Wow! I think I need to procure a 9 or ten pin rim. I don't have a long bar...

Jason's saw feels stronger, I can dog it in harder, but it's full comp chain and got clogged if I did as you saw on the 3rd cut of both.
Neither of these saws is a slouch!

I've ran deets saw, it's a great running and looking saw. To bad he's a *a-hole.

You have to set the chains up different for 9 pins. 10 pins you have to shape the heel of the bar and shorten it a little or you'll toss chains all time.

What length is that bar? I might have a chain here I can fix where you can get plenty of load with the 8 and might have to go back to a 7.

Good to know about the larger rims. Thanks

Do you happen to have any pictures of the modified bar tails?

I"ll go look for a full comp loop to file.

I have one cut down for 9 pin. I'll get a picture shortly when I go look for chains.

 

[MustangMike]

I was gonna say, both saws look real strong (especially w/8 pin) but Jason's looked to be just a hair faster!

Nice job on the saw to both of you!

Full comp or semi skip?

Looks easy enough to do. I assume if you wanted to run a 10T sprocket you would just cut more off?

When you said "set the chains up different" are you referring to raker heights or?

Pretty much. I run higher rakers and will load a saw hard with angles on the tooth. One chain was too aggressive for Jason's 064 with a 9 pin. Rakers were just barely touched and the teeth filed a couple times

 

[jmssaws]

A chain that's fast with a 8pin might be slower with a 9,it's all in how you set the chain.

A chain can be wicked fast with factory rakers.

 

[hseII]

His is like mine,bout 14k is where there strongest

Yup

Do y'all leave them @ 14k?

My stickers 660 seems to do the best around 14k as well.

All of them I build tune around 14 and that's where I keep them.
