No reason to be negative about rpms, Magnus, it's just more information. They are something to look at when doing mods, along with other factors where changes get introduced. As you say, in the wood when cutting is what is important, but it makes sense to know the combination of details to...

Don't believe it, Magnus, and I'm sure not interested in arguing about it, but you can come over some day and I'll loan you my saw if it is still operational, and my good tachometer. Then you can find your post and delete it. The Husky issued spec on a stock 242xp is 15,500rpm, by the way, and...
