You will void your warranty with Rock apparently, but imo it’s well worth doing. The two-handed thing is a proper ballache. IMG_0320.mov

Thanks for all the replies. It all sounds positive for the Loncin. Thanks Mark for your extra insight on that model - did you fabricate the single handle yourself or is there a retrofit kit available?

Firstly, that is a hell of a bowl. Well done to Mrs Ed. Presumably not her first go on a lathe. As far as the mahogany comment is concerned, genuine mahogany is Swietenia macrophylla, still the most desirable and arguably the only proper mahogany but there are other members of the mahogany family that are similar and passed off as mahogany. But further, other timbers such as African mahogany, Khaya sp. are sold as mahogany when they really are not. Going further timbers such as Sapele and Utile or often sold as mahogany substitutes. As for spalting, you just need to turn your back and Alder will spalt.

Considering Hayter (a premium brand manufacturer) have decided to now fit Loncin engines to their flagship Harrier 56 range, then, yes I agree with others, they are pretty good. We haven't had many issues....we are a dealer for Hayter, so we would know as we have to do warranty. The Hayter engine in the pic is branded as a GTS engine, but it is a Locin engine.

Loncins are good value for the money yes. Don't expect old school Honda quality, but for the saving they're a great little engine.

Samantha Fish anyone ? saying as how there are a whole lot of great female guitarists these days.

Thanks for the replies. I have had the saw since 2017, maybe even before then, it was newly purchased. I had a 441. Went to replace it and a 461 was not much more so went with that. I have put some hours on it out felling and ringing up timber over the years. The saw to me doesn't strike me as low on compression but has always taken a decent number of pulls before it would fire. One thing that knarks me off is that this saw picks up sawdust around the air filter like crazy, compared to my 550xp where I hardly ever need to.clean the air filter out. I do.notice that fine dust can get past the air filter where the filter mates against the case, always thought it should have a better seal. I doubt I have ever been at the carb adjustment screws so maybe it does need some adjustment. As for fuel left in it. It was a saw that used to go out fairly frequently but certainly the last year it has had some periods of rest. So that certainly could be an issue. My 066 is in a similar boat with even longer periods, that takes a number of pulls to get going but chugs through the lumber at a sedate pace, two saws that are not setting the world ablaze.

Value for money, possibly?

Try looking at a few of the YouTube vids, the guys on there test all sorts and compare power outputs and check the metal debris in the oil etc. I have Loncins on a Rover mower and chipper, both have been fine for me.

Looks like the standard carb to me, I don't think I have ever seen a copy, probably too difficult to manufacture cheaply.

Have to love customers like that. Fortunately I was pretty lucky and had very few like this👍

I bought the same machine from Agri-Euro for €1372 inc. tax and delivery. Originally for a 3 day zero parking and nightmare access garden thrash in a medieval town. It saved our business thousands in hire costs during my Vanguard Efi woes in the dark days of COVID. It's not as smooth to feed compared to a CS100 being narrower and the infeed having a ledge and protruding bolt ends. I lent it to a colleague who has now bought a Jansen wee chippette of similar design. Better finish and paint he reports but over a grand more. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYTJsdI1-E/?igsh=MW1lZzNnZWExbG1mMw==

Over here I've seen it called Irish Mahogany, but that's nativism for you. Can you expand on your comment about types of mahogany?

And it spalts beautifully. This is a bowl Mrs Ed made.

Think it was jo beau , and dare I say it redditch's finest chipper !

Nope , pure aspen , found out factory carb was missing gaskets, but the second carb still made it run rough .sold it in the end as I cant be done with crap machinery.

Alder aka Scotch mahogany as it takes stain very well and can be used to make a passable replacement for mahogany (of some types). I have used it for some cabinet work and quite like it. Easy to work but the wood beetle likes it.

Had it been run on pump fuel prior to this ?

Fender solid body electric guitars were made from Alder in their thousands . It was when they ran out of swamp Ash .
