switching from 50:1 to 32:1

[pbtree]

The entire subject is completely arbitrary. If the manufacturers called for 80:1, people would be swearing by 60:1. Point being, you all have no real reference for preferring 32:1. It's simply the mentality that "more is better," with no accurate benchmark.

Well said.

Everyone forgets that the max wot is not a single number.. Stihl says it can be +/- 1000 rpm.... Consider the number as a rough target for a mid-size bar...

I hear you, but I still am more comfortable having limiters at least allow me the choice of adjusting off the rev limit or in the case of a non rev limited saw down to the given max WOT number.
