The no compromise saw

[TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic]

Electric start and a two way chain so people can't ask me where the keys are, And so people can't ever put the chain on backwards.

Factory build expansion chamber as an option for those who want it.

I only found out the other day that MAC did some elec start saws !! You Tube has a vid or 2.

I think Husky should hire Treemonkey and Mastermind and put them in charge of cylinder development.

Husqvarna actually did take that approach to get ahead in the game back in the 90's. Gary Hunt was one of the "local builders" they used.

If it weren't for coil problems the 031's, 032's, 045's and 056's would all still be in use today. You'll be lucky to find a cleaner set of fins on a cylinder after as many hours as these things have.

Got one in my basement!

Is it a runner by any chance ? Should be posable to do it on a modern saw due to the battery packs these days.

First saw I ever ran back when I was 12 years old was a McCulloch 3-10E, that was 13 years old. Cut a lot of wood with that ol' saw. Replaced the points, condenser and rebuilt the carb a couple years later and ran it another 10-12 years that way, until it disappeared.

Dang!

No ..I agree with you, loads of things have been done before . It would be a nice option and could be integrated into a generator for the handle heating ? Start charge is not a new thing ether.

Would be cool!

I would like to see a hole saw out of composites and the way the case is constructed for the bearings and seals changed . The splitting apart to change cranks/bearings could be looked onto so that didn't have to happen. Full "Modular" construction of major components that undo in hole chunks without the need to strip most of the saw apart to get to a small part or a covered up component would be helpful.

Composites insulate heat
you need metal to dissipate heat

Ok...well how about including the elements in the hand grip covers . Could be a lattice that would give all round output .
Edit: that should have been part of the post below .

Excellent point!

The cylinder could still be alloy plus there would be fan cooling so that should work . My point is that the case and tank modules could be composite.

The one issue that you have is CFRP doesn't save much weight over plastics in non structural application. Also, when you make the CFRP thin enough to take advantage of its weight properties, it has an issue with delamination and cracking. I think thermoplastics (Glock) would be pretty awesome and super durable.

If you had a titanium bar, with the inside milled out with a honeycomb core, it would be super lightweight and stiff. With the benefit of vibration absorption in the cutting end.

Thats what this thread is all about ...coming up with ideas and see if they come to anything. I thought with the composites being adopted in F1,aviation plus automotive applications there must be a weight ..and.. strength gain over metals .
