jeff i think we have problems with file size and need to switch them out

How did you make out with the files Dallas?

I checked my chain with the gauge. The rakers were a little low. However, the biggest thing I noticed was that the 2 in 1 files must be defaulted to 25 degree angle to sharpen the teeth. I think the teeth on my 3/8" chain is supposed to be 30 degrees. I could see the witness marks were not matching up. I brought the chain back to 30 degrees on the tooth angle. I think I took about 8 strokes per tooth. The chain cut much better than in the video. I still need to go a little more to get the chain back to almost perfect.
But I learned that the 2 in 1 file for 7/32" files seem to default to 25 degrees, whereas my chain seems to have witness marks that match up to 30 degrees. Not sure how much it really affects the cut, but bringing the teeth back to 30 seemed to help.

30 will cut faster than 25.

Wonder no more (my 044 w/28" bar & RSL) in 19" Red Oak.

7 pin or 8?

30 will cut faster than 25.

I did a test once Mike with with 30 deg vs 10 deg, and saw no time difference.

Went to my FIL's and we played with his Haddon milling attachment. My first time milling with a saw. This is a piece of a pear tree. Using a 261cm

Nice Dan. That Pear wood seemed like it was very hard. Very nice looking grain. Maybe a bigger saw would have been a little faster?

They both run real good Jason. [emoji106]

It may vary based on what you are cutting, but usually steeper will be faster but not hold an edge as long.

Is the 661 muffler smaller than the 660?

I enjoy watching all kinds of cutting videos but making cuts on something for other purposes than mulch or firewood ads to the entertainment of the video. Would love to see what the grain looks like on a few of those cuts you made.

I used my 460 after but didn't video it.

Here are the other pics I took

Looks like that contraption works similar to my Beam Machine. Does your machine also use a 2x4 as a guide?

It could Mike. It has another piece to bolt on it forth that. I thought with the wider support would keep it square better.

Did the 461 cut any better or faster?
Did you alter your fuel/oil mix?

Maybe 1cc smaller
Stroke is shorter on the 661 but the bore is bigger.

460, not 461. Not really. I couldn't apply pressure cuz you can't use the dogs. Both saws were screaming. The chains are sharp and self feed great while bucking. But just seemed to be skating over this wood. It may have been just super hard. I'll play with it some more. Maybe lower rakers will help.
