[Dave4610]

Can't wait to find out how big of an improvement can be had on a 661.

Here's the finished product.

This is the factory bevel here, just touched up a little in the corners.

Polished with an abrasive impregnated rubber thingamahicky, lol.

I clean up the piston windows just a bit, removing casting flash and angling just a little.

you porters sure use some high tech tools.

the Irony is how they do so much of a better job than Manufacturers do now days, true some/most of that is down to the EPA etc, but just the same is it to much to ask that they pay a little more attention to their quality output?

MS661 #2 is all back together, recalibrated, and ready for wood.

Back in time to be put under the tree?

Be careful how close you put it...the tree may fall over from just being in the presence of a 661

This is the MS661 I showed pictures of the port work last Saturday. I was finally able to get it in wood. This one's holding even more RPMs in the cut than mine. A little additional transfer work did it good.

Just watched the 395 video. I know it was tuned rich but this saw sounds better.

I think you're right! Seemed like I could lean on this one harder too. But, it's much to early for me to make that call.

I hope they come with a sticker?
