Terry, this thread is about building the best worksaw.
That very will may be true. But, again, I'm not disappointed in how this saw turned out. For it to equal my hybrid with an 8-pin rim, is a win IMHO. Any additional gains will only add to that. It takes a strong saw to hold 11,500 RPMs with a 28" bar buried in Hard Maple. That wood was so hard that my hand ax didn't want to stick in it.

Ax was probably dull as your chain.......Hahahahahaha!

eric gorr yz 250 (285 big bore). Man i love everything 2 stroke.
As I pointed out in the first post of this thread, both of these saws are faster with a 7-pin rim. With a 7-pin rim, the hybrid was 12% faster than the 461 and was holding well over 12K in the cut. It was only as the load increased, with the larger rim, that the 461 began to shine. The reason I keep referring to the performance with an 8-pin rim, is because that's how Young's two saws were compared.
You could also lower the rakers so the 461 was happy, then try that chain on that torqueky hybrid.
That goes without saying. However, if a good operator gets a POS saw because somebody with more ego than experience decided to push the envelope and make it into a real hot rod when it really wasn't necessary...who's really to blame?
Granted, a lousy operator could probably screw up just about any kind of saw, ported or not, but the person doing the actual work on the saw bears a higher level of responsibility and needs to communicate with the end user. The user tells the guy doing the mods what he wants...the guy doing the modding does what he's told. With a little communication everybody is happy with the end result.
Seemed worse on the hybrid. Do set by height or by angle?
It's called Hard Maple for a reason. I do realize though that you might have never experienced woods this hard, given where you live. hahahahaha
Gotta be a heckuva thread to bring ole Joat out.:hmm3grin2orange:
What's more amazing is that he didn't even pick on Brad...he must be getting senile in his "ole" years.
