What's on your bench?

I'm a bit curious. Are these squish cuts slightly angled, or are they typically left flat. Or maybe do some models benefit from a angled cut?

I almost always do mine flat unless I’m trying to match a domed piston. Some guys will cut the bands at a slight angle. I’ve tried it and I didn’t notice any real performance benefits in a woods ported saw. Just my experience.

Got my super xl big red running today. All it needed was fresh gas and a slight carburetor adjustment.

I need to correct my previous post about the WCS muffler. It DOES have a screen. I didn’t see it until I opened it up.

I don't think I've ever seen such a thoroughly smashed saw that had no damage to the tank, wrap handle, or brake handle.

The original chamber is D shaped, which might be your perception that it's angle cut.
