Looks like fun stuff but it's not test wood...

Looks like damn good test wood. As long as your saw has torque lol

 

[huskyboy]

At least it's wood at all. Logs this size are hard to come by free.

Just not consistent to compare saws Dave. But great wood to try saws in.

I like test wood that has knots in it and the harder the better poplar and pine are can't wood

I'd be happy as hell to have that pile

I'm not Redbull lol I like to test my saws in something that gives them a workout. I like a good clean pine log too just for speed test.

I find people are happy to give it away cuz no one can move it and most people's big saws are 50cc... Fortunately I have equipment that can move it, so I end up with a lot of it.
My dad has some large consistent oak at his place if I need to I can grab.

My neighbor has a very large poplar I'd like to put on the ground.

I need to have a mini gtg at my house to get a very large oak on the ground. I need a few fellas that have alot more experience than me to let me know that I'm doing it right lol.

That big pine log is a better test than a lot of oak. It will gum up the kerf and everything with chips. Cutting big oak isn't that hard compared to softer woods that are sticky.

I agree. Alota loblolly here and once it sets up and starts to turn to lighter pine it will eat a chain up

Moving the subject off from test wood and back onto 1128 chainsaws! So now I've got my 044 stripped and I await the arrival of the 460 jug, I wanted to ask you guys about this feature with the way the output and the ignition side of the crank casings are cast......see right here:


in other words, is it just my 044 casings, that don't align too good......there must be about a 2-3mm misalignment step as pointed to by those green arrows.....what's the deal here fellas?

Second question, while I'm in an arty-farty mood I annotated another pic of the top of the crank flange:



on my 044, not all of the flange is bored out circular (i.e. the red shaded areas). You can see why - if it was then it would infringe on the thickness of the material used in the casings for the bearing bosses (output side) and the case side wall (ignition side). Is this a feature you see on a lot of saws - due to space and wall thicknesses being at a premium?

Wondered if anyone else had ever pondered these weird and wonderful matters.......(*confused emoji*)..

I'm all for getting together like last year Dan.
After the heat breaks, lets see if we cant get our 90cc saws lined up and load them good

If you were closer to me, I'd be there with my saws and a case of XXX's ............... we would knock down both, that tree and you !!

Yeah! That's exactly what I was thinking of doing!

Just a little bit of time with the ol' dremel......probably get slightly better gas flow?
