The 400 is a surprising upgrade and will likely kick the 362 off the island. Also, what the 440 used to do, the 400 will do better imo.

It took me a good while to get the 362 to really run......but I've got it figured out. In this 12x12 I doubt it will be far behind the 400.

I haven't ran a ported 400, but my non ported 400 is noticably slower than my non ported 044s and 440s in bigger stuff. Smaller stuff it's not very noticeable though. That's not to knock the 400 at all, it's a nice saw for what it is.

I need to run it with a longer bar in bigger wood to be able to answer that question properly. In a 12x12 with a stock chain its impressive to me though.

I'll be running a ported 362 in that same cant, with the same chain tomorrow if I can stand the cold.

Long boring story about how I became anti social. Let's just say that I've been really disappointed in our society for a few years.

It would be a damn good planet...if these damn people weren't here !!!!!

You Gents that create an us and them are not Helping the Situation. Go MEDITATE!!

Explain how I created an us vs them environment to me like I'm 5 years old.

As a matter of fact, I've had to delete several of your posts deriding a certain segment of our population.

Maybe you should take a look at your mirror to see who is actually fueling division.

Just sayin.


OK, I'll take the hit for not realizing I would start a bit of angst. Randy knows I support the idea of another GTG 110%. I was only seeing if his mood had lightened some. I understand how people feel between the major polarization of ideas and opinions in todays society. It has become an 'us and them' mentality. I don't feel that Randy has brought that about, but rather has become bothered that it has upset the general and specific camaraderie we have enjoyed as a group and society. We used to be able to express opinions without our own friends labelling us in some fashion. I enjoy the GTG because I am a closet people person. I enjoy coming, setting up my cook trailer and doing breakfast. I do bring my saws, but to enjoy myself that isn't even needed. Instead of implying or accusing someone of making the situation worse wouldn't it be better to ask what can be done, at our level, to make it better? We have to live in our communities, start there. This forum is a community of sorts, our differences should be left elsewhere. If someone has any issues with what I've said please pm me first to see if their is a form of resolution. If not, feel free to post your negativity in the public view. Personally won't bother me, I've been in some nasty places on this planet, in bad situations and I'm still here. You won't hurt my feelings.

Mr Awesome

PS-Nice work on the saw boss. Keep it to make any comparisons needed before sending it home. I'm going to keep on you about the GTG, but I'll do it by direct messages.

I’m Grateful!

LMAO !!!!!

I'm grateful for a lot of things. The love of a good woman......a healthy family, a few really good friends.

The mess of these past few years has caused me to circle the wagons.....shorten my range. Become more isolated.

Hopefully it's not a permanent situation. I was at one time a person who invited a 100 folks to my place.....and I hugged them every one. Maybe someday.....I'll want to do that again. Not right now though. I'm sorry if you can't understand how I feel. But I'll always do what I feel is right for me and mine.

Well, that didn't work.

Back on track, concerning the piston and it's composition. If it's that much lighter and is just as durable how long before they spread through the lineup? Seems like it shouldn't be that much of a weight savings. What do I know, I'm a firewood hack.

I wish I would have weighed it VS a 50mm aluminum piston. I didn't think about it till it was back together.

I was really trying to avoid the politics ... but since it is already here ...

IMO it is a shame we cannot discuss our opinions w/o folks getting offended.

Freedom of speech is supposed to be a cornerstone of our Country.

There are people who I have been friends with for decades who no longer talk to me because I supported a different political candidate than they do.

I find it ridiculous!

I think we ALL want this Country to be a better place in the future for our children and grandchildren, but this divisiveness is moving it in the opposite direction. Part of what made this such a great Country is people with different ideas figuring out how to work together.
