Old Bar/New Bar

That is my bet. If it is getting oil, just not enough, open it up a bit. A carbide burr bit might just be the ticket for that (don't go cheap on the bit, or you will be traveling back to the hardware store for another) Expect $20+ to fly out of your pocket for the bit.

The only time I think I save money (since cutting & milling) is in the winter time when that oil truck stays out of our driveway. If I come home with a just the bit and not a drill press we'll have saved some money.

Might check craglist for a press. There some really nice ones out there cheap.

Just checked Smokinj, not much in this area. I'll wait until I get a spot cleared out in the garage unless I find something in a garage sale.

Thanks

No, this is one I bought, and they have one like this with a bullet shapes end for drilling/plunging.

I bought the above and the cobalt drill bits for steel from dewalt, I decided to try the drill bit in the rigid drill. I put the old bar over the new bar, one set of holes lined up so I marked both then drilled which took about seven minutes total.

I used the dremel to knock down any burrs on the outside/inside of the groove, took the air compressor an cleaned the groove out so tomorrow some chains will get sharpened then we are ready for some milling.

Looks good bud. I expect some video of the 090 milling when you get a chance. Oh and a little dancing too, maybe try the 'robot'.

The 090 I can do the robot might have to wait.
