Saw video thread

Almost new 562XP. 12 hours on it. Did a little go fast work to it.

Nice Rich. Holds steady rpms.

Fresh off the bench. Brand new and ported. It’s got about a 1/2 tank through it total in the video. Running the 18” bar and .325 semi chisel safety chain it came with.

Very nice
Would be cool to see some 3/8 on it man whatarippa.

Thanks Gunner. I actually wanted to run it with 3/8 but I seem to of misplaced all my small spline 3/8 sprockets. I’ll have to add a couple of those to my next parts order.

Nice Mike. 3/8 will let the hp do the work. Interesting to see how the Autotune will handle the higher load.

More teeth on .325", narrower kerf too, makes it smoother, maybe even faster?

For whatever reason, I like the feel of .325" better than 3/8", both Stihl RS - on my PS-9010.

I feel the same way Wilhelm. But in light of the info garnered from the dyno thread, 3/8 may be better for saws fully ported. Use the chain that keeps the saw in the power band. I am continuing to test, but keep my options open.

My Makita 9000 was 10-15% faster with a 8 pin vs 7 pin 3/8 with a 32” full comp chain in red oak much to my surprise. I still like 7 pin on .325, 3/8 and .404 for working though and will just file the chain a little more aggressive to compensate.

Forgot to mention, I run 9 pin .325" and 8 pin 3/8" 24" hard nose on my PS-9010.

.325" just feels faster, maybe I'm wrong though.

I am still looking to source a .404" loop for this bar and saw.

I like an 8 pin more, then a aggressive field chain. I think it is more relaxed to work with, as a grabby chain

It’s possible to get aggressive and smooth at the same time but it’s a very very fine line though.

Got to give my 359 a good running yesterday in some nice oak logs!

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice Dan. 20" square?

All orange goodness. Nice test log too.

 

[huskyboy]

Stock makita 6421. I ran it stock first then split the muffler and removed all the cat junk inside and ran it same chain same log. Didn’t even touch the carb settings lol. It gained 27%. After doing this little test, I honestly couldn’t recommend to anyone to get a port job for a 6400/6421. Some saws don’t even gain this much from a full house port job. I have a 6421 myself that I ported, it gained good... was a fun build. But it wasn’t really worth the time for the gain over the muffler mod. If a guy wants more power from this chassis... spend the money you would on porting the 64cc cylinder for a 79cc 7900 cylinder. Then port that. Lol

Nice job Mason.
