Has anyone been running a 461, 661 on a mill for any length of time yet? Wondering how they hold up compared to the last generation. Not familiar yet with the changes on them and if they r suitable to the job of milling.
l suppose it may be one downside of A/T/Mtronic saws when milling is the ability to richen up the H a little when using it for such demanding work, then again l would not be in a rush to put my brand new Mtronic saw on a mill. What Bob says is right, and to make any saw better equiped to mill oiling considerations must be taken into account i.e auxilary oiler, oil holes in bars ect. Bob is the modern day equivalent to 'Will Malloff'.....not much he has not tried/bettered.
Hey pondhopper,Yeah. Bob is a wealth of knowledge for sure. Hoping he has advice on any mods to a 661 powered for milling ,if any needed. The ability to richen the mix is my concern.
So, are you ignoring me on purpose ?? heheThanks for the input guys. I have a couple of 044/440's, 460 & 660 with more hours on the mill than I ever expected to get. I have faith in the old ones holding up. Just concerned with the new electronics controlling the saw vs manual tune. Don't really need a new saw, just itching for a new toy.
Ahh, gotcha..Nope, I'm up bloomsburg area. Thinking about maybe checking out gtg. Only about 1:15 from your area. Will have to see what work schedule is around that date
