Here’s why I thought to post the echo. This is a clamshell open port 345 husky I ported with no machine work and I swear it felt stronger than the cs490 that had machining and porting.

I believe it, I'm in the process of reporting a 490 turd I made last year. I thought I really messed it up, but it looks fixable. It's just so hard to see how things really look sometimes at the work bench with the lighting I have until I get it clean and under a lamp. My best 490 had no machine work and ran excellent.

The cs490 are like the 350/353 husky to me. I think the answer for that wasn’t machining rather than just epoxy the upper transfers and getting the blowdown right. Just my opinion.

Oh damm, I've fast-forwarded to the point where he starts the saw.

I'm undecided if I want to go back into this to see if I can find a little more RPM. It has great power but it likes to cut a little below 10k.

Nice job on that!

 

[MustangMike]

Looks strong to me.

What sprocket is it pulling? It sounds solid and pulling hard

Looks like the tree sebenty too was a hard one to beat. In all seriousness both saws run pretty good. Nice Job Mason

This is my ms460 that randy did for me back in 2012 .
It was ported more for torque than rpm , in this vid the chain needs a rub its STIHL 46rm and holds around 10 000rpm in the cut .
Wood is dead stringy bark from memory it's a tad harder than oak .

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice guys!

Thanks Austin, I find the 50mm 372 oe to be more than competitive with any of the new stuff despite its age.
