have three chainsaws i run...i turn the bar over once or twice a year...usually when I file off the flattened out edges on the bar. When the bar gets really old...i'll always run it with the largest dip on the bar's tip (missing metal) on top....so I can remove more bottom bar metal. I have one chain saw where the bar's oiler is fouled up...so I dip the bar completely in used motor oil and run it for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. I need to fix that one. Don't keep buying new chains...i have 25 chains I keep sharpening and rotating in service. I haven't bought a new chain in over 15 years....and I sharpen the chain after 4 to 6 hours cutting (over-maintained). Sharp tools make for easy work, less dangerous then dull tools. [/QUOTE]
