Hey Buckin, I'm a 27yo man and have been struggling. Only recently started watching a few months ago but your stories, wisdom, and good nature remind me to stay on the right path and walk beside men like you. Thank you.
I made a major decision at 27 .. many men do .. you are right on track and rite where yer supposed to be . It could be as simple as you make a decision to listen to yer spirit..and between you and your understanding of something greater than you that guides yer decisions from love . Your life begins . Love ya young man
Brother, I'd say ya got here for a reason! Nothing better than men lifting up fellow men, and not bashing on them, and Buckin does a great job showing this. Since I started following his RUclips channel, it has legitimately made me a better man, always looking for ways to help someone out. I know Buckin is a good man, true to his word, and a handshake is a handshake with this fella..Buckin knows what I'm talking about, but seriously, the content is great, and very very informative, but the message is what we all really need to hear😊I hope whatever you are going through passes, but know this, don't ever give up...NEVER! welcome to the Buckin army brother, people on here are like family🫵🫵🤝👌💕
I mill beach logs and would like to add something. I keep my bars standing in a pot of old oil to keep the nose rollers from rusting, also some chains. My oiler is turned up high so I clean my bar every day but also don’t forget to clean out around the clutch with a dental pick. Oily sawdust will pack in there and add drag to the saw.
I clean my rails out with a screw style air compressor blower. Stick the tip right in the rail and run down it blowing all the gunk out along the way. Works very well and takes no time!
I love it Billy when you get back to the nuts and bolts of power saws and maintenance! You got to do all the little things first before you make the chips fly! 👊👊👊
Hey Buckin!! And the buckin army!! Thanks for the informative bar maintenance video!!! I have shown a lot of people about bar maintenence, and it actually blows my mind on how many guys don't do it!! I converted an old craftsman table saw over to a grind stone, and use it to dress my bars up!! Works fantastic!! Even works on the big Prentice harvester bars!! Just a little tipski for some folks😊😊!! Thanks brother for all your time, and what ya bring to the table 👌 💯, Much love from my family to yours!! WOOT WOOT BUCKIN ARMY!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
Few things I would also add is a needle grease fitting in the grease hole, I had a few sprockets start to bind making the saw run poorly a little grease in the sprocket made a big difference Also had a few bars with pinched noses, bar would get very hot even though it was getting plenty of oil, ended up using the scrench to pry the nose open a little and it ran like new Another thing is most screeches aren't actually coned m screwdriver tips, but are ground parallel so you can shove the tip of the scrench into the bar channel and as you're cleaning all the junk out of it by pushing through the channel you are also deburring it and taking off that slight mushroom edge it'll have on the inside
I find chain saw oil inside of a needle syringe U pimped into the little hole works better, i used to do the grease thing and then found the sprocket would get goopy after sometime and became to thick of a sludge & was harder to re clean.
I do most of my cutting in the winter, not least because I can buck a log lying on a bunch of snow straight through without tagging dirt. I learned the hard way though, that getting the tip down into the snow is pretty hard on sprocket lube, so I grease mine just about every truck load now.
A first for me on the channel, bar maintenance. You may have done one long ago but as you can see from the comments it was well received. Blessings my friend. 🙏♥️
I love how you get back to basics once in a while. I've seen you do vids on this before, but periodically reiterating things you've covered already is just another reason your channel is great because it reminds people to check this stuff and supplies them with the info to get it done! Cheers Buckin
Hey Buckin', I've been felling for over 5 years now and I've always done what I could to get the burs off the sides of my bars but I never thought to look at the tops of the rails to check for ditches and blowouts. I love your videos. I love your message of kindness. You're a gem and a wonderful mentor. Something I don't really have. Thanks for being you
I was just laying in bad after a day of hard work and sickness. And I thought it would be nice when Buckin had a new video! And then it just showed up! Can’t thank you enough for al your beautiful content Buckin! The best thing after a week of work!
To many of us forget the importance of routine maintenance , but it’s an very important part of our lives that makes an impact on how we work . I try to keep Sundays my maintenance and upkeep day . Awesome video friend 🤙🏻
Buckin, thanks for showing the bar maintenance video. I do mine by hand as well. Thanks for being the great teacher you are to other fellow wood cutters. Always learning something with your wealth of knowledge.
I learned a long time ago my cut would be ok in anything I cut under 4in , but anything bigger it would cut to one side in the cut. Could not figure it out , finally learned what you are teaching us today . I ended up buying bar file guide and a bar guide to tighten the grove . Great information wish u had the video 20 years ago . Everything he said is right on point. Thanks buckin !!
Great video as always. You're probably helping out a ton of people with these instructional ones. My uncle, who is a machinist, always told me that your eyes are more accurate than you think so your flat filing on the bar is probably dead on. Trust your eyes and skill.
Good stuff, I use a 12” disc sander with the table set perfectly to 90• with a square to get my bar rails trued and a small belt sander like yours to debur my rails. Always cuts nice and straight. Nothin worse than cutting your hand on a sharp bar rail. Sharp chains make a huge difference in how long your bars last
Hey Buckin, I am 33 years old and from germany and been a follower since forever. There is always something I learn from your videos and you are one of the persons who really helped me to keep looking forward in my life and handle my depressions. Thank you for all that Hard work and words of love and truth you put in always. 👍🏻
Buckin, it was great to meet you at Paul Bunyan this year, you are a genuine kind hearted man. Thank you for putting time into this channel and helping build an army of awesome people. Have a great weekend Sir, enjoy your day! - Brent
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing this, to me this seems simple but it's been something I have struggled with for a while now and have almost given up on a bar because it just wouldn't cut straight
Now this is the good stuff. Its all in the details. That's a very fine bevel under the top plate. I know a lot of guys prefer a steeper tougher bevel angle but when i grind my planer knives ive gone back to 35 degree's. You get a much finer smoother finish and its easier on the motor's. But outside of that sweet spot you get problems. There is a narrow corridor of optimum tolerances with these things. Once you know them and hold to them your good.
The bar is so important. A hot sticky chain robs a ton of power. Good common sense goes a long way. Even if one's not mechanically inclined we all are capable of learning if we want to and we take the time to educate ourselves. And most of all just tinker with stuff. I grew up fixing my off road bike since I was 4 mom and day couldn't afford expensive shops. Now I can fix anything just about. But it took time and I learned. I loved learning how stuff works. We all have it. And everyone has to start somewhere. Don't be afraid to learn guys.
Thank you for sharing another informative video. Your channel has shown me a good bit about wood cutting and power saws. I have watched your other video on bar maintenance. From that I have bought a little bench belt sander. The question that I have is when is a bar that worn-out that you can no longer grind it? I have yet to get a bar to the point that you can no longer maintain them.
Nice bar maintenance video Buckin'. A table disc sander can also be used as long as you can set the table to true 90° - don't rely on the table angle markings. Just remember to wash out the bar groove (away from the sprocket nose) after grinding - you will have a mix of belt/disc grit, metal particles and oil in the bar groove, it makes good grinding paste. Cheers.
The machine in use is a vertical platten linisher, personally I wouldn’t recommend using an abrasive belt coarser than a P120 grit. If using a ceramic belt then a P180 grit should do it.
Buckin' I had trouble finding a tool thin enough to clean the groove out. Strangely, I found an old credit card, or a hotel room card will work great. I work.out of town a lot, keep a hotel card every now and then and put it in my saw tool box. Works great.
I have an adjustable plastic tool that holds a flat file for sharpening the edges of alpine skiis. Some are not adjustable, and have a preset angle that is not 90 degrees. You need the square 90.
I used to use a smooth flat file to get rid of the burrs on my bars, but now I have a dressing tool that does the same thing but makes the job a lot easier. Dime, penny nickle are my groove gages. A dime fits in the .050, a penny fits in the .058 and a nickel fits in the .063. I clean my bars after each use. I have the Stihl tool that will clean the groove in my bars but a putty knife works just as well. I look for little collops in my bars and when I see them I dress them smooth with my dressing tool. You will be surprised how easily your chain will rotate on a dressed bar. Almost like glass. I just put them in a vise and dress them down. I dress the side and the top. The side gets rid of the burr and the top gets rid of any scolloped out places. Like BBR says a file will work, but you must get it square to the surface. Dressing tools are cheap and work well.
Watching you from Scotland Billy, really good bar maintenance tips. In the early 70s when these roller bar came out we were given small tipped grease guns to lubricant the rollers on the end of the bar. If you forgot to do it they would disintegrate!
Yeah, I'm amazed at how many people don't grease their bar tips, easy as it is! Glad I learned the value of truing a bar long ago...I use one of the right-angle hand files...works great!@@BuckinBillyRaySmith
I love round filing now for sure after quite a bit of practice. I bought some files to try square filing and I did not do very well on the first go round and haven’t tried again since then 😂
So, I haven't watched the whole video, but I only had do bar maintenance when the the oil hole was plugged and causes the bar to burr. Burned bars are bad. Keep your oil hole clean!!! And yes my bars had all the paint scrubbed off. Yes a file raker will clean up burrs. Your chain will ride nice on a burr-less bar. Billy knows his stuff, but a little over the hill, I've cut 40 plus face cords on one bar, because I clean the oil hole...I do flip my bars all the time too
Handy tips ❤️ The fancy pants right angle tool is a bar dressing file? Some come with a cheap file that doesn’t work real well, vallorbe make a decent one that even has the direction to use it but a good old faithful flat file does the job 🤙 whackin some grease or oil in the nose sprocket hole & cleaning it out, canola oil is cheap as chips & works
A bar widget is cheap. 90 degree angle tool that just wont last long. File is the way to go. This guy knows. .50 to a .58 has me taking bars home they were sick of. Anyone that knows anything about cutting wood didnt learn a thing from this video. Those that don't need to listen well. Good show man.
Gave up with trying to salvage a good straight cut by swapping out to thicker drivelinks or anything like that,I’d just use an orbital sander to gently remove side burs and just blow bar out from sprocket out to open end of bar,get a new bar every 2 or 3 months for what ever saw needs it
Had a friend bring his saw one day saying it wasn’t cuttin properly the reason was it had a stone jammed in the rails of the bar lol Bar maintenance is as important as saw maintenance 👍 ✌️❤️🌲🪵🪓🐝
HI BUCKIN 😊😊 U can use a chainsaw wrench 2 clean the bar out or a flat head screw driver U have 2 clean both sides and U have clean the oil wholes out so the bar can get bar oil 😊😊 buckin burrs will happen on the chainsaw bar it also keeps the chainsaw from cutting U have 2 use a flat file 2 fix and file it down the edge rolls up is what happens 😮😮 U have 2 file both sides it should be smooth no edge or lip on the bar 😊😊 U can see it or feel w your finger nail 💅 and when U clean the bar U should turn it over 2 the other side 😊😊 OMG 12 13 2O23
Appreciate the bar maintenance tips. With Australian hardwoods I wonder if your square chain filing would work or be a problem. I always use a round file. Timbers I cut are hardwoods like bloodwood, mahogany and brush box
im proud og my echo gear i got that old time srm 3800 bushhog and it slogs along so worn out it needs love now... and i got my 590 timberwolf turned up a bit, sawing lumber with it.
Howdy Buckin'..... Hope you're having a great FRIDAY....😎 APPRECIATE your mettle...the world would be a much better place if we had more folks in it like you....🥰 🙏🙏🙏BLESSINGS🙏🙏🙏 Safe travels, friend ❤❤ Stay FROSTY... Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel... 🇺🇸🇨🇦WWG1WGA🇺🇸🇨🇦NCSWIC🇺🇸🇨🇦
Me and my partner cut firewood we do around 3 cord a day I have the Stihl 028 i just brought back to life vary old saw but strong , G466 ,,ms660, stihl 372, and ms261c . I am the one that does all the chain sharpening, i took the little 028 cut more firewood with that one saw one chain cutting your way staying good inch inch and a half away from the dirt then he did with all the other saws, sharp chain staying out of the dirt and rocks means everything.
Hello buckin if bin watching a time now just lurking, im from the Netherlands. Right now going to alot, im having alot of anxiety and panic attacks. Really feel like alot of trauma coming up. I hope to get out of this really strong and letting my dreams come thru. I love you videos, pleas pray for me at some times i feel alone. Greetings from Radjah love you Brother thankyou for being you

You got this my friend. Stay strong.
people make sure after you push all the crud out of the bar check the oil holes and clean those out to they will clog when pushing the crud out
This was even better than train spotting. The rails! And the drivers! The 058 and the 050. " Its BarBaric"

I’m so glad you showed this. Using the belt sander. Never thought to use my belt sander for my bars.😊
Glad I could help!
Hey Buckin',
I've been felling for over 5 years now and I've always done what I could to get the burs off the sides of my bars but I never thought to look at the tops of the rails to check for ditches and blowouts.
I love your videos.
I love your message of kindness.
You're a gem and a wonderful mentor. Something I don't really have.
Thanks for being you
Was about to order new bar, was cutting circles, watch your video on bar matience, ordered dresser worked great, cutting straight again. Thanks buckin

there is knowledge then there is experience. add a little wisdom and you become a master. I have learned a lot from this channel. thank you buckin.
welcome
I do the same buckin I always use the flat file to get everything level and get rid of the burs and I find it efficient and easy
You are a proper teacher, Tom from UK
thx

Chainsaw bar maintenance is an essential skill that can be overlooked by many.
I never knew this could be done. You never stop giving new information. I always thought once the bars started cutting crooked it was done for.

Good afternoon Buckin thanks for taking the time to show us about bar maintenance!! Sending much love to everyone from Alberta Canada
You bet
I had no idea about this, thanks for sharing!
The Stihl raker gauge cleans the inside of bars really well. I think that is what you were going to say but even then a hacksaw blade works well also.
Thank you Becky I appreciate watching your show and I learned a lot

Love your channel, learning lots for when my dad & myself head out for firewood 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Working in saw shop lot customers complained we put the bar on upside down lol😊
Used to do them by hand in the bush if I needed to. Great tips Buckin thanks as always.

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing this, to me this seems simple but it's been something I have struggled with for a while now and have almost given up on a bar because it just wouldn't cut straight
Love the bar maintenance video makes great sense
Thank you for this video Buckin!! Great content.
Now this is the good stuff. Its all in the details. That's a very fine bevel under the top plate.
I know a lot of guys prefer a steeper tougher bevel angle but when i grind my planer knives ive gone back to 35 degree's. You get a much finer smoother finish and its easier on the motor's.
But outside of that sweet spot you get problems. There is a narrow corridor of optimum tolerances with these things. Once you know them and hold to them your good.

Hahaha looking at the camera when he lifted up you didn't see that did you? 😅 The great thing about sideways ridges is they hold oil better.
I love round filing now for sure after quite a bit of practice. I bought some files to try square filing and I did not do very well on the first go round and haven’t tried again since then 😂

Me and my partner cut firewood we do around 3 cord a day I have the Stihl 028 i just brought back to life vary old saw but strong , G466 ,,ms660, stihl 372, and ms261c . I am the one that does all the chain sharpening, i took the little 028 cut more firewood with that one saw one chain cutting your way staying good inch inch and a half away from the dirt then he did with all the other saws, sharp chain staying out of the dirt and rocks means everything.
Thank s
