Disclaimer- this is just how I cut a squish band, not how everyone should cut a squish band.
When looking for parts for a Jonsered saw I ran across a MS361 with scored piston at the Husqvarna dealer. For $75 it had to come home with me.
After using the mastermind method of cylinder cleanup I checked squish with a new piston.
It came in at .014 without .017 thick base gasket. .031 squish is probably fine, but why not try to get .020 without gasket. Time to set up cylinder in mill.
Turns out the cooling fins on the LH side are relatively perpendicular to base.
