Okay here is the first vid. I know small wood but that's all I got.

Heated full wraps are common in British Columbia.

It sounds real good. I hope you can come up with a bigger test log sometime. They seem hard to come by for me too.

Nice work Will. Someday I will stepup to the 395 lol.

Yup!

Not that they are hard to come by, they usually end up in firewood rounds, and don't have time to play around making vid's. I'd rather not whittle up a nice 24-30 piece of wood into cookies.

Nice work Will. Someday I will stepup to the 395 lol.

Thanks. Ain't nothing wrong with 394's

I know, i used to live in Kelowna, i meant getting my hands on a used one seems next near impossible.

Ya true, this is the first one I've ever had.

 

[Kwdog75]

I saw one on Ebay a while back and he wanted $125 for it, as is, untested. I don't mind spending money but that's a gamble I'm not going to take.

 

[parrisw]

I haven't even tried the heated part yet. I have to finish wiring up the handle. Need to get some heat shrink.

Also found out why the kill switch wasn't working. It was a break in the little ground jumper wire from the switch to the case.

 

[parrisw]

Okay, all I got to say is wow!! Just checked compression, I started the saw first to put a little heat in it, then checked compression, and it came in at 195psi!! Crikey, its not even run in yet. No wonder why its hard to start without the decomp.

WTF? Its gonna be a shoulder dislocation device! You think it will make 210?

Ha ha, who knows? It already snapped my fingers once today. We'll see how far it comes up with breakin. I'd rather it not be above 200psi.

Anything over 200psi... put a kick starter on it!!

LOL, ya it would be easier.

Honestly though, big cc saws don't need to be over 200. I'd be happy with 180 on it. Next time I'll do more a conservative pop-up on a 395, I could raise up the ex too, and get the blowdown I want, that'll bring it down a little.
