I'm considering buying a second bar for my muf modded ms261cm. It's currently got an 18" .325. I'm considering going to a 16" 3/8 b&c since a 16" would handle most of my needs. Thoughts?
The anti vibe on the Dolmar is amazingly smooth! Its deceptive on how fast it's actually cutting because the perception is that it's so smooth your not getting much accomplished. Smoothest saw I have used.....Husqvarna 576 would be in the running too, as a super smooth A/V saw.Exactly how I'd set them up. The AV on the Dolly really absorbs any extra vibes associated with 3/8.
I’m running an 16” Oregon Speedcut bar and chain (95TXL) on my 545, it’s great. It is narrow kerf. Curious how it would differ from reg Kerf or 3/8, but not enough to actually buy all of that to compare
I'm hoping this will be the ticket for arm sized stuff and under Brandon. With a shorter bar and chain of course. It's all I had and I just got it together.Oregon 20LPX in a 13” NK bar with an 8t rim is what I use on both MM and ported 346s.
Have also run 3/8” Oregon LGX on a 16” bar with good results on these saws, but it is much more grabby when cutting little stuff that is between finger sized and wrist sized, which comprises a lot of what I cut. In finger sized springy stuff I throw 3/8” off the bar regularly, but never with .325”. If I was cutting firewood sized stuff only, I’d probably run 3/8” much or all of the time.
When I had 026s, they seemed to feel best with .325”. Dolmar 5100s felt best with 3/8”.

That 13" set up likely would put my back out of good usable service in 5 or less minutes bucking firewood.Oregon 20LPX in a 13” NK bar with an 8t rim is what I use on both MM and ported

What your saying here bucking 16inch hard wood all considered for speed (not just 1 or2 cuts but keeping it fast all day)There seems to be several different opinions as to which type of chain is best for a 50 cc sized saw. .325? 3/8? 3/8 low profile? .325 narrow kerf? 3/8 narrow kerf?
What would you use for a saw that might be bucking hardwood up to the full width of a 16 inch bar? Speed is the deciding factor.
. Oh really? Didn’t know you could run a reg .325 chain on NK bar.Standard kerf will run fine on that saw/bar combo without clearance issues if you feel like trying a loop sometime.

Btw, anybody used an 8 pin on a 545?
