You both mention .404 is this the width of the bar channel and is this significant

 

thanks

Its not the width of the bar groove , its the pitch of the chain . ( as opposed to 3/8ths )  . Slightly bigger cutters , ( same file as 3/8ths ) , so less of them for a given bar length . Even less if you go semi skip or full skip .

If I needed a bigger saw, it would be a 395xp, Im sure the 661 has its fans, but I prefer to avoid anything that may have 'new fangled' electronics, the less the better IMO- technology gone mad but I'm sure the delaers love them.

I just picked up a SH 395 with 36" bar. Cant compare it with the 661 as not tried one but very impressed when ringing up this large beech as it went through it like a hot knife through butter. Also want to do some milling and the advise on here was 395 all the way.
