Mastermind Revisits the MS661

[mdavlee]

Most of Madsen's work involes modifying the piston, and they turn out of a lot turds...

Once in a great while it works out but I'm not a fan of their worksaws having bought several brand new.

Yep. They are easily fixed with actual port work and a new piston.

That's what they make Devcon for...

Or toilet paper.

Just saying.

you have obviously found something Randy,
have you figure how you will know if the info on tight bases is relevant to a saw or not.
meaning what is a tight base saw and how do you know if its the right approach or not?

Ok Randy here's a qwick vid of where I ended up. I got some big oak I'm gonna test in but this is a qwicky! This saw is set at .070 from base reset squish to .020. 97/ 121 mains-123 secondaries/ 80 intake. 22° timing advance.

 

[Miller Mod Saws]

Here 100/118-120/83 8 rim. 7 rim on the other vid.

Looks good Carl. I did 118 mains and 121 secondaries.

When these are not flat, would an average of the two be a good indicator of bd? Say your shooting for 25. Ex is 100, would you do 124 mains 126 seconds?

I do. I call 24-26 degrees 25° or or if it's flat well its flat. Lol. Hope that makes sense.

Before you know it, that will be a thing of the past.

Take every chance you are given.

Saw sounds great Carl.

Thank you. It feels good. But something is holding it back. I felt this on the first ones I built. I'll try my best to explain.
Generally on a saw the lighter the hand the more rpm they turn up to a heavy hand to slow them down. These saws to me feel like you can pull them down but from a just a med hand to light hand there the same. Which I guess is good for consistency but it's like there's a wall there. Lol.
