Yes, the chains were the same. Both were Stihl 3/8 RSC 72 DL. The stock saw is mine. I am in the process of Muffler Modding mine. There will be more video with the MM'd saw vs the ported MM'd saw probably this week. There is a 20" oak limb just waiting for this.The bar wasn't the same, was the chain the same?
The chains were the same. Had fun that day !The chain really needs to be the exact same, not just the same make and model. Also, different bars may make a differense - in some tests I have seen Total (Tsumura really) bars have been faster than Stihl bars, when everything else was the same.
The chains were bought at the same time and came off the same spool. I think that meets the criteria for "exact".The chain really needs to be the exact same, not just the same make and model.

I wish that were the the case for the chains I buy. It seems every other one I buy needs attention out of the box. The may of course not be from the same roll. It seems the first guy had a lighter touch. The stock saw seemed to hold more rpm. I would expect the ported saw to run a bit faster with the same load. It does cut faster and seems to be loaded better. That's just how it appears from the other end of the internetThe chains were bought at the same time and came off the same spool.

Funny thing about the Total bar. It's stamped .050/.058. These chains were .050. The Stihl bar is stamped .050.

For cut times to be consistent, no leveraging should be done with the dawgs. It should be a level saw, cutting straight down, maintaining a moderate load on the saw at all times. A very different technique was used on the stock saw. The two saws sound nearly the same to me.In the stock cut you need to load the saw more instead of letting it scream. Steve
Much of that is due to the technique that was used. The stock saw was almost free revving instead of cutting wood.Time seems to be about half on the ported saw. approx. 40sec cut on the stock saw and 20secs on the ported.
Seems we need a redo so we can see the actual difference. If a 562 with MM can cut anywhere close to a ported 562 I am wondering why port one? Maybe next video will be same technique, same b/c. Then we can see the true difference.Much of that is due to the technique that was used. The stock saw was almost free revving instead of cutting wood.
I own one of Terry's ported 562's...Much of that is due to the technique that was used. The stock saw was almost free revving instead of cutting wood.
I'm sure that's true. I have as well. But these results cannot be compared as is.I own one of Terry's ported 562's...
You can technique your ass off and the stocker ain't gonna keep up with the ported one...
I've run both..
