What saw gives you the "WOW" factor?

[Cut4fun]

So just what makes each saw give the wow factor? Power to weight? Can you work them, but yet race too?

The work saws were above most out there IMO. I have ran saws from others that just make you yawn in the cut.

Race saws piped MVP166 CH3120 DN084 were just that.

Since most of my saws are old timers, this is definitely it.

Those surprised me stock too. Big GRIN.

I've not ran one in a long time that made me grin like the Solo I just did.

681?

 

[Mastermind]

665 with 7910 top end

MMWS 461 is my favoright

That 461 is a very fast saw. So fast in fact, I am afraid for your life Matt (after seeing you cut).

this gives me the WOW everytime

I like my ported 357xp. It really surprised me how well it will pull a 24" bar.

 

[jake wells]

it will cut better with full skip.

The JD/Efco 81?

Yes, it is Efco, not Echo! I think AWOL may have been involved with it too.
Anyway it is big, green, and eats wood.

this will give you respect for a ported 60cc saw.

Yep. Awol or Shaun Carr did work on it. Can't remember which. I think there was a thread on chainsaw repair about it.

It used to be Allan's (Awol) he built it a real strong saw.

My muff modded and recarbed ms170, it went from gutless POS to mean little hardwood muncher, also my first modded saw

Yeah, technically its still a POS but it makes me smile and if it dies, so what

 

[jmssaws]

5200 poulan and the first 395xp I ever ran. A 395 don't make me smile anymore but my old 5200 still does.

I have heard tales that @tree monkey can build an 064 that will make even the most seasoned of saw enthusiast take note.

[jmssaws]

I keep hearing about this Treemonkey 064, I hope to run one soon.

 

[ELECT6845]

Solo twin and a BP1. There rare and its a honor to actual run them.

 

[jmssaws]

What's a bp1?

What's a bp1?

McCullough with a balance piston.
