261 with 18" bar, had it for 6 months, no issues. It's ok for small stuff, but I wouldn't want to bury the bar. I prefer an msa200 battery saw for small stuff, and a 440/461 for larger. If I'm only taking one saw for a small job, the 261 is ok. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Think about guys cmon, Anyone who isn't 100% English gets deported. It's brilliant! DNA test everyone, anyone who isn't "pure" gets deported. As I'm pretty sure everyone is mixed, we will have an empty country. Free for the trees and plants and animals to live and roam as they please. As for the 60 million "impure" deportees...

I've decided to embrace anti multiculturalism. Told the missus she'd have to "go back home". She's black and from Milton Keynes. Not impressed. Realised I'd have to deport most of my family. Saw my Irish mate on the way to work. Needs deporting. Local corner shop run by lovely Syrian lady: deport her to a war zone. Taxi driver Egyptian: needs deporting. Client is Pakistani: deport after paying for job. Lunch today at Turkish cafe: deport after eating. Bumped into Libyan mate for coffee at workshop: deport after she's helped me with tidying. Just in time to see my bookkeeper from Hong Kong, before I get a Chinese or Indian for dinner. Then deport them all. And as for the Scottish? Build a wall Build a wall Build a wall! Yeah alt right! Woohoo I'm so lonely now I've deported all my friends. [emoji12][emoji15][emoji3][emoji106][emoji107][emoji57][emoji33][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

There is an optimum height in relation to your height. It has to be above knee height and wide enough. I use several size blocks for different size wood. Short stuff 80cm block, longer stuff 50-60cm block. The dangerous bit is if the block is too narrow or low, you end up swinging into the ground or your foot/leg. When setting up spend a few minutes getting your distance and swing right. I'm 180cm for reference. Another thing, when your maul/axe gets stuck don't hit it with a sledgehammer. Eventually you'll break both. Always hit metal with a BIG mallet. Have fun[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Unless you're digging sand or ice most hand held augers are useless. [emoji107] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

75cm max bar length according to the manual. Personally I think it would work, but only on fresh softwood. 20-25" is perfect. Try an 8 rim sprocket with a 20" bar. [emoji12][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

A good friend of mine always repairs his machines with Chinese parts because they are so cheap. He also loves spending days on end fixing machinery. Ideal! However he's not a professional user, and his machines break all the time. The engineering tolerances and quality of materials is generally shi*. Get a rim sprocket conversion kit, it'll work out cheaper in the long term, And it won't damage your chain as much. Filters and caps are a few quid from your dealer. Often prices on eBay are more than in the shop??? 038s is a great saw. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
Thanks spud, I've never heard of an 880 ported or modded either. My 261 & 661 are both mtronic, and my 461 is only two weeks old. I run all my work saws on motomix/aspen now. Is a 461 any good for porting? Or do I have to buy another saw just to port? [emoji57] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Thanks spud, I have a very basic understanding of porting. I've read several hundred posts in your porting thread, and I'm quite interested in having you port one of my saws at some point. Is an 880 worth porting? Can you put a bigger top end on? Or not worth it? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I run a 20" , but if I remember correctly the manual says it will pull a 30". I'll check tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Maybe a daft question: If you had a ported saw and an accident with it at work, Would your insurance be valid as the saw is not per manufacturers spec? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Get a bigger saw. A 261 will struggle with an 8tooth in hardwood over 10-12". It's ok for softwood. A 461 with 20" bar works well with an 8 tooth. Personally I find an 8 tooth is great for cross cutting, but I use a 7 tooth for felling as it's slower and I have more control. Check the chain speed and then have a look at your class 1 trouser protection chain speed limits. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
