Saw video thread

He's got 2 066's. He could put one on each end

Might pull it

 

[Definitive Dave]

been a busy boy trying to get ready for Saturday and generally playing with more saws than usual

Lee Witten 076 Super Hi-Rise, I went up to a 11 pin sprocket and I am going to back down to 10, it is a little too easy to stuff the way it sits.

 

[Definitive Dave]

Finally got a chance to actually make a few cuts with this beautiful west coast saw.
I need tuning help badly, I cant really hear what this one is doing so I shut it down quick, but it seems like it is going to be fast once it gets a good chain on it.
I shot video from two angles so I could see the cant end-on for timing and could watch all the dumb mistakes I make as well.

i think you need more rpm lol

I pulled the Mofo MS260 down from the shelf to try a nice fast picco chain with 9 pin sprocket.
I might have been faster with an 8 (or even 7) but this is like cutting butter, no chatter at all.
Smoothest cut I may have ever felt.

After a few cuts I wanted to see if there was a little more in the tank so i bumped the high just a tiny smidgeon, it sounded good to me at the time, but it may have slowed the saw down a little.

I had full comp 130dl. Skip for the 50" loops.

Ive filed a 50" 404 full comp many times
Takes a good bit.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice Dave. You can be on Team Stihl! [emoji106]

 

[jmssaws]

Skip must be for those Husky saws. Lol

I have been porting lots of 372,394,395's here lately and I don't really like how any of them feel accept a 394/5 but like it or not they on average are faster than a stihl and actually there easier to work on because they are super easy to take apart.
3 or 4 bolts will get most of them completely apart.

Only bad part is trying to fix all the stripped bolt holes and find enough bolts to put it back together but after that you'll have a darn good running saw.

 

[RI Chevy]

I hear you Jason. They run well for sure.

 

[dall]

if you use stihl screws in them they dont fall apart

 

[RI Chevy]

They are betterer.

Mild locktite on everything that is not coming off with any frequency is my motto

I do use stihl screws in them,there all I have.

I had a 395 for many years and the only thing that would fall off it was the muffler and coil.
Yes they will run with no bolts in the coil but make a concerning racket

Yep. I'm hoping the new stihl 70cc will be out soon with less weight than a 442.

I ain't a 70cc guy but I do like a 461

442?

441. I think it will be a 442. Looks a lot like a 362 version 2 but 70cc.

 

[X 66 stang347 X]

The 441 is coming back

 

[mdavlee]

The 441 is coming back

Yes. I was told the new one would be out in 2017 as well by more than one person who went to Germany last fall. I'm hoping they're correct.
