Saw video thread

The first time I used my 271t I did a lot of up cuts on the ground and the bar did creep down and over tightened the chain. So, I figured I'd center the bar so it won't get too loose or too tight on that saw.

Thanks, I understand, but 20" skip sharpens even faster! Just an experiment. Plus with city tree work I'm at high risk of hitting metal which means a LOT more filing on each tooth

Here is a 660 running a 20" 3/8 full comp chain.

Smaller wood, softer wood, is that saw ported? Mine only had a muffler mod. Just too hard to compare till I try full comp on mine.

LOL. Mike Lee ported 660
Only good video I had of it running a 20" bar. Mason was doing all the saw operation.

Jeff's 660, ported my Mike Lee, is a very strong saw!

When you’re leaning on em and they still wanna bounce off the spikes you know they’re bad azz.

Skip is generally used on bars longer than 20". Like 32 through 36" length. I am only trying to help. I personally think your saw will cut faster using full chisel, full comp chain when using a 20" 3/8 bar with a saw that size.
Just me. 20" chains sharpen pretty fast by hand for me.

So i shouldn't use skip on my 14" bars on 201s ?

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Nope

 

[sawmikaze]

Lol. Nope

I guess that skip chizz is the reason my bar kicked back and knocked me teef out ?

 

[RI Chevy]

LMFAO

I actually prefer semi skip over full skip anyway. [emoji106]

I suppose if one was to do a short bar comparison between full comp and skip, both off the roll, they'd have slower cut times with skip. But a skip chain should be set up a little different with lower rakers. They can move.

I found full skip not as smooth in the cut as full comp. Just me.

The 20" set up I ran in both the recent 372xp and the 372/385 hybrid videos is a full skip chisel. No point to prove, lol, but it seems like a pretty smooth cutting loop.

Wow

Often more than one way to skin the cat!

I remember running that saw a couple years ago at the NY gtg. It’s a great saw. The guy that built it knows his chit.
