Cutting pieces today for the Party Planners. I cut this off of a large Spruce that got hit by lightning. To me it looks like a woman's thighs, and whoo-whoo.
Looks like there's a little nub sticking out up there to me...? Be careful with that one. Mmmkay???

And think of the additional weight reduction.......LOL! Mmmkay???
Weight reduction is in order. I'm having two of my bars milled out to fit D025. The carbon bar and a 28" Total Lightweight. We'll see how it goes. Should have them back after the weekend. Will be fun to try the carbon bar on the 066.

If you want to torture test your RW bar that 066 is definitely a good saw for the job.

I'm curious to see how the 90° corners in the lightened portion hold up. Usually that creates a spot for a crack to occur. Seems to be doing fine so far though

The recessed rim that acts as a mechanical fastener encompasses all four sides of each cutout. Stress should be minimal because of this.

I should be ready to start on my next bar the week of Thanksgiving. I was hoping to get going on the 42" Oregon by now, but I have a daughter getting married this Friday, and then we are having a second reception for her in California the following weekend(not my idea).
I will be upsizing from the 1" Relton to a 1 3/8" Relton. This will allow me to run a 1/4" two sided beveled edge around the cutout rims, while leaving plenty of room to the rail groove.
Just stumbled across this I have a bridge port at work looks like nothing is getting done tonight on third shift:thumbup:
And access to uv ressin with light man i could make a mess of some stuff because for y'all that dont know me I know enough to get really stupid hahaha
Get after it @Dub11. Tear some *s-word up.

Both the carbon bar and my Total Lightweight 28" is milled out and ready for the 066 now. Gonna be awesome! The Total bar must have spring steel or something in it. My buddy said it was a little bit of a beeatch to mill it.
