044/46 Hybrid Build

[drf256]

The dominant pin is .001 smaller in diameter than the stihl or meteor pin.

Its loose in the piston bore.

Gonna have a word with them. Not going in a saw i put my name on.

Trimmed down stock pin to meteor length in the lathe. Saved 2 grams. Better than nothing.

Very interesting that the lengths were different between them. Why is that?

some one used a china yard stick

No idea. Meteors 046 have a shorter pin than stock.

Meteor casting flash ground off. Took a bath in USC. Ready to assemble.

Time for some band sandin.

I aint fast. Watching me build a saw is as exciting as watching paint dry.

Everytime i sand a band i somehow always get sand scratches in the bore. How do you avoid that? Do you hone them out when you are done?

It’s all good Dan,
Sondres, Docs, and mine will all be at your place, if Sondre makes it.

Al & I will be running them all with Jason tomorrow. I’m sure we will all see which ones are the strongest, and then those can have a shot at that dang saw of yours

A certain 395 of mine beat dans 394. You’d be hard pressed to tell the difference without a stopwatch though.
