Saw video thread

Don't worry, you haven't missed much.

That is a true statement.

A Remington Super 754 actually hurts my ears which is hard to do !
I've been to a bunch of storm clean ups at the coast and recently inland . I love running a big chipper, they make an insane amount of work dissappear! But standing at the mouth of madness for 8-10 hrs is LOUD! Good hearing protection is a must even though your body vibrates to the rhythm of a big diesel.
Perspective.

The guys who help us process firewood complain sometimes about the obnoxious saws though....

Randy, my dear neighbor, 2 miles over the hill can hear Steve's @Stump Shot 372 darling dancing away.
Puts a Big 'O stupid smile on my face each time.

A passing car with loud music inside makes me smile but I wouldn't want to sit there for more than fifteen minutes

My neighbors aren't as impressed with my chainsaws as I had hoped they would be.

I had a dumb idea that actually worked for once

56DL, .325, 063 setup on a MS170. Took a little bit of messing around to make it work but its better than I expected

Nice to see that it worked, but why?
Can’t make fun in my opinion. Put that bar chain combo on a very big saw, that would make fun

I was replacing the clutch springs on a Ms250 and it dawned on me they are the same clutch and drum. Then I spent a few weeks wondering if the 170 could do it

I can't think of any practical reasons to do this other than I could. 3/8 6 is extremely close to a 325 7 in terms of chain speed so it was just a matter of if it could pull the bigger kerf

Few videos from today. This wood has been out there since the spring in full sun. It was quite solid.

The 359 is interesting, it came to me as a parts saw with a ported cylinder. I had a lot of extra parts laying around and had enough for just about a complete saw. Original piston looked pretty good but had some hours. Put a meteor piston in this one.

MS440 was a little underwhelming. Stock.

The 346xp was okay but just needs a little more ‘zip’. I had not touched the uppers on this one, squish/base cut and some port widening.

The P100 SUPER turns slower but is harder to stop with this setup

This is on the edge of what it can do but it did get the job done for me for a while until I bought a bigger saw.

It has spend most of its time over the last few years pulling shortish 3/8 setups just because I like running it. This video was just to show that it can do it if needed and it is possible to run 404 on "small" saws

Solo 50 is the company's third 50cc chainsaw with a 404 chain / The Stihl company also released saws with this chain later in the 1960s and 1970s

It was common to find a 54cc McCulloch or others with .404 chain.

In the past, emphasis was placed on the durability of the chain and saw, and only later the speed was increased and the weight of the equipment was reduced, which forced the use of smaller chains.

 

[Squish9]

I have a few Stihl 08S saws that run 17" or 21" 404. They use it to try and create some chain speed for the low reving older stuff

 

[Partner]

I also watched 07 with the 404 chain

@Woodslasher and I swapped bars, chains, and air filters to minimize variables and ran this against another ported 346. This one was 4 seconds faster.

There's a Hybrid thread that shows the poulan 346xp saw.

Probably my 2 favorite saws
