I wanted to ask you guys for advice. I no longer trust my Stihl MC260 as it gave me repetitive problems even after it was repaired by a dealer.

I can't say I know of a MC260 but the ms260 pro I have. Having been in tree service for a long time I only use Stihl. I have never had issues as in scoring the piston or sleeve but I have seen damage like that because of people start and go with out the saw having time to evenly heat up the piston sleeve evenly which burns the rings scores the sleeves damages the piston. seeing that you are running the saw in all weather hot or cold it needs to warm up for a minute or two depending on the weather to insure even expansion of the sleeve. I have a MS 251 pro and have used a large range of sizes up to a MS 880. hope this helped

@Tyson Madding the makita pro brand I have is pretty good. They compare very well to stihl. They are made lighter now I agree , my father's were beast. And as maybe a 10 year old I was running them. Looking back it wouldn't be allowed now.ea 5000 prel. Average size. , Going for the big one soon or maybe the Aliexpress beast that seems pretty good.

I know zip point nothing about chainsaws or cutting logs. But anytime you're working against your tool, something has to give. This intuitively feels right

What if you cut at an angle in relation to the guide to minimize tooth contact as you cut? Like built in a 45 degree or even made it adjustable?

Discovered this video by chance as a friend is seeking help in such building methods. I have run a MS260 for a decade that has cut down and bucked at least 50 cord of firewood plus trail cutting and with the exception of one carb kit it has never let me down even during the hardest use. I have only used a 16 inch bar so as to better fit on my quad. Thank you for such an informative video. Regards from BC Canada 🇨🇦

Max, my 10-year-old son Zephyr and I are enjoying your fascinating videos very much! We do quite a lot of chainsaw milling, -usually with an Alaskan Mill attached to my giant old Stihl 090 chainsaw (videos posted on NOpost "Ingmar Lee") But I also frequently mill planks by eye as you are demonstrating here. I find that the cutting goes much easier if you rip from the top of the bar, instead of the bottom. What I do is plunge the saw right through the piece at the beginning of the chalk line, and then, with an approximately 45 degree cutting angle, just push the saw through the cut, instead of pulling. The saw pushes back at you of course, but it's a lot easier and more relaxing to brace, and you don't bury your line with sawdust. And the saw just climbs up into the cut and pulls itself along very easily once you get the hang of it. So you can see your line the whole way through, and all you need to concentrate on is keeping your saw plumb! Keep up the great work! Clearly, you are having a huge lot of fun and your bushcrafting is just excellent!! Cheers, Ingmar -writing from Denny Island, near Bella Bella on the British Columbia coast of Canada

I also had a cheap chainsaw, not very different from the Stihl. I changed over to a Husqvarna and never looked back. I have other Stihl products, and they are very fussy about gas additives, and I often replaced Stihl carburetors. We can buy small engine gas in a can at the hardware store for these kind of problems.

I just cut a 12" cedar log in half using the same method. I saw another video of lumberjacks in South America using the same. I did finally get the log cut in half with my little 14" bar. But it was a hell of a mess with uneven cuts going in every direction. I now see your advice on having a properly sharpened blade was my problem. Thanks for the lesson.

Your original problem was that the chain would not bite into wood for long, deep cuts. Your technique and homemade guide were excellent, but you simply had the wrong chain for that type of cutting. “Skip chain” is commonly used in chainsaw mills. It has half as many cutters and usually lower rakers. This reduces friction, increases cutting, and reduces strain on the saw. I used skip chain with my Husqvarna 365 with 42” bar to cut flats on spruce up to 38” diameter for my log house. Worked great.

The MS 260 is "supposed" to be commercial grade, it is not. When you were pouring fuel into the saw from the red can, it appeared that the fuel was unmixed. The fuel was extremely clear in color, a properly mixed fuel will have a greenish/blue tint to it. Using poorly or un-mixed fuel will overheat a two-stroke engine and the piston will scar, thereby losing compresion. In my humble opinion, the saw you are using is waaay to small. If you are going to use a small saw like that and want to stay with Stihl, perhaps you could get lucky enough to find a used 038 Super. Otherwise, save your pennies and jump up to a (362, 462 or 500 fuel injected!!! Or, a used 440 or 460, also a used 041 Super----ALL COMMERCIAL)

I saw piston in such a state when my buddy forgot to mix proper fuel, used only half amount of neccessary oil onto the gas. Such a heavy damage to a piston suggest the same error, the oil/fuel mix wasn't good. You should ask a pro mechanic.

A year & a half later, nearly 3500 views. Great video. Looking at the destroyed piston, it looks like you had a lean seize. A chain saw's primary cooling is furnished by the incoming fuel/air mixture. For milling, it is usually recommended to fatten up, or enrichen, the carburetor mixture a bit. Another thing to do is to use a bit more oil in your fuel mix, & use the best air cooled, 2-cycle mix you can find, along with fresh gasoline. You may have to clean or replace your spark plug more frequently, but a spark plug is much cheaper than a piston & cylinder. Check & clean the air filter regularly. Also, there is no replacement for displacement. More CC's is better. BTW, Mahle is the top manufacturer of professional grade P & C for the OEM manufacturers. Cheers!

This is great. Well done. One comment; I feel You should remember is that it is the noise from the chainsaw that is such a high pitch you cannot hear it and that is what damages your hearing.
