You have a very valid idea there Andy. I will put in a prize towards a raffle or auction. I think at such a time, a little contribution from each of us would help him and his family in a small way
-
RBtree has done his. As well as the muffler it has been woodsported and kicks out something like 10 horse:scared1:
-
Sounds like someone is selling you orange and white saws and painting them before you get em!
-
With regards to the photo i would have placed the sap cuts in a different place. I prefer them further down the stem- up to the diameter of the stem below the face cut. I do this as i am often worried that they will detract from the strength and holding ability of the hinge if placed level.
-
Sap cuts are primarily used for the prevention of fibre tear. How would they prevent the occourance of a barbers chair?

To quote another..... "Concentrate on what your doing Not where your doing it.... "

PLEASE be carefull out there. All these accidents are really upsetting me
-
Thanks, i will give this some thought Andy, especially with regard to the increased kickback, a point on which i may disagree
-
Did i just hear an inane twittering from the corner making his usual negative and doomfull posting to further his pious self importance? Oh sorry Tim you posted?
-
You deffinatley do. Otherwise the saw will run lean and cause terminal damage. I should have said that the goal of porting is not to increase the RPM's but to increase the torque. I'm no saw builder or mech and was helped through my porting projects by someone with many years experiance.
-
I have no idea on the implications with regards to PUWER I ported my saws to allow me to run larger bars on my saws with better performance. Hence lighter saw used- less effort and less fatigue. It is one of the things about dismantling trees- the later in the day it gets the bigger the saw you hang from your harness
-
Devastating news. My heart goes out to all his family friends and those who knew him.
-
it's a fluffer for your saw- helps it rise to it's full potential:001_tt1:
-
There is no increase in rpms- the increase is in torque. As for damage, the extra heat produced by restricted gas flow would surley do more damage? For the record Stihl produce dual port mufflers for a large proportion of there saws for the US and AUS market
-
I ported my old saw- then my new one, then every saw i have.

I rest my case:001_cool:
-
last time i lend you owt- bet you scuffed the heels driving the truck in them too before you gave them to her
-
There not his AND I still want the back Ed- you better not have trashed them:sneaky2:
-
I agree. I have 2 200t's but others havent had the time to save to purchase them would be glad of a 2nd climbing saw to finish a pruning job with no doubt.
-
I agree as somone who learned to climb with a bow-saw and a 254. But why not use the correct tool for the job. It looks an excellent little pruning saw for a good price
-
The old ones do have a nasty habit of opening when idiots fill your saws. It's nice getting covered in chain oil huh Ian If you need help sorting the new caps out i think you should ask the nearest 10 year old hehehe
-
A back up top handled saw with a back handle? That's a sustitute
-
Gotta love the friendly welcoming attitude you have. Is there not a stone you can crawl back under?
-
Heat no. With the constriction of the muffler removed it actually reduces the head in the piston/cylinder as the saw can expell the hot waste gases more efficiently. There is going to be a little more stress on the engine, but not that much, as your are not increasing the rpm thatthe saw is runing at but the torque
-
Looked as crappy as you described it. Was there no scope to pull it over backwards?
