Saw video thread

Bar adapters finally came in to run the 41” cannon on the 2100. Had to go 14mm from the 880 down to 9mm on the husky. Saw came with a .404 sprocket so figured the combo is where a 2100 would shine. First time cutting with it after a rebuild and putting some heat through the engine. I’ll play with the high jet as it breaks in, but she runs strong! I can see why they were so broadly liked and respected.

Saw has some port work, timing advance and a dual port muffler. Doesn’t feel to big and bulky either for a 99cc saw, I really like it.

Nice job. Torque monster.

Saws have come a long way in efficiency. But both run very nice. Very cool that you adapted the modern bar/chain to the old saw.

Good job, I have had my helmet save me from some pretty hard knocks.

The XS ported Dolmar 7900. This might be new favorite saw. Ive got it tuned at 14k no load with the muffler. The pipe and more juice would make it faster but ita pretty quick. This on on the round filed full chisel full skip thay Nutball sent with the saw. 8 tooth rim. I also have some square ground race chain and a 9 pin for get together fun. Wood is 17" Virginia Pine I cut last year.

My XS 7900 is probably my favorite and most used/useful as well.

My chain won't self feed! lol
Thought some might find this an interesting comparison just farting about doing some cuts chain is new out the box Stihl picco 0.43 safety chain.
The softwood is our native Cypress not exactly speed wood having the same janka hardness as White Oak but was only thing I has on hand that I'd call softwood.
The hardwood is Narrow Leaf Red Ironbark.
I don't know of a slower way to cut hard hardwoods than dogs off self feeding personally would be a good way to melt a saw lol
A bit of pressure with the dogs calms the chain down stops it skipping over the wood and allows it to it take a bite.
I don't normally try to rip cut Ironbark with a ms170 be a good way to blow one up as you can see in the vid lol

One thing I gotta know,
I imagine that early on people used native wood stock to build houses, did you guys have to use "square cut"nails ,forged like masonry nails.

Nice comparison @rogue60

I'm not sure what they did you can't get a nail in a lot of our hardwoods no matter what kind of nail it is. You have to pre drill every nail hole.

Seemed like the 394 had a little more torque I'm not surprised.

Here's my stock 394xp, just showing off my new bar from @Duke Thieroff
