Maybe someone can shed some much needed light on what’s causing this saw to have the idle hang up like it is. The saw wouldn’t have more than 10 tanks of fuel through it and it’s been great up until I decided to install a redbeard green weenie oiled filter on it and ever since no matter how many...

Surely it wouldn’t be so simply as reversing the polarity between switch and armature ?

Having reverse would certainly make life easier. Too bad there wasn’t a way to get the older Foredoms to work both ways but I’m guessing the way the armature is wound it’s not possible

Yes I suppose it would be a good idea to have a reversible motor to make work easier and more efficient. Is the SR the one to get??

Thank you for the tip, I watched a bunch of TJ’s video and yes I see how speed and cutter head approach angle can certainly effect how they chatter or keeps it to a minimum. My 182 is Currently sitting with customs so hopefully I’ll see it soon

Ahh ok I do believe I got it now. In the case of a larger cutter head than the shaft size, could a guy possibly put a small flat blade screwdriver just enough inside where the flex shaft tab would go and hold it there just enough to put ample tension on the cutter to lock it in place ?

So it’s a box end wrench ? No other way to tighten it ?

Scratching my head trying to make sense of your statement. It’s not easy having this density of denselessness ;-)

Something to allow me to get into the treetop quicker ?? I’ve been using and love the zigzag and micro pulley underneath the past 7yrs or so. no more buying short split tails used for our friction hitches.always interested in learning new techniques though

Yes sir that’s all I was planning on is just breaking the edge to make sure it’s smooth any ring snatching edges out. Will wet dry paper touch that nicasil at all while chamfering ??

Thankfully I already have a small stash of diamond and blue stones. I figured the stones might be soft enough they wouldn’t hold their profile very long and shy I didn’t order more. So that’s what dulled my single cut burr using it years ago on my 066 jug. That thing wouldn’t cut worth a darn...

I wasn’t sure if my hand would be steady enough to keep a diamond ball along a profile line without making a Gouging mess that I’d maybe have to use something else to clean that jagged line back up

Do the DC burrs tend to naturally chatter more than the Single cut burrs?? If my memory serves me correctly, I believe I remember them getting plugged pretty good with aluminum and trying to pick what I could back out. Then I believe reading spraying WD-40 helps out. I really appreciate the help.

well TJ was good enough to call me back yesterday and i decided I’d breakdown and lay it out once and be done with it. Have the 182 MC hand piece coming along with burrs similar to the ones you mentioned. I spoke with TJ more about the handpieces than burrs. Do the diamond impregnated remove...

Yes I them on eBay. Thank you. What do you guys use to get down into the cylinders to work on the upper transfers ?? I’d love to avoid spending 700 dollars on a speciality right angle hand piece of could find an alternative. I’d also like to think I could get away with right hand cutters only...
