Saw video thread

[drf256]

I cut all day today using Stihl 026 MOFO Worksaw and JMSSAWS 440. 70 degrees and sunny today.
I was using VP fuel with Red Armor at about 36:1.
Both saws ran real strong.
This video duo is comparing .325 and 3/8 Full Chisel chains on 18" bars in the same piece of wood with 7 pin rim sprockets. Both chains were hand filed prior to use by me. Both chains are fairly new.

First video is 026 running .325 chain.

Second video is 026 running 3/8 chain. Full Chisel, not pico.

Overall, the .325 seemed better to me. Smoother in the cut and held higher RPM'S. The 3/8 chain really grabbed the wood and loaded the saw much more than the .325 chain.

The 3/8 was 2 seconds faster through the log.

I wonder what woulda happened if you fattened the saw up a bit more. May have had more torque.

18" 3/8 RS is a lot for a 49cc saw, no matter how well it's built.

Can't even get him to try a 346 or a 7900.

Take a bit more meat off your cutters and leave your rakers where they're at on your 3/8 and will cause less pull/drag and also kick your rpms back up. Should cut faster and smoother.

That's OK, I know it will be right before it leaves.

Know it's hard when you get past the part that had been cut with a saw already and the sound doesn't change. Looking good

34 will be a helleva runner if I ever get around to porting it. Might even give the solo a run

The one @Stihlbro has was hard to beat with a 20"

That's a good running saw

I've been playing with some 2188/390 saws to see how much is in 'em; this is the one that Deets and some of the other guys ran at the TN gtg.

It's a LOT stronger now Deets!!
