Say more about that. What geology?

Big old hybrid. 36” face cut 15’ up. I blocked down the stump in 6 pieces. This is about halfway through. Just the flush cut left. This guy watched the whole thing and never got up.

In theory, you could make a base piece that had a cutter mounted. You can definitely modify the cutter for other chamber contours. If you have watched TreeMonkey’s videos you may have noticed he has a very similar mandrel system but the base piece is threaded with an index. One mark on the...

My .02 is that this thread should go in Builders Reviews. The trouble is people pay more attention to the stickies at the top of the Chainsaw forum than they do the sub-forums. So where does Builders Review go? I don’t think it needs to go anywhere, certainly not buried in the build threads...

I don’t know if they are better, they were just very cheap and they mostly work. Quality varies widely in clone saws and no particular brand has changed that.

IIRC, Walbro put out a service bulletin some years ago saying NOT to put their carbs in an ultra-sonic cleaner.

Post build threads. Port Saws.

I like users. The ones that cut trees fast and don’t complain are the ones I collect.

No one has said 2100 yet. The Husky and the Homelite are beastly.
