Saw video thread

On that note.

I was riding with my uncle in his side by side with two deer loaded in the back after a successful hunt when he suddenly stops. Looks around a bit and says, "You know your aunt didn't speak to me for 2 months after I bought this (the side by side)." Then a long dramatic pause. "Totally worth it."

Here is a stock 3120 V's a WKWS ported 394 ripping split posts in Australian White Mahogany... a class 1 hardwood.
Both running Stihl 325 .050 microchisel chain off the roll and a 9 tooth sprocket.

Nice!
And I got busted for praising .325" Stihl RS 9 pin over 3/8" Stihl RS 8 pin on my stock Dolmar PS-9010 bucking turkey oak.

 

[Brewz]

haha ripping this stuff is a bit different to cutting turkeys up.
Its all about using the best horse for the course

Is your 395 ported?

Now it is. 42” .404 full comp raiseman semi chisel work chain in maple.

Nice! Just needed a nudge! Lol sounds good!

Maiden voyage for a 261CM I just finished. Cutting in 90* weather just ain’t so much fun.

 

[Moparmyway]

Same 90 degree suckage
First cut with a newly ported 3120
36" RS
8 tooth
404
Gave everything I had with doggs, no stuffing this one !!

Nice job on the 261cm and 3120 guys...

Thanks, I compared it to a strong 394 this afternoon out of curiosity. The 394 had basic mods anyone could do (gasket delete, timing advance and muffler mod). It was not “ported”. The ported 395 was quicker by about 13-15% and held 1000rpm more in the cut. It had more torque as well. The bar and chain is the same 42” .404 full comp semi chisel on both. Wood is roughly 30-36” red oak.

I’d be curious if I could make up the ground with the 394 after porting. Probably would... or at least come close.

I had my 064 out as well to see if I fixed the low speed tuning issues with the carb.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

WTF? Too dang hot to play chainsaw. This one is a blast from the past

 

[huskyboy]

Testing my ported 7900 with a bored and drilled zama. I destroyed 3 carburetors until I had a better understanding of how the zama works lol.

I might test a HD12 or 296 tilly on it at some point. I think those would gain more. I just wanted to see if I could take what was given from the factory and improve it.

Got the 3003 Oregon 34” light bar mounted up. Off the roll 75CL square grind chain, 3/8 x 9 pin sprocket. Saw is tuned in at 12k even

Saw runs real nice.
Just curious why you used such a long bar with a small piece of wood?

That was the only thing I had handy for test and tune on that bar and chain setup. The bar is a smaller mount Stihl so I had to do some work with the studs and moving the Oiler hole, and wanted to see how it was gonna cut. That big saw only sees use felling and bucking big trees for my tree service, as well as flush cutting stumps. I’ll get up to my dads and get it in some real wood this weekend.

 

[RI Chevy]

Ahh. I see. Cool. Saw certainly runs strong. Nice job.

[huskyboy]

These are probably my favorite size saw class to run. 24” bar, stihl rs 3/8, 7 pin in white pine.

 

[Wilhelm]

I have Stihl RS in 3/8" & .325", the 3/8" feels slower in turkey oak than Oregon LGX - both sharpened with an Archer FastFiler jig.

Like for the PS-7900!

Nice sized speedwood!
