Roll them bars over

I think most folks know to do this but some may not.
Turning the bar over once in awhile will reduce wear to just one side of the bar.

But then you gotta turn your head all cockeyed to read what it says.  I have had more than one person come out of their house and tell me "do you know you have your chain on upside down".  Seriously.

Good point kevin. A bar SHOULD be rotated from time to time. Makes good sense

Kevin, what do you do for milling bars that have a hole drilled for an auxillary oiler?

I'm sorry but we can't allow any difficult questions on the chainsaw forum.  ;D

I'm not sure as I don't mill anything large enough to need the extra oil.
Once my logs are square they are considerably smaller, at least the ones to date.

I'll have to ask for help from the guys that have installed and use them.

Guess we have two options:

Drill both sides of the bar at appropriate spots and thread.  Then, keep one plugged, while using the other, or install two nipples, so that you can attach the hose to the one you need at the time.  

I have always prefered dual nipples, anyway.
('bout you?)

Just a little humor, just a little.

There were only two things we couldn't allow on the chainsaw forum and that was the other one.  :D

I'm thinking that by extending and routing the oil tubing below the bottom of the bar and bringing it back up to the bar fitting, gravity will still oil the bar because the supply is higher than the bar, no?

No reason that shouldn't work Kevin. As long as one can keep the tube away from the chain somehow..

Gus, you can secure it to the clamp of the mill near the bar nose with tie wraps.
That should work.

Kevin,
I just took a look at mine. I do believe that would work.
