Did you get a chance to try it out? I forgot to mention that they switched from 100grit on the earlier wheels to 150grit on the newer ones. My original is 100 grit but I ordered the custom one with 150. The 100 is plenty aggressive enough so I would guess that the 150 would still cut good but...

I’m still waiting for it to get done. It’s been about 3 weeks. It sounds like the price will be near the same as the one they sell.

I’ve got one also. I’ve had it for about a year and a half. Pros: Very good quality abrasive No dressing needed Showing no signs of getting worn so far Great customer service (Dan is great to talk to) Cons: The shape they sell works well but it’s...

I’ve found the same issues with the stihl es lite bars. I didn’t realize what was going on until I bought a sugi hara bar and had more oil than I needed. The sugi hara has a significantly larger hole. Probably double the area.

Thanks everyone for letting me come rip the tarp and break the wheelbarrow handle. All joking aside I’m really grateful to be a part of this group.

Getting ready to load up. Everyone is welcome to run any saw I bring with. A lot of them are fine examples of Steve’s saw work.

Eric and I will have some syrup for sale like we have in the past if anyone is interested. We didn’t get to make very much this year so the syrup we have is made by a coworker of mine.

I have one of these and wasn’t real impressed…until I had it ported. Now it’s terrific. They really gain a lot from a port job. They’re a good solid saw with good filtration, manual carb and a heck of an oiler. Overall this would be a good deal.

I’ll bring one. I’ll try to not forget to bring it home this time too.

Looking good Steve. I’m planning to be there. I’ll bring saws and splitting mauls.

I’ll take #20 the silver rs2 square grinder.

Added some more money tonight.

I bought one off eBay about a year ago. It shipped from Hungary. Oddly it’s only called a 500i W. There’s nothing on it saying Arctic like every other stihl heated handle saw. I haven’t seen another one on eBay since then but it’s worth watching.

I came across on on eBay brand new for $1600 shipped from Hungary and was worried it could be a scam but it wasn’t. Showed up in 3 days via DHL.
