Let's Talk TachsTachs

[Miller Mod Saws]

I want to do more than just talk tachs I want some advice. Currently I have 3. Why 3 well that's a long story. But the most used is probably the oppama corded tach. I like the corded ones as the have the best cycle rate. Best overall for 1 tach operation would probably go to the dti 20k, and the stihl well its my least favorite. Only bought it because I thought I needed it for the 661cm builds. Know all this said. I would like some really small corded tachs I can just 2 sided tape to the top of the saw and run. I do want corded so I can just tape the wire to the coil wire. Any recommendations?

You should probably just record your rpm's. Those spectrum analyzer thingies be more better.












Apparently

Sorry tho. No real experience with tachs

 

[fordf150]

not much help but this is all i use.

 

[huskihl]

@PullinMyPoulan has the one you want. He can tell you what his is

I have the Hardline tack on my saws, but my DTI-20K refreshes faster

 

[Red97]

I like the dti tach

Easy enough to hold while making a cut, and the max rpm feature is handy.

But is the only one I have used.

I have this elcheapo that is use. It works pretty well and for the price you can put one on every saw. Unfortunalty it will not work well on my xpg saw.

The best I've found is a stihl d-303 I think.

 

[jmssaws]

Just looked it's a det-303, it's the fastest tach I've used and I have tried a bunch.

Carl, if you want to try the one like landmark has, pm your addy and I send ya one.



EDIT: ooopppps, just seen you're wanting a wireless.

I have use about all kinds of tachs , from cheapo , oppamas , stihls , husqys fast tachs , slow tachs until the stihl MDG1 if you put them to the same chainsaw under the same conditions you will notice small deferences in readings from one to other
so i cant really tell if the MDG1 that cost 1000 is more accurate from a tach wich cost 100 , or if the oppamas are better than the fast tachs
personally i use them for just having a first idea about where my rpms are but always i make the combination ears + tach this work better for me
i have notice diferent readings from the same tach when is cord conect and when is no cord conect
i have notice than the saw not four strocking when i put the H rpms only with the tach and with the numbers that the factory tell
So again ears+ tach and some cuts in the wood will give you the best results

for what you buy ? MDG1 work from a ms 170 to a 661 to a efi concrate saws................... ALL IN ONE

Yea. The one on your mmws 346 was a little hard wired one. Worked well

[Miller Mod Saws]

This style is what I would have bought! Then I thought! Post her up and see what's working good for everyone else! Lol.

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

And this tach looks identical to the TTO tach with a different name. Lmao!
