Stupid me never weighed it before I started milling so not sure on exact weight. It’s noticeably lighter though. It’ll almost balance on the 92 now.

Nice work. Got a 42 myself that needs to go on a diet.
She's virgin .... never spun a chain.

I will. Yours looks to be an Oregon? That's what I have. I'll have to dig it out and weigh it. Be a couple days before I have time to.
Had heavy wet snow here couple days ago. It put a cedar in the driveway. I pushed it aside and haven't gotten to it yet. Just opened up part 2 of my roof job. Can o worms with rotten decking and rafters. I'll try to weigh it on Sunday. Shoot me a reminder if ya will.

Oh man! Sounds like you got plenty of more important things to worry about, whenever you get to it. Quite a few people have asked how much I lost and I can’t say at the moment. It’s definitely a noticeable amount I know. Whenever you get to it is fine, and yes it’s an Oregon

Bad weather days and Sundays are my slow days. I use em to get stuff done around the house and lounge in the morning before i start my day. I always find the time. Organizing my time can be the tricky part. LOL

The thing with the cedar is, my tenants house is on the other side of the driveway. She works 3rd shift and I'm trying to get to it when I know she's not sleeping during the day. She's a good tenant and I'm trying to be respectful. So, yea, I have the time. Its just an organizing issue.

The Oregon Reduced Weight bar in a 36” length takes 1 1/2 pounds of standard solid bar

It’s less floppy than my 36” Oregon RW bar. That’s the reason I didn’t mill the whole center out like Oregon’s are. Leaving the space between the cut outs seemed to help the regidity

Yes I do, but then again they’re my thing and have done all my saws with the same style and for others as well
