The MS150 Has Arrived

[Skanj0]

I'll try my best to get back on this little saw soon. This time of year I get snowed under with port work. We've got over 20 saws to port right now.

Can't wait to see how it comes out Randy. Good luck with all the port jobs

Well that answers a question about weight thanks.

I sure could have used one yesterday, thinning a small eucalyptus tip-toeing on branch tips and tops...my silky blade is a bit dull and the 200t was like hauling a box around. I sent it down at least three times to facilitate climbing around. I needed it up top on the bigger branches.
The 150 is now on the official wish list

It is amazing how small and light it is. And it cuts so finely. Pretty sure one of you Pros could carve a turkey with one

Got 6 done this past week......just finished the packing and labeling. This is a full time gig for sure.

Sounds like a good problem to have!

Maybe electrics are the future. Though they are not new by any stretch.

Some of the first chainsaws were electric it should be interesting to see how they progress.

Not without solid reasons that they didn't last, either

Just sayin', as the sayin' goes .

I've have Wiggs do a few welded popups......for shits and giggles mostly, but they will work.

What did he weld to the piston?

What did he weld to the piston?

Just built it up using a spool gun....

 

[Majorpayne]

Thanks. My son in Lexington welds aluminum.

 

[mastermind7864]

There ya go. After he sent the pistons back, I spun em down in the lathe....

 

[Majorpayne]

Do you remember what the squish you wound up with?

 

[mastermind7864]

I normally set squish up at .022

 

[Majorpayne]

Thanks.

I know it isn't recommended, but it is interesting to go with a squish in the high teens if you can accept the risk. I've got one by accident, a larger saw. It rewards me with high aggression towards wood. Long time use and still so far so good.

 

[Majorpayne]

What happened with the ms150?

 

[mastermind7864]

We fell in love with it, and bought it from Randy.

 

[Majorpayne]

Are you done with the build?

 

[mastermind7864]

Yeah......it really came alive after a few tanks. A great climbing saw, or fine for working in a top on the ground.

[mastermind7864]

I did that........I've not done any more work to it.
