2nd set of dog/dawg spikes for MS240

[IRONJACK]

dogs, dawgs, spikes, whatever you call them, they are pointless on a small saw...

 

 

they are to provide a pivot point when making cuts (big cuts with a long bar) once the saw is 'dogged in' you can let go of the top handle and push/pull on the rear handle pivoting off the dogs.

 

'big' dogs are to provide bite in thick barked trees (think 3'dbh+ doug fir with several inches of brittle bark.)

 

a 40cc saw, doesnt have the torque or chain speed to be able to efficiently pivot on the dogs, nor will it be running a bar long enough to warrant pivoting with for accuracy, nor is the saw heavy enough to warrant pivoting to take the weight of the saw.

 

small saws dont need dogs, let alone, big or dual dogs. they are purely to look 'cool'... but thats subjective, i would look at a small saw with dual dogs and think [expletive deleted]

Hi Logan, not yet. Took the sprocket cover to my local dealer, but the only teeth he had in stock didn't fit, well, the holes didn't quite line up. Checked the hole spacing against a 441 cover on my way out, lined up perfectly so will probably order that set.

I'll let you know how my snedding experiment goes.

Surely no dogs is better for snedding???

 

How do dogs help when snedding??

So how many posts until I can make comments other people may not like?

I doubt I'll ever manage to write enough posts, I have more important things to do than sit on here every night answering questions no one asked, and mocking people for trying something different, because you see, I have a life...

Probably for a lot, or even most people. I use the existing dogs as a pivoting point to swing the bar up and over, I'd just like to see for myself if they help on the way back over the trunk.

I treat people I don't know how they treat me. TB was rude, I was rude back.

Understand? Or still confused?
