Saw video thread

Lol. ok. I was confusicated. [emoji2957]

 

[huskyboy]

I'm just a simple guy. Lol

You already know I prefer 7 pin and a good cutting full comp that is setup to bite good for worksaw. I like the torque and the bars last longer. But if a saw is faster with a bigger sprocket... it’s faster. Just interesting to experiment.

On a 60cc Hooskie 262? [emoji15]

Yeth

I guess I gotta speriment moar!

I'd like to see some tree monkey ported saws...in solidarity of mr Scott Kunz. Here's to a speedy and full recovery sir.

Jeff, a lot of those chains were just "off the roll" that way from the factory, but I have dropped the rakers on some of them.

I brought 20 saws … I was just glad I got to sharpen most of them!

That said, a few of them did pretty good, at both GTGs!

@RI Chevy ... yes a 8 and 9 pin can be faster than a 7 pin if you have a @mdavlee ported 390xp to test with... cuts were timed from moment saw hit wood to when the cookie moved from being cut all the way through. 32” bar with semi skip chain in oak. Chain was sharp.

54.35 seconds (it was raining in this video lol)

53.07 seconds

53.54 seconds

For work I would still use the 7 pin, the time difference is so small

As a work setup a 8 tooth sprocket does nothing for me!
I mostly buck turkey oak, very dense stuff - even my PS-7900 feels better set up with a 7T.

Fresh beech might be fun to buck with an 8T, but I never bothered trying.
If I buck beech then it's someone else's firewood, in which case I tend not to play around.

I think I can get a decent edge on my chains, I am round filing.

I agree, for work I prefer the increased torque with a 7 pin despite the saw being faster with the other sprockets.

Takes power to pull a larger sprocket quicker than a small one. Same answer as I gave Jeff using his 460, the 7900 has less torque than a ported 390xp. I think my modded 7900 might come close to the 390 in that size wood with a 7 pin though. I should test that. Lol

I put my sawz all back to 7 pins. I feel the 7 pin with a real good chain is equal to an 8 pin with average chain.
Only time larger sprockets work for me is using smaller bars on bigger saws and cutting soft wood.

7 pins are so small though... it’s like puttin 15” rims on your vehilce.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Yup

You know it’s badass when the sprocket is as big as the clutch drum. Lol

My car's got 15" tyres, what's wrong with that?!

As a universal work setup 7T rules IMHO.
8T is a matter of personal preference.
9T and above is just for play.

Fixed an old 372. It looked very good inside, just not outside.

 

[RI Chevy]

Is it all stock?

 

[Nutball]

Nope: AM starter pulley.

A OE right? Guessing by the sound and sticker.
