Canuck?
You are the best !!always explained in layman's language !!!!!
I could actually feel a disturbence in the force when he said more painful than child birth.
The reference to child birth is hilarious! Cheers from Australia!
Right on Buddy! Thank You...
Nothing to it. I've had 4 sons and they came right out. Gals like to make us feel guilty when they can.
I lol’d too
Dude why is it every sharpening video I come across they're sharpening full chisel chain. Is semi chisel wimpish Or difficult to sharpen
If childbirth was difficult then men would have to do it.
After 45 years in the tree / saw maintainer biz, I have seen just about every mistake you can make with a chainsaw. Bar and chain maintenance are at the root of most. I think the most important is most of what you covered. My suggestion: after you finish cutting, remove the bar and chain, clean the bar, use a bar square on the down side ,not much.. one or two strokes,clean,grease nose sprocket and re install,leaving the chain loose. I get better bar life this way, rather than waiting until it’s grinder time. Love your show. Just remember, there are some people that should not pick up a chainsaw. Just for safety’s sake.
@@joncotn yup, and they drive cars, raise kids, vote, and influence society with their economic choices
By far one of the best small engine channels out there. Steves videos have helped me countless times. I can't just can't say enough good things. Thanks for all of the effort you put into every video.
Wow, thank you!
For guys like me, Steve’s doing the lord’s work on these chainsaw videos.
Since my dad died 2 years ago, I’ve had no one to refer to for help. Steve is now my chainsaw pop!
Right on Buddy...
ZP Pierce I like that comment
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon This is exactly why I am also here. My dad always used to maintain and sharpen our chainsaw, but he died suddenly and didn't have time to pass on all the knowledge.
Thanks for the tips, My firewood is very crooked. I think for me it is a combination of worn out bar + chain sharpened a little less on the left side.
@@georgeman27 sorry to hear about your Dad I had years to learn how to shoe horses from my Dad and only learnt how to trim now Dad's nearly 80 and I live about 6hrs away in a city although recently we had some time together due to bushfires it was great take care I hope your sort that saw
@@shaveclassy9986 Yeah, it was quite sudden, but i am fine now. It has been years. Thanks to Steve's tips on sharpening, my chainsaw purrs like a kitten. Turns out, and this is stupid, In ALL my years, I have never realized that metal files work only ONE way. So I was sharpening one side of the chain, while making the other side DULL...
My local small engine repair shop hates this channel because i don't need him anymore.Steve has a video for everything i need and he knows his stuff.Thanks Steve
You're Welcome...
Dude i have learned more from you in just a few videos than i have. in 50 years on this marble and a hundred friends....thank you steve
That is awesome!
I flipped my bar and it made a huge difference, cuts great now. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thanks Steve. I'm a bit of a novice with the chainsaw and other small engine garden maintenance equipment. Finding your channel has helped me enormously. You're a champion! Particularly liked the video on starting a flooded engine. Awesome. My own chainsaw is a Stihl MS311 which I love is only a few years old and has only light use, but I reckon I learned valuable information from this video which will come in handy soon enough. Thanks a heap from country Victoria (Australia)
Thanks so much for posting these videos, my dad never did proper maintenance on the old chainsaw (pioneer partner 400) or taught me much in the way of how to even use it. With your videos it's been a slow but steady process of first getting it to start, tensioned, sharpened, and now getting it to cut a bit better/straighter.
Thank you Steve. I worked in a small engine/saw shop and know most of this stuff but these videos are my refresher course. I tend to forget things these days and this is like going back to school. I haven't had this problem myself in about 30 years but when I did it was bad! Worse, it was my lack of sharpening skills at that time. I have also had bad rails too. I think? I think it was from me running a tight chain? A file did the trick as you showed. These days when friends bring me their saws it's usually a carb problem. Sometimes a good cleaning will fix them or just a kit and clean.
Didn't even know that was a question I should have asked. Thought I just got old and suck with the chain saw. As always, a spot-on video.
Just wanted to throw a big thanks your way. You're a good man to share your knowledge with the world for free. I know you have helped countless people and for that we should all raise a beer to you, in respect. Looking forward to watching you for a long time to come.
Awesome comment! Thanks Bill....
Wish you were in Australia ,I would shout you a proper beer ,great videos , thanks , Ross
Agree. Nicley said.
Bars and Beer..Two subjects that are close to my heart....
Forgot... boobs.. oh yea!! Ditto.... lol
Steve, I'm so glad I found your channel. I've learned more about chainsaw maintenance in a few videos of yours than I've ever found from others. Most recently, getting the right 2 in 1 sharpener for your chain (I got the wrong one) and why my saw drifts to be side when trying to cut straight. Thanks!
Very welcome...
Couldn't agree more with ZP Pierce. I also don't have reliable men in my day to day life. Steve has been priceless In helping me restore an old Stihl ms290. With his help plus some other UA-camrs I've been able to completely restore a chainsaw that had been passed on from someone recently deceased. I plan on regifting the saw back to it's owner after a complete restoration. Couldn't do it without you Steve thanks for you help and easy approach in teaching.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Thanks again Steve. You helped me diagnose the real reason my Tanaka ECV4501 was cutting crooked.....my chain bar rails were uneven. Having a new bar and the old one and standing them as you suggested (or trying to stand them!) on a flat surface quickly showed up the issue! Thanks again. Now lm going to attempt to dress the old bar and keep as a spare. Great channel!
From an Irish subscriber!! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
You're Welcome...
Way more detail than I've seen in other videos on this subject. Thanks!
You're Welcome...
I like to “refresh” on your videos sometimes!
Thanks Steve.
You're Welcome...
Thanks Steve. Please keep the videos coming. I am learning a lot and I appreciate your time.
You`re Welcome...
A big thanks to you, Steve, all the way from Lebanon.
Your instructions are very informative, easy to apply & comprehensive.
Keep it up!
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
I love how Steve can crack a joke, humour it right up, with a straight face still. Beer drinking does this to you. [ask me]. I got a lot out of this video as well!. Steve would get on really great with Aussies.
Thanks Mate....
Even if I sent all my repair/maintenance work to a shop, I would still watch Steve's videos because he cracks me up! My cat hates it when I watch these because I scare him when I laugh! Keep it up, Steve!
Love your informative videos. You do a great job.
Thank You...
Absolutely love your channel, when I got out of the Navy in Pac Beach Wa, I logged for Itt Rainier for a couple years. U nail chainsaw! Thank you!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
This is a fantastic informative no nonsense video, and exactly what i needed with my MS170. Thanks Steve and Co.
Our pleasure!
Steve, you're my go to guy whenever I run in to problems with any of my gas tools. You've saved me a ton of cash and time. Love your vids! I discovered a variant on reason #2: the driver teeth on the chain wore down very quickly. The chain was the right gauge originally, but wear made it like like it was now too small. I suspect the reason was that too much downward pressure was being applied when cutting (and the chain was loose) prematurely wearing out the chain's driver teeth. Keep up the good work!!
keep the chain sharp and let the saw do the work!
Great video! I did not know/ever think about these issues but it makes complete sense.
Thank You...
Thanks Steve. I'm rebuilding a Jonsered 630 for my Dad and the bar on that saw had short rails. I could see daylight between the new chain and bar rails. New Oregon bar on order. Thanks again.
Excellent VIDEO. Thank you.
Any problems I have with a saw I only have to find one of your videos then it's sorted! Thanks for sharing your experience, I just had to subscribe 👍🏻
Thank You...
"He actually said that you can hold water in them too. I'm not so sure about that." LOL!
Shouldn't drink water. Water rusts pipes and fish poop in it.
I tried putting water in a similar bottle. The problem is that it never got drunk. Beer seemed to get consumed faster. In short, it’s a good container for water, but it’s a better vessel for drinking a couple beers. Especially if you only want to drink “one”.
Hey Steve, been watching your channel for years now
I have a 661cm with a 42” Oregon bar. Yes, one step above the max size. I blew out the sprocket on the end of the bar. It even caught on fire and melted the paint off the tip. Had it in the Alaskan mill for sugar maple
Sprocket was free and oiled. Brand new bar and had no issues logging the first few logs. The rest of the bar is totally fine
Gauge and pitch were correct. Stihl chain on the Oregon bar. Skip tooth 3/8 .063”. Brand new chain. Brand new clutch and drive sprocket. Brand new bar second time using.
My thoughts are not enough oil
Getting to the tip, lower quality bar ba stihl, chain maybe too loose, maybe the sprocket got worn off to one side and the chain was riding the side, probably a combination off all of these. I will replace the bar sprocket and try again. There is a small possibility of a manufacturer defect on the sprocket but it’s welded inside the tip now and I can’t get a Pi look at it until later.
Anyway just wondering if you had any additional thoughts or ideas.
Thanks for the excellent information Steve !! I had no idea . You definatly provide useful information, and save many of us from learning the hard way...
My pleasure!
Great information! Thank you!
You're Welcome...
Just subscribed. You just fixed my saw, and I watched one of your videos on a weed eater carb. You fixed it to.Thanks man! I am going to start watching more of your videos and spread the word for your channel.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
The material you are broadcasting is very useful and entertaining. Little tips and tricks are very helpful.
Some great info on this video actually helped me figure out that it was my bar and not my chain
Great Video! Thanks. Some guys start out on these DIY videos by explaining what a screwdriver is, where they were born, and how many children they have. I REALLY LIKE the way you get to the point. Now I'm gonna go put my greasy bar on the kitchen table and see what the wife thinks about you! HaHa! Thanks Steve!
LOL! Good luck Billy....
Hey thanks for the video. Could you do one on general chainsaw maintenance. Thanks
Great video Steve, been running saws for over 40yrs but I'm still learning. From Wales UK.
Thank you...
Thanks, Steve! This was a video I really needed and will save me a lot of 💰! As for the length of your videos, they are so packed with info it really doesn't matter.
Awesome, thank you!
Hi Steve gary from Ontario ur videos are vary informative keep up the great work
Thank you...
New subscriber. Carb adjustment videos brought me. Liking the videos, man.
Right on...
Man just keep these videos coming...love your style...because your authentic, smart, and funny
Thanks so much GoGo....
I live in the land of logging and forests, Sweden. So, here having a chainsaw is like having a car. However, only your instructions clearly demonstrated carburator adjustment on my Stihl saw. Good job. Keep it up.
Cool, thanks
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I'm wondering if you could possibly produce a video on the proces of cutting along the grain when handling chainsaws. What I mean is that I tried to adjust the angling on my chain to cut along the grain, but it doesn't feel right. Perhaps you could enlighten me?
That helps a ton! Great info.
Thank You...
Thanks Steve. Sydney Australia
You're Welcome Mate...
excellent information for bar maintenance, thanks
You're Welcome...
Excellent video. Learn so much thanks allot.
This really helped me out! Thanks for the video 👌
You're Welcome...
When dressing your bar, don't forget to also de-burr the edges. That same Oregon tool (Pferd also makes a good one) that works to level the rails is also good for deburring, you just turn it to put the cutting edge on the side of the bar, rather than on top of the rails. (A regular flat file works as well.) After leveling the rails and deburring, the corners of the rails are often razor sharp. I'll generally take my flat file or bar rail dresser and make a VERY light pass with it held at a 45˚ angle to just break that corner slightly. You hands will thank you for this step if you are ever handling a bar without gloves on.
Great and thorough instructions. Thanks Steve.
Very welcome
Steve even though this video is 3 years old, how awesome it still applies today. Thanks 🙏
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Very good, informative video. You didn't touch on one cause of crooked cutting that I personally experienced. As the bar wears, the guide links can touch the bottom of the slot in the bar, which will raise the tie straps of the chain above the rails of the bar, allowing the chain to tilt right or left. When this happens, the bar is plain worn out. I also clean the bar slot each time I change or sharpen my chains. It's amazing how much junk gets jammed in that slot
Good video. I cut wood in the high desert. The sand eats chain, bars and sprocks quick. I ended up getting the bar rail grinder from Bailey's and a bar rail closer from Madsen's. The grinder is very helpful! But, I often close the rail too much which I'm used to sligjtly re-openning back up.
I like the cannon bars the best as they last (a little) longer in the sand then even Stihl and for sure longer then the Oregon and Husky bars.
But one thing is for sure, I cut straight now.
Thanks for posting Steve. I've been running saws for 40+ years (Gad!) and learned a few things right there. Excellent video.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Excellent info and presentation! Thank you
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Just tuned two bars yesterday, from an 018 and a 290. I have a woodshop and a shop build edge sander. Works great for getting the rails both to the same height. Uses a 6" x 48" belt with a platen at 90 degrees to the belt.
Right on Ole! We used the same thing at a shop I used to work at. Works great....
Good video. information seems to make sense, all but the part about drinking Budweiser.
I am so glad our found your channel. 👍. I have been using Stihl saws for 45 years but have learned several really good things from these videos. And you are too funny. 😆. Who knew some plastic bottles can be used for water, too. 🤣. And your comment about not really having a point of reference to the pain of childbirth being less than the pain of a sleeping relationship of steel in your eye had me laughing out loud.
It has just been recently that my log cuts have not been square. I thought it was me and those darn aging muscles that was not holding the saw better. You have brightened my day in showing that it may be something to do with an old bar or wrong chain size. I'll check all the things you show here. I already feel five years younger! 😄. Thank you!
Right on Karen! Thank You...
This was great! Lots of good advice that might even be ordinary overlooked by the tool repair shop. Thanks Steve!
You're welcome...
Man, you have the gift for putting out great info!
Thank You...
Thanks!!
You're Welcome...
You'd be surprised how many guys don't have a cue about maintaining their saws..
I'm a certified cutter skidder operator with signing authority, so I trained guys I hired to harvest timber. I made sure each and everyone of them knew everything there was to know about saw maintenance, and Even experienced cutters had no idea how to maintain their bars and remove the burr, which is something that has to be done frequently, and checked everytime you flip the bar.
Filing / sharpening is an important part of operating a saw, but bar maintenance is equally important..
I had them invest in tools they could take with them to the bush in a tool kit that would do everything they needed to do to keep cutting safely and efficiently..
That was some years ago now, but it still all applies.
A Chainsaw is the deadliest power tool anyone can buy off the shelf.
Chainsaw accidents happen by The Weekend warrior who buys a chainsaw with no common sense whatsoever are dangerous to everyone around. I've seen bad things happen.
That said I've had my share of accidents to though.
People don't realize it's an odds game. Each Time You Go To Fell Timber, Buck, and Block, Limb etc you run the risk of getting hurt. The More times you enter the bush the more the odds stack up.
There is only one sure fire way to prevent accidents, and that's to be careful, know what you are doing, and know who's in the bush with you and there whereabouts at all times..
It's not the stuff on the ground that will kill you, it's the stuff hanging overhead.. aka "THE WIDOW MAKER"
Thanks for sharing the video..
I encountered this very same problem today, chainsaw cutting at a angle. And I remembered I seen this particular video pop up in the "youtube recommendations". And lookey here, here I be. Thanks Steve! Keep up the good work/info.
Glad it helped
I just experienced this very thing. i bought new bars and now that I have time, Im going to recondition the old ones. Now I'll always have a spare set of bars when Im on a job.
Great idea...

Hello there Steve
Again I appreciate your complete and thorough very thorough videos. Thanks so much coming on you tube and taking the time to make such GOOD INFORMATIVE VIDEOS. PLEASE DONT QUIT !!!!!!! Please don’t. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. LOVE EM!!!!!
Thank You...
Great info. I've not even thought about the guides being uneven. Keep it up brother.
Thank You...
This video randomly appeared in my feed as I am a subscriber. I Ihad no idea that much Maintence went into the bar. Thanks again for another great one! Cheers!
Glad I could help!
Steve’s dry no smile humour is hilarious
Thank You...
Thanks Steve, I have worked with chainsaws since 1972 but I can always learn something from you, Thanks again Budweiser. After a 6 pack my chainsaw sometimes cuts crooked, well i think it does !!!!
LMAO, Right on Buddy...
If that happens after only a six pack you are still on your learners permit. Not for your chain saw skills, your drinking skills😂
One of the best videos on this yet awesome
Wow, thanks!
Thank you Steve. Great tips. Great work you're doing. Sunny greetings from below the Julian Alps - Slovenia, EU
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
i love your videos Steve, you explain things in the simplest way. i've never seen an "axe file" before, is it somehow different than other files whereas it won't be destroyed by using it in a back and forth motion? i noticed it actually says AXE on it as well.
I wondered too
I was wondering as to why my cuts were going crooked. I thought it was my own poor cutting technique. I have been too embarrassed to ask anyone. Thank you Steve.
You are so welcome!
Excellent instruction!!!
Thank you!
I just got a new bar on my 15-year-old Stihl due to that wide gap and uneven rail situation. My cuts were starting to look like they were made with a circle cutter rather than a straight bar!
Great information, Steve. I'm happy to have come across your channel.
Thank You...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I went out today and cut a cord of hedge to firebox-length. Every cut was straight and true.
Hi Steve,
your doing a great job conveying insight and knowledge on small engine repair,
I also see every now and then you like to yank viewers Chain's!
LOL, Pun intended but you're still a good teacher of the small engine!
Thank You...

Good job
Have not ran into this concern from anyone yet but great to know. Thank You.
I’ve been watching you for some time now for good reason...I always learn something that is very helpful. Keep up the good work!👍👌💪👏
Awesome! Thank you!
When I read, "Crooked Firewood" I thought this video was about dishonest firewood sellers. lol
When sharpening hand saws I used a homemade tool for leveling the teeth. Take a piece of 2x and cut a groove in it to form a tight fit on your file. Works just like the store bought.
Make a video
Very helpful, thanks!
You're welcome!
This help me so much I’m 27 and never lived in a house that was not heated with wood Thanks
Well, at least you have strong arms from all that wood chopping! Thanks for watching and I'm glad the video helped!
Thanks a ton for point 4, man (rails). You just saved me a hell of a hassle trying to find a new bar with everything in lockdown due to the C19 virus. I owe you a shot of whiskey.
Right on Pat...
I’ll let i
I have been in the small engine business for 25 years. The was excellent and comprehensive training on bars and chains. Box stores usually know little about bars and chains. Our local box stores often sold chains to customers that were a different pitch and gauge than their equipment required. I have straightened out those issues often. I would surmise that your video helped many people.
Thank You...
Thanks for the info. Very good, especially for amateur wood cutters like me. You did a good job of explaining the problem and how to remedy. Thanks again for good info.
You're welcome..
good video steve. i'd like to ad the best repair is to avoid the problem in the first place. most wear is from lack of lube and or abrasive infiltration. a dull chain grinds dust not pull chips when that gets in the bar groove it plugs the oil supply. so proper chain sharpening tension and rail cleaning with good oil is a lot cheaper than replacement parts.
Great comment Rick, thank you...
Right you are
How do you know what gauge chain you have, is it marked in some way?
Great info for my saw I used to cut a neighbor limb that fell recently. I’ve got an electric Kobalt saw and know it’s not made for large diameter but it’s all I have…for now.
My popular ‘Wild Thing’ dies after start and have to definitely clean carb & tune it.
Thanks again,
Mark from NC
Thanks Steve I'm going to try my bar out on the kitchen bench only thing level.
Steve, If you've ever been kicked in the knackers, you're probably qualified to comment on childbirth pain - Many women deliberately have more than 1 child - No man asks for another kick in the knackers - Great channel Steve - I'm an occasional chainsaw user & your channel has saved my chainsaws, my time & probably some body parts - Cheers brother
LOL, great point Jack...
Belt sander works awesome. Also dress the sides of the rails as they get a lip. If your saw tends to get stuck as you cut wood it probably has a lip on the sides of the rails.
Great tip, thanks Steve...
Steven Hatfield, just make sure to get all the grit out with air compressor or good cleaning brush. The grit will wear the parts down extra fast.
Clean it every time you sharpen! Remove all the metal shavings!
Thanks Steve....that was very informative! Merry Christmas to y'all and have a blessed day.
You're welcome and have a safe holiday my friend....
Steve, thanks for posting this. I was cutting firewood this afternoon and the saw was only cutting well on an extreme angle. I took the bar off and set it on the table, could not get it to balance on the bottom side, top side balanced well. Flipped the bar and went back to the wood. Cuts like a dream. I will try to file the bad edge and see if I can save the bar. Thanks again man!
Awesome!
