good size for camping...did you learn how to sharpen it properly ??..makes a big difference being able to tickle up the chain in the bush.

The Dolmars are good Richard.
My "BABY" saw is a Dolmar 68cc.Bloody good saw,much better than the Sthils I have to use at work!!!

Haven't had to sharpen it yet but I know the theory.....................

Andrew, 68cc............... I think mine is more like 30....................

Funny that we are talking about the old chainsaws, had a new guy at work taking the end off a milling log and he didn't have it chocked properly, when he was just about through the chain locked up as the log bit down then 5 tonne log started rolling towards him. Great idea that he got out of the way, not so good for our just serviced 046 Stihl which was crushed in the process!! Motor and all still serviceable but will need an entire new casing and fuel tank etc... Atleast the young bloke wasn't squashed. He learnt a valuable lesson at our expense!
