Ive tried .375 , PS, and .325 on my 550xp. PS was faster on mine

Which was slowest? Have you done this with the 346?

Edited my post above. Oregon likes to try & confuse us don't they.

Lol!! I just wanna be sure so I dont confuse anybody. Im seeing lgx is full chisel non safety, lpx full chisel safety, and bgx semi chisel? I know the Semi piccoo on my 241 was 1.5 sec slower than PS

Kinda. Oregon changes the prefixes with the pitches so it can get hard to follow. And they don't make any non saftey .325.

On my 550 in a 10×12:

Bpx: 13.24

Out of the box lpx: 12.40

Gullets cleaned & bumpers removed lpx: 11.04

Gullets cleaned rs: 9.27

Ya . It had different results. My 550 is stock and not broken in but I also probably didnt give the saw enough time t reset either between chains

100% and sincerely not to bash Brad,

RPM in the cut can mean many things. My dull chains get more RPM in the cut than a fresh factory Stihl RS chain.

Everyone sees the point here.

Factory stihl rs is a joke,I honestly thought there was something wrong with it when I tried it but it's just that slow.

Hope no one mistakes me saying Brads 346 wasnt a cuttin son of a gun. It was a nice saw no doubt. The 241 was no slouch for a 42cc saw either but I sold it and sent her on down the line

 

[DexterDay]

Yes PS. The .325 was lgx

Of course it was screaming. It wasn't cutting.

I agree. After making the same mistake myself, of comparing saws and not using the same chain.

Unless it's the same chain? It's apples to oranges. I'll never do a test again with different chains.

The test in question is what made the 362C-M so Awesome!!

 

[jmssaws]

Same bar and chain or your just comparing chains. A fast saw can easily be beat with a better chain.
