Saw video thread

[Darin]

All I have in my area to "legally" cut is lodgepole/jack pine. Not as sappy as the ponderosa. I only own 3 saws, 2101XP, 075, and Mac 797. Most saw shops here in the PNW only sell 3/8 so that's what I've dialed my saws into run. I've read many articles on skip vs full comp and I'm sure there is a difference, especially in the type and size of wood you are cutting. For me and the big cubes it's 3/8 full skip with the rakers dropped quite a bit. I don't own any fancy filing *s-word, or raker gauges, I can tell when it's time to drop em. They are firewood saws also. So if I happen to rock em by chance I got less cutters to file. All are 36" bars.

I work on more stihls than huskies. While I'm searching for cases for the stihls the huskies are working. I hope the 661 cases stand up better than the 46 and 66.

I don't have much trouble out of a 066/660 case but I have a truck load of 044 and 046 cases that are beat out on the pto side.
Makes me want to run a big bar and kicking chain on mine. Lol
My brother in law had my first year 046 and it got to where it wouldn't idle down
Case is shot on it now to.

It takes a above average stihl to beat a average husky.

We can argue over what gets worked on the most but that is just fact.

A 066/660 can be all over how they run and a 394/5 is the same everytime.

I think 7 or 8 of the last 12 sets of cases the bearing spins by hand in the case

I hate the chain adjuster and the outboard clutch and they will fall apart now and then but a 394/5 is hard to beat with a stihl.

Almost every one I get that isn't running or in a box has bad case.
I have 2 big plastic totes full of bad cases

Isn't that where skip and semi-skip come into play? Move and clear out chips.

Yessir , i went back and forth if i liked skip or not...i like it.

Ive seen guys assume just because they see mulch pourin out of a clutch cover that the chain is fast..not true.

 

[jmssaws]

Seems to me that the chain that gets rid of the wood the best would be the fastest.
I don't know anything about chain making though

 

[sawmikaze]

Heres a ported 261 i was dickin with after cuttin firewood one day with lower rakers and .325...i was pushin it to see what kinda balls it has.

*s-wordty video...its the best i have access to.

It's not fun bore cutting a hardwood tree with A too agressive chain but I like more agressive chain for anything else imo

Timing advance on a limited coils. Not sure if this is for all limited saw coils.

Yeah. No money to be made when that happens. That's why I sold so many 1122 parts. No cases to build on. I had 6 46s. 2 good cases.

Agree! Ran into that when my 372 was setup with low depth gauges for pine cutting fun.
