What length bar?
3/8 or 404 chain?

Thats obvious. Its heavy!! 390 is heavy IMO too

I agree. Your 390 felt as heavy as my 660. Guess I'm getting old and weak.

 

[Keith Gandy]

Lightweight bars and enough length to balance them helps 100%

 

[TreeLife]

Always wanted a 394 or 395

60mm 166 Dolmar probably has the best[emoji41]

118cc engine on the Dolmar 166?

 

[mdavlee]

118cc engine on the Dolmar 166?
Milling - 395, 880, or 3120?

136cc. 166 is normally a 56mm.

 

[rocco490]

my mmws 3120 has pretty good torque and the mmws 395s are strong too

But if used at the appropriate time like bucking, the weight helps drive it thru the cut.

That also seems to be the case with longer bars. Seems like I work, or bend over, less when bucking with a 28" compared to my 20" bars. The shorter bars will kick-back more than the longer bars too.

Most torque in saws that I've ran has to be a old gear drive saw of any variety. A old Mac geardrive is unbelievable. Slow but you can't slow it down.

By far, the most impressive saw I have run to date.

I need to try one out

For serious milling.......buy a band saw.

True story,chainsaw milling is a hobby and a 'ell of a lot of work .

I've got a Mac 650 geardrive that I modified to fit an 8 tooth 1/2" spur from a Homelite .It's not slow like most,has a 2 to 1 reduction but that pot licker is heavy as lead .It will chew through anything and never hiccup .Shelf queen most of the time .
