Plenty of milling power! More torque down to 6500upm than a 661 has max @7500upm

Torque Piggy!!!

Wanna be able to use bars on both the 084 and 9000.

Good idea that’s what I’ve done on this 42” sugihara I can use the 153 166 CT or 090 but it’ll be Dolmar for sure which I’ll have most use

The 9000 is still sitting here. No time to let it see some wood... The time will come though.

No friggin decomp!! Just started it. Starts easily. But hell its pretty hard to pull over. Haha

just put your big boy panties on when you want to run it!!!!! LOLOL!!!! or just go Free Willey!!!

Once you have the bar and chain on , there potential to buck about is much reduced when pulling against the compression .

Yes Sir!!!

Finally got to use it at the weekend. Just muffler modded at the moment. It was flawless in 28” at its widest Atlantic Cedar. [emoji106]

Just imagine all the lovely things that you could buy it you sold me this saw. Feel free to send me your PayPal info...

This thing is now staying with me.. I found this milling the most impressive thing I have seen from a saw in a long while..

 

[ajschainsaws]

Good morning yes those boards look nice and you gotta good saw there
Iam just getting my 9010 rebuilt so hopefully will do some milling

I was confident that would be the case.
Excited it worked out for you and for the impending photo array of the work accomplished and works of art rendered from the aforementioned toil, Matt....

 

[Adamski]

8T or 7T for milling?? hmm.... It has an 8T on it atm.. I've been reading about the differences with milling.

Guys, whats your thoughts?

Thanks as always.

 

[Wilhelm]

I'd go 7T, less stress to the engine during a long milling cut.

But I don't even use 8T for bucking, so I might just be a weirdo . . .

 

[ajschainsaws]

gotta agree with Wilhelm 7 tooth will be much better in the long run

 

[Wonkydonkey]

Ripping is hard on a saw, using an 8t will only make it work harder. Prolly too hard in the long run.

Totally agree. Never thought to check till yesterday when I regreased the bearing.. new rim £10. All gravy baby

Scarr52 use 3/8 LP chain for milling, smaller bites are much easier on the saw. He also will modify a .404 sprocket by reducing the O.D. to match the pitch of the LP chain. I am pretty sure he starts with an 8 tooth sprocket.

Not sure how this would work resizing a 404 sprocket to a 3/8 lopro. Could you tell me how it works.
Cheers

 

[ajschainsaws]

Yes now some good news GB have made a standard drive rim 3/8 lo-pro
Which is getting popular I sold 8or 9 last year

3/8's lopro takes a larger drive sprocket than regular 3/8. So I cut down a .404 8 pin to make it work for 3/8 lopro. I can look up the measurements later.
For the sprocket tip you need to file the sides of the sprocket so they spear into the lopro chassis correctly.
