Are you happy with the saw now J or are you still gonna keep looking for more from it?
It looks pretty freaking good to me.

Need a wide tail bar to stop throwing it,I have it tight as a fiddle string but it will still throw it

Does the direction the rim is facing make any difference?

Is this the summer Olympics? Or the summer of ass? Good lord those high cut buttons have made so many events watchable.

Seems to be pretty stout with a long bar.
Brand new rs 404 32" buried

Saw looks good! Looks like you've got a river flowing there...

I used the stopwatch on my phone so it is not 100% accurate.

064/56- 2.3, 2.4
066- 2.1, 2.3
064- 2.6, 2.6

Looks like the 066 still has the upper hand. Is there more in this saw Jason?

What saw out of these would run a 36 inch bar for stumping and large bucking the best the 066 064 or this hybrid?

I don't know that you could tell any difference in them working but the 056 will have more grunt

There's always more.
My 066 was 3sec faster with the 32" anybody time it again?

on the Dansco rims the tooth pocket is offset, to allow you to adjust the alignment more precisely with the natural chain path from the bar, you want the chain to turn freely with the engine off with no hickups or catches in the rotation at all
also look at the chain from the end of the bar and make sure it isn't bound or tweaked at the sprocket
when they get going everything needs to be right
It is sometimes worth buying an old wide bodied bar with a nice tip in some oddball mount so that you can modify it to more safely run larger sprockets with race chain

Gotta get that *b-wordin 395 dusted off and fire it up!

He won't need it if he builds himself a 064/056

Would a chain catcher have helped? Not sure how they really work.

I've had them stop it on a dime a few times, and I won't run a saw w/o one. I think I have had to install a new one on every used saw I have purchased, save for one. I bought a little supply of them, but I'm down to one!

Had to replace the one on the 362 also, when a chain the shop put together for me failed! But the catcher saved me from it!

 

[RI Chevy]

What kind of catcher are you using Mike? The roller on the dogs, or the saw mounted catcher?

The regular aluminum saw mounted catcher. They work (at least a couple of times), and are cheap to replace.

 

[RI Chevy]

Ok. Thanks Mike.
You get the genuine Stihl, or the cheap copy?

 

[jmssaws]

I've pretty much ran a saw my entire life and most every day for the last many years and knock on wood the only time I've been cut was from throwing a chain.

I use the roller between the dogs.
Dave has them and there cheap

Yes.

I bought a batch of OEM from Mark, they don't cost much. They are lighter than rollers, and I don't have to mess with it when I remove the chain cover. I usually like to keep it simple!
