What's on your bench?

[GCJenks204]

thanks Gary, it's the newest saw I have at the moment. I swapped dealer 3 year ago and it has turned out well for me.
I sell a saw now and then Gary, it mostly depend how I come out on them, a saw project who end up to be a saw with a loss is defently a keeper, I've sold 3 this year, not bad to be me
If my money is tight there are some Huskies I unvoid, 340/345/350 (there isnt money in them) and the whole 5xx serie.
Safe saws in my book is 346/353 and 254.

Very nice Tor. A saw like that might almost convince me to give Husky a try again.

I think he’s all Talk!

Lol... I already told a buddy he could have it otherwise it would be done. I didn't say how many pieces it would be in though....

since I got the chance to build her from the bottom, and its a couple weeks since I build one 550, I could compare them.
+'s for the 560: better and more tight airfilter, compact crank, crankcase quality (they removed the trio brake ears on the case also), xpg wiring, fat front handle bar but I liked it.
-'s for the 560, heavier.
She is heavier, but still just as toned and slim as the 550 is, in pracice I think she balance a tad different, got one 18" sugi light to try with, but my conclussion is: a heavy 550 on steroid

A041 modded to K095.

Works the other way too. I made a k095 Sugi into an A041....and later back again.

50 57 on bench last night. 57 good to go and test cut with 20" 3/8 buried in dry ash log. 57 dont show much use at all.
50 wouldnt start. Needs a piston kit as it started to score in past.

Is the 50 pro construction like the 57?

No
Not a clamshell either, but better homeowner grade IMO. Used a mag lower end with cylinder bolted to it. Then set in a plastic case.

Very similar to the Dolkita semi-pro saws that are coming out. Very nice.

I thought of the makita 5600 when I seen this.

The muff mod ended up making a pretty good difference in how it performed.

So close to having a 45mm on hand to put back in it.
