Ok back to hybrids... Brad, what u got goin on?

You can buy loops of Stihl Square at Baileys ... just sayin ... you used to have to get it by the roll. Price is not too bad, just search Stihl RSL.

Unless you have a grinder, converting is a lot of work.

I have 60' of square left on the roll, but like I said I allready have four loops so no sense in spinning any up

Ryan, when I first went to square I could not find loops of it any where, and Bailey's only had it by the roll.

My local dealers said they could not get it for me either, but then again I don't thing they know what it is even now.

Maybe I just looked in the wrong places. Found other brands of it by the loop, but not the Shihl.

Chain is pretty grabby, rakers are at -.050

.050 has its place ................ still a real big chunk being taken out. Speaks of the available power the saw has to pull it like that !

I took the rakers that far because it used to be on the 066

It does pull it well but I think -.030 will be better for this setup

The best relationship I was able to understand was that cutter durability directly relates inversely to raker height.

.050 is ALOT !!

.030 might be boring for 3 tanks of fuel (before needing sharpening),
but .040 probably would be challenging for 2 tanks of fuel (before needing sharpening)

No pics videos of any hybrid Stihl projects that I can see around here. I got my wide angle lens on too . Just really wanna know if this hybrid stuff is not some figment of a saw-hacks imagination. I don't want to buy into some 'easter-bunny' saw fantasy that some guy dreamed up after he smoked his lunch over in Colorado

I've got a few saws in front of this one.

 

[bwalker]

Will the dual port cover for the 046 fit the 461?

 

[blsnelling]

Yes.

They do make a high revving saw. I put one together and it 4 stroked easily over 15k.

 

[blsnelling]

Tuned to 15,500 and 4-stroking hard.

Mine four strokes at 14,500 for sure but after that it gets hard to tell
