I use 2 climbing/top-handled saws, 25cc and 32cc (12" and 16"), anyway my 25cc is my favorite saw ever to use it is so stiff, my 32cc on the other hand is one of the sloppiest saws I've ever owned.
The 25cc isn't really designed for anti-vibe there's only 1 mount for AV and it does little, the 32cc has 'annular buffers' or whatever those AV things/grommets/rubber-gaskets & springs at all 3 of the handlebar connections to the powerhead...it wobbles so badly!!!
Am thinking to just cut-to-fit maybe 2-3 chunks of super hard rubber (motor-mount rubber blocks carved to fit) to use as wedges in-between the powerhead and the handlebars, just slap some JB weld or epoxy on them and jam them in-between the handlebars // powerhead to effectively eliminate movement / make it a zero-antivibe saw....is this dumb / am I setting-up for unforeseen consequences? Maybe once you get past 25cc you really do need some AV? Thanks for any input!!
PS- anyone ever seen kits/mods to put wraparound bars on a top-handle? My immediate thought is "it'd be bulky" but can't shake the idea that a few key handlebar mods would make certain cuts far, far easier to work-through!!
