Saw video thread

Are you talking stock ones here?

Both.

 

[huskyboy]

IMO, if a cylinder need machine work or not often depends on the starting #s.

Some cylinders, from the same model saw, will benefit from it a lot more than others.

Couldn’t have said it any better.

Both

I have a 288 I’d put up against most peoples 394’s.

Send it here.

Send it here.

But really, the real question is how would a scarr 288 do against a scarr 394?

 

[huskyboy]

There is more to absolute all out power in a timed cut though imo. I would probably choose a 066/660 over a 394 for certain things and a 394 over a 066/660 for certain things. Oh and a 395 over either one of them. Personal preference. Lol

Might depend on the size of wood, and stock saws very a ton! Some killer stock saws and some duds, especially in the 660’s only ran one 288 and one stock 394,

The 394 would take the W there. Maybe someday I'll build another 394 and run the 288 against it to see how far off it would be.

That I would love to see

Your 288 is insane……

I have Mike in MI @XP for Life testing this 272 recipe for me cutting his firewood. Don’t know how it will hold up for longevity but it’s an aftermarket cylinder and I can always send him an OEM one that’s more tamed.

Just put the 395 head on the 288 silly… u know you can do it. Probably beat em all. At least till something breaks. Lol

394 vs 660. 24” 8t test. Wouldn’t notice any difference in this size wood with 7t. The 394 is absolutely faster cutting. However when I pull hard on both the 660 having 60+psi more compression doesn’t care a bit. Hardly a scientific test at all. But I wanted to see if the old 394 could still have its sporty nature ported and only 145psi. It’s over square bore/stroke sure likes to rev with some good port timing. Having said all that if I were felling with a long bar I’d grab the 660 for sure I did some testing stopped in the cut and starting back up and it didn’t care at all. Bot saws run great.

Yup, pretty much what I found, except my 066 pulls a few more rpms.
I also like .404 chain on the 394xp it just seems to eat wood with that set up.
Ill have to run my Super1050a Homelite with them some time it has a 36" with .404 and an 8 pin.

Sure is fun to play with different things. I may try 404. I never used it

Let me know what bar you end up with if you do try .404, I got a few extra loops around.

It will be a while. I’m working an outage and playing with saws after I get off

Why not a 2100 crank too?

His 394's are no slouch either.
