What's on your bench?

A new bench for my new blasting cabinet. View attachment 97673

How do you like it?

How do you like it?

Love it! Using 80 grit glass bead media and with very little pressure it does the job well. Will probably convert to soda so I can blast carbs. Next is a sonic tank. lol

Thanks. Glad to hear it works good. I've looked at that blast cabinet several times but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Ultrasonic has been a great tool to have for saw work.

I may have put off other projects to grind on my 394 today. Nothing crazy, raised n widened exhaust, lowered and widened the intake, threw the BG in the garbage. Runs and tunes Nice. Made a few cuts on the only tree I have on the ground. I know it’s small wood for a 394 but hey it’s something. I tried to stop the chain in cut #3 but it just kept cutting. Wow 394’s have some torque.

Saw sounds very good, but lower the rakers a bit, it makes a big difference. Had trouble stopping the chain on a 36" bar on my 066 till I lowered the rakers, then things changed a bit.

My rakers are already good. It self feeds Nice without being grabby. This was just a simple case of small wood and bar on a big saw.

I hear ya. Sometimes I mod a chain so it works well on the big saw, then put a big bar on the big saw, and when that chain goes on a smaller saw it is less than ideal!

But, if I were leaving that B&C on that saw, lower rakers would let it cut faster.

Finished up a couple of saw's for my nephew.
015 with a 025 fuel line and carb kit.
017 with a wt215 carb off a 025 muff modded nice light saw.
Still have his jonsered 450 to finish lines and a kit.

100% agree. But that bar n chain is going back on my 372 once I scrounge up the coin to get a good bar for the 394. A 24” bar on a saw that big is a little too small IMO, I’m going to put a 28” on it for everyday use.

I run a 28" 8 pin on a stock 394 with a opened up muffler, saw runs it like a champ.

I refreshed a 288 lines filter and carb kit.
It has a total 16 inch bar on it well used.
I asked him why and he said he drops willow tree's from around streams and ponds with it.
Fast lol

Willow is a softer wood too! Maybe he wants to practice cant racing?
