75cc 36”

Messin’ around while tuning. More than I’d normally run. Started as a joke back barring to throw the chips away from the saw cuz the PO said to
Keep her clean 😆

I was somewhat impressed. You can hear it fat at the start and get lean in the middle, I almost quit and fattened it up more, but I got a little 4 stroke back.

I guess it oils the bar pretty good? I wish my 661 oiled better.

Is this the same speed wood that @huskihl always cuts with? 😀

Looks like you're due for a new pair of chaps, @davidwyby. It is a well-researched fact that a second saw cut to a pair of cut-proofs or chaps has a 78.6318% chance of hitting the same spot as the first cut.



But more seriously, think on it, brother.

That’s my chip catcher!

It’s just a cut in the outer skin, I didn’t get the white stuff. Need to sew it up.

@lxskllr it might oil enough…I was only cutting small and green besides that one cut. I definitely wouldn’t in dry hard dirty. Bars and chains get hot in that stuff. Don’t plan to run that much bar on it, just a lark.

Moar harder at least by janka

That being said I’ve cut up there and some of the big maple (IIRC) is hard. Nothing up there he uses for vids is speed wood.

Do you know about the extra oiling setting on the 661?

 

[lxskllr]

I do. It still seems meager with a 36" bar. It could be I have unrealistic expectations, and I waste oil on my high output saws, but I like to see a sheen of oil across the whole bar when I'm cutting. Stihl also has those tiny oil ports on the bar. They get easily plugged when cutting. I've considered drilling them out, but then you'd lose the venturi effect, if there is one. Their holes are conical, and in a perfect clean system, I can see how it maximizes low oil flow, and gets everything to bar. When you throw sawdust into the mix... :shrugs:

 

[davidwyby]

Try drilling one

A lot of the credit in the video I posted goes to the chain. Square ground skip, cutting just right.

Well, do that soonest. Any foreign material that gets in there will to some degree or another contaminate the fibers, and you will lose some of the chain-jamming capabilities and the speed that happens.
