Necro-post. Love it.

It would honestly never cross my mind to mail a plate back to the company and have them deburr it for me.

Well it crossed my mind. This was a brand new system that needed deburring and replacement of the now damaged webbing. Halcyon apparently agreed because they immediately exchanged it at no cost to me.

Might i inquire as to the 'born on' date for the Halcyon plate you had issues with?

Just did some mods to a 1/4" stainless plate and tore some 1/2" strips off a 200 fabric backed paper to finish off the slots.
BEAUTIFUL.
Put some slices of 26x1.75 pushbike tube over the webbing anyways.
Very beautiful.

You guys do realize the date this was originally posted, right?

No, I hadn't noticed. Thanks for pointing that out.

So this thread really referred to the older Halcyon plates that were often not deburred (at least as I saw or heard) rather than the newer ones that have been. Oh, well... at least I increased my post count here!

Every man should already own a file in their tool box, it's a very basic tool. Having to deburr the slots in a plate shouldn't be too much of a problem for anyone. I agree that they should already be deburred when they leave the shop, but it's still an easy matter to correct.

The Halcyon plates I've seen all had nicely radiused slots, probably a bad production run.

+1 on Tobin's plates, Dr. Bill.

yes but, I bet you don't have a chainsaw file in that toolbox! And that is why this post was resurrected. Few people who own chainsaws know how to even sharpen a chain, therefore don't even have the file, so odds are nil that that it would be found in someone's toolbox. Apparently backplates and STAs todate can still have a burr problem, so I guess I should have opened a whole new thread... sorry

It's a Halcyon Pioneer system, purchased new, probably around the time this thread originated (2003). My comment was not meant to disparage Halcyon, as I was very pleased with the customer service and have continued to buy Halcyon gear.

Maybe this is a issue of the past...

Seeing as the post you're responding to is nearly eight years old, I think that's a distinct possibility.

I have chainsaws (Stihl's and a Dolmar)and the required files. My point was only that deburring a slot in a plate could be easily handled by any guy out there. It's a very basic thing to do. A piece of emory cloth would do the trick, or a round needle file. They come in a pack of 10 files for about $15.
I apologize if my comments seemed insensitive or offensive to anyone out there.

(Cue William Shatner voice) Must...stop....contributing...to....this......necro-post.
