modding my a 201t

[Ian C]

Can't really see much difference .

Is the hole shown in the snellerized saw with the plastic trim the way to go? One big hole in those pics - yet to see 2 x 6mm on a 201 - previous pics were 200's ?

Just drilled my new 150 and made a short comparison video. Have a see you think

How big was that hole? Mine was 5mm and although it doesn't sound hugely different you can tell there's a difference.

I'm pretty sure it was 3.5 you don't notice the difference just revving it up but cutting its amazing. Will give my old 200s a rest how's the 5mm? Not too much?

5mm has made a noticeable difference in cutting. More responsive and holds out a bit better in larger cuts

I've got a 5mm hole in mine and I like what it's done, the spark still looks gone too:)

Yeah that's pretty much a better way of saying what I was trying to say, 'more responsive and holds out better in bigger cuts'. The thing is bloody awesome, it's gonna save my wrist a whole load of hassle. Not to mention taking some workload of my old and much loved 200s. Win win

The vid I put up was a 201 with 2x6mm holes. I doubt there's much difference between the two.

 

I've just let the exhaust gasses melt whatever plastic is in the way... So far not a great deal.

Got a new 201 given to me by Stihl yesterday, as standard boggy on the trigger. Drilled 2 6mm holes in it this morning and soo much more responsive!

I really have started the 6mm drill craze lol
