Struggling to read it with ease. The font is too grey for my liking. Apart from that it's looking really good mate!

Until the toggle of the starter comes off in your hand

Nice Reg. How difficult is it arranging the spider-legs to hold the pick static when lifting?
-
You get what you pay for i guess. I usually charge similar

He also said it could carry as much as my truck also

annoyed by highly qualified ..rubbsih climbers

Colleges and trainers should be managing the expectations and informing the newly qualified of there possible limitations before the reach the industry. Like others i have had my share of employing those who were a little "optomistic" of there abilities. The frustration is the mis representation of abilities, not the individuals. The truth would have gained them an opertunity albeit in a different position -

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
