Inside the MS462C

I've got one cut further than that somewhere. Pretty much the whole sprocket is uncovered.

I saw a DDave video that had something like that.

It was a necessity

It worked well Wayne. I am going to make one too when I get some time from a beat up cover.

..whats the "B" for ?

 

[nohoff]

Beautiful?

..whats the "B" for ?

I was asking Mike Lee is I should go with cut line A or B. He said B I was cutting it as I was posting

 

[Redfin]

With all the emphasis on how light it is I can't wait to see how it's gonna balance bars 28" and bigger.

I have an idea and it probably won't be like I would want

I'm more curious about the oiler.

Why would you listen to Mike ?

He's a ported saw punisher.

The oiler is no problem it has the same system as the MS 661.
Push the pin in and have fun with a lot of oil.

661 was stingy to me with a 34"

I'd like to hear some input from the design team, not marketing, as to what their intent/target audience for this saw was or what the build criteria was. To me it seems like they set out to build the best 20" bar saw available. And going by bar length, not cc, that gives it a very broad range of saws to compare with. It's for the many guys around here that run a 440/460 with a 20" bar to cut firewood with and have a 28" bar laying around for the occasional big-un. Now they can have that same power with less weight. Seems like a win-win. Or the professional arborist who is looking for a new midsize saw. Its going to be hard to not notice the 60cc class weight and 70cc class power. I think it will be a major hit with everyone but those who shop strictly on price. If you use a saw for a living, price should be the very last consideration when buying a saw. In the scheme of a saws life, the purchase price is minimal compared to the revenue it can produce. I don't see this being the next legendary PNW saw but I've been wrong before. I'm betting it sells very well in the eastern part of the US.

The MS 500i will be the next legendary saw.
We have a customer who is in the official Stihl championship team and they already had a chance to use this beast.
He tried the MS 462 for some days and was very disappointed.
