Very nice.
Is it time for the "quarter swipes", or is that chain for another saw.

all of these chains I am testing don't yet have a specific saw but I am going to keep notes on them to help make it easy to match chains to future saws, the chains I have that belong to a specifc saw only get run at race time

I put my 5ci chain on my 066 ported work saw once to see what it would cut. I can hear him at end of videos saying 1.09 1.09 1.06 with just a 8T. Not even turned up for gtg racing still fat for work.
Wood was either aspen or poplar left over from one of my racing gtg's back then.
No piston work, stock oem piston. Nothing fancy, just a good ole work saw. No squish cut or nothing. No carb work.
Saw was ported by Brent Combs from WV. But someone else had claimed to porting it but was a lie like usual.

Anyone time that 2nd cut once saw cleared up after 1st cut on 3120?
I know with the Helsel hand filed chain for it was scary fast. But that chain on it was a crap dubbed up machine chain.

Dave have you ever come across any of that Stihl high tooth .404 timbersport chain?
I have access to buying some of the stuff, but just don't feel like spending the high dough to buy it at the moment.
It's what everyone wants but is a mystery chain with very little information about it.

I remember summer logging on a hot spring day falling spruce, then every now and then zipping through a poplar like butter.
Even more like melted butter when you buck up a poplar in the middle of the tree. First 6 feet from the stump is the toughest.

Yup, he's the man. Once I get my bikesaw closer to finish I'll definitely have to unload my wallet and get a few loops of the stuff.Simon Bertrand sells that high tooth 404.
Anyone have any more info about the .404HT?
