Who needs a race chain when one can just utilize some speed wood.


MMWS6100 gained ~200% cutting speed going through that beech log ~20" diameter.
The log looked good from both sides so it surprised me how fast the 6100 went through it, once I knocked one of the rounds over the surprise turned into disappointment.
This is the first log in my current firewood log pile that is rotten, one ash was hollow as is another awaiting being bucked.

It's quite hilarious how many cookie cutting videos are out there on the net ripping through powder dry rotten logs.
Also little 8"×8" timbers that should only be reserved for 50cc stock saws

You wanna test Your saw & chain, try fresh or dry turkey oak, or dry beech!
Dry locust is also a biatc# to buck, sadly I can not get it anymore for firewood.

All my videos are "real", nothing staged - some of my viewers commended that.

Cause everyone races in hedge?

Races happen in softwoods. I don’t want to test my chains in rock hard stuff that won’t have any good feedback for what I am racing in. Test in the same wood you will race in and time chains in the same pc of wood to see time differences.

If you can’t “stuff” your saw in a 10” piece of pine, then you can’t file a chain

So you're saying after spending 40 hours on a race chain, you don't wanna hammer it WOT into a 15" piece of bone dry locust?


How ya think this wood do it that situation?
