Duane PA 026

I saw that face in the second vid, but I just thought I was crazy!

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I am planning to run 3/8 x 16
Kind of just ran what was on it for the pine wood derby lol
Can't get a good pic on muh phone
Anthony squared up the .325
I am set up to grind 3/8 and don't like the idea of changing back & forth.

My 026s run best with 3/8 square file 16" bar. But i like .325 with 8 pin 18" bar too. [emoji106]

I agree Jeff. I’d like to see this ripper with a proper race loop of 3/8. Hmm,,

 

[RI Chevy]

These "out of the box" saws really intrigue me. Don't matter what brand, but these saws are really cool!

 

[Duane(Pa)]

I like saws that sound cool. If they cut fast, well that is just icing on the cake.

Chain? Someone say chain?

 

[Wonkydonkey]

Is this gonna turn into a chain thread, like the oil thread, lol

 

[RI Chevy]

Wouldn't be a real thread without a derailment or 2! LOL

I don't have an 026 anymore, but I've tried several combos on my TM261 both before and after it went under the knife. I've found .325 on a 16" bar to be my favorite. Light weight and nimble for limbing. .325 7 pin sprocket gives it real nice lean-on-ability for bucking plus it's super smooth. I do swap it out for 3/8 semi chisel for bucking dirty wood though.

I’ve tried 3/8lp and 16 and 18” .325 set ups.

Currently, I’m running a Cannon 18” .325 stihl chain from AP’sbar shop that I’m digging. Not sure if Anthony did something special to it but it’s the best .325 I’ve ever run. Running an 8 pin on the 026pro Mofo with zero complaints @drf256

 

[RI Chevy]

I run 18" .325 Tsumura bar with .325 round file Stihl or Oregon chain for working.
OR, I use the 16" 3/8 Tsumura full chisel chain.
MOFOs run anything well!

My most recent 261cm likes 3/8 18" full chisel and square.
I will try the 16" 3/8 Tsumura setup soon.

I haven't tried .325 yet.

Square ground right? I was pretty happy with it. Stayed up in RPM where it likes to run. I left Jeep door open by mistake, filled the floor with beautiful chips !!

Agree! The MOFO will yank heck out of any chain you put on. lol

I will make some vids of the other 026 too. It is totally berserk as well. Such fun!

 

[RI Chevy]

I will do some 026/ 261cm comparisons as well. [emoji106][emoji16]

Gonna bring both to the upcoming gtg? Can probably square off another piece of wood. Not scientific but good enough for who it’s for. Lol
