Saw video thread

[Hall84]

That's righteous indeed.

Haven’t ran it much, but figured this wood was worthy enough. Put on the 32” with a 8pin and a exl round ground.

This is a great video, I was just reading about how the 385 was so much better than the 288.
Nice comparison.

Both saws have advantages/disadvantages, so I think it would come down to personal preference. I ran 288s in the woods for ten years and they're still a great saw in my book. Mason's video is an excellent comparison.

I do appreciate the little video comparisons that guys put up. I just don't take too many opinions on faith after running some of the older models that are looked down on for the new.
After running a MS441 it kind of made me realize that personal preference plays a huge role for some or just the allure of "new" stuff.

New ish saw. Wood ported. 28” 7T with and overly aggressive 3/8 square chain. I couldn’t find my 8T rim and didn’t see a point running a longer bar when a 28” would long enough.

Brand new ms261 arctic woods ported.
Little comparison. 23rsp out of the box vs 23rsp square.
First vid is stock chain. Second vid is square

Nice Mike. Pumping some nice saws out.

Thanks Mike for the build and the chain comparison.

I’m going to try a 3/8 picco set up on the 261.
I’m not sure if it will be any faster then the 23rsp. The 3/8 picco rim is bigger and the chain has less teeth. Anybody have any guesses?

I bet 3/8p is faster in smaller wood. Up to 12” or so.

I’d say you’re probably right about that in smaller wood.

Just so happens I have been playing with NK stuff. Low pro didn’t work on on the 6100 with the danzco 8 pin rim, burred the drive links. Will test again 7 pin.

same wood/log.

254 fun
made smaller muffler exit. and swapped 28" light bar to it.
3/8" c85 chain
tought i had carb issues but weather was cold/moist and was freezing carb. even the recoil started to frosting

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice. 28 is just a bit to much first that saw.

That 350/346 is absolutely ripping...

That 350/346 is absolutely ripping...

I ran a 2150 by him at the GTG...most impressive 50cc I've run. I may have to put one of those on the wanted list.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Both look and sound great! Nice looking test log too...

 

[Canadian farm boy]

In that block of wood the rsp is a touch faster then the picco with the square rsp being the fastest.
Here’s the 7T .325 rim vs the 7T picco rim.

 

[RI Chevy]

You need one of these guys. Same size as Pico 7 pin.
