Careful you might burn those cookies. Those 346 are addicting you might not want to use anything else. Those other saws you got will start to collect dust real soon.

Lol yep it's a nice light and strong saw for sure. It's pretty impressive even stock not broke in yet.

Don't be afraid to operational check the air/chit separator.

Nice!

Lighter more nimble 2152 has the 16'' .325 and the 5105 has a 16" 3/8. Both will buck or limb, but the Jonsered has it over the Dolmar for a better limb and trim saw and the Dolmar has a litter more grunt for bucking.

Yes it will.

May wanna a similar setup for the 261, can it be had Pico style for the Stihl?

.

I think that will be a tall order. Don’t think there is a removable/replaceable tip in 3/8LP

The one I built for my Dad wears a 16" .325 .058 gauge standard weight Total Super Bar (Tsumura). At first I didn't want the .058 but could not find any Totals in .325 .050 gauge. It wound up being a happy accident however because the .058 guage chain that fits it is an off the shelf loop of RS at my Stihl dealer.

I have the same bar (TSB) in 16 .325 .050 on my 346 and now wish it was .058 for the same reason..it’s easy to find good stihl loops that fit, not so much the .050.

I always thought the .058 was a Jonsered/Husqvarna thing and Stihl generally stayed w/.050 and .063. That way around here anyway....

Here too...except 16 .325 .058. My stihl dealer has a ton of boxed loops. I run stihl 3/8 Rs .050 on pretty much everything, so I bought the .325 in .050 assuming it’d be easy to find locally. I was wrong lol
