WCS 3 point dogs?

[Andrew15]

Andrew here with a question.Does anybody have WCS 3 point dogs?I really wanna get them one day.Right now i do have Stihl stock double dogs on my 362 but they are kinda small and the fact that they a rounded at the bottom is kinda annoying mainly because when you lift the bars nose up to continue you cut they slide you down the log like hell.I know this is supposed to be smth helpful but i really annoys me.But im kinda concerd about the size of the dogs so if anybody has them on their 362,400c or even any other saw with double dogs pls give a picture or 2 so i can make an idea on how big they really are.

Thanks in advance!

Can't help you with pix. Not sure on WCS prices.

Here is a pic of my MS 261 C-M:

This is my CS-600P with WCS dogs. Was kinda on the fence about buying them but after the first few cuts I was happy. They stick really good and the center spikes are aligned with the lower rail of the bar which gives the saw a nice “self cutting” action if that makes sense. I like them.

Not a fan of the way the 3 points look but I’ve never used them. The pro safety ones look great.

Love the WSC products.... MS361

I have a set for my ms400, they were one for 1 cutting session and took them back off. Just hog too much bar space and really arnt needed for the type of trees we have around here. The do look cool. I have another set of 4 points on the 394xp, but they come off if it's going in the mill, and 36" and 42" bars for it, you don't notice missing a few inches of var space like you do on a 20-24" bar. You can see it front and center in the pic below.

i run them on my 362cm in ponderosa pine a lot they help a good amount! dont have any pics i can get one later after work.

I am running a set on a 660. Agreed it does take up some bar real estate but you can sight your bar really well.

Like Sean said above, the three point dogs take up too much bar length. I don't cut anything with thick bark either. I did bling up an Echo 3510 with a single 3 point dog I bought for my 2511t.
I bought a set for my Stihl 462C-M and they are in the Stihl parts bag. I haven't needed more than a 25 inch bar but sometimes need all of that length.
I think the WCS dogs are well made and like that the middle prong is in line with the chain, but not that I have to buy a longer bar to use them. That's no fault of WCS, just a fact of my saw usage.

Wow they are really big.Out of that 20" bar they pretty much leave you around 18"-19" of bar left.

I have the pro safety dogs on my ms460, I would take them off if I planned to run a 20" or smaller bar because they extend out so far. That being said I love them for the extra bite reach in thick bark, angled crotch cuts or simply setting the saw down on a log you just jam them in so they hold the saw.

Yeah if your not in thick bark the factory ones work well, i still have them somewhere if your interested they are the full wrap dual dogs. Its all ponderosa here so i swapped them

I run long bars typically so not a problem

I put them on my 500i. It took a little while to get used to them and now I don't know what I'd do without them. Great for lining up felling cuts, dogging into rough bark, flush cutting stumps, and putting holes in work gloves and hands if not careful. This is a 32" bar but I don't go any smaller than 25" on this saw. My 361 is used for 20" and smaller bars and still has the stock dogs. I wouldn't mind a better set for the 361 but I don't need them to be as aggressive as the WCS ones.

lol...I've put a few holes in my pats with the WCS dogs. Those things are SHARP.

Mine are also on my 500i and they're great. But definitely be careful with them.
