Mowoodchopper, I think on a public forum such as this there is kind of a clumsy built in verification or cleansing system that sorts things out eventually. Sometimes it seems to be rather painfully slow and erratic. I have watched it for a number of years and sometimes temporary popularity band...

I dont know Dan, but considering how skip VS full comp chain seems to favor fewer cutters when big wood is involved makes me think there is something in the distance to the chip dump and gullet volume that complicates simple calculation of which chain should be faster. Same goes for .325 and 3/8.

I think chip clearance and length of individual cutter strokes is also part of the equation. Once a cutter gets full it quits cutting despite raker settings. Really opening up the gullet area on the cutters will give you faster cut times in larger wood. That might give the nod to 404 compared to...

The 2' x6' diamond stones do a good job, red one best and they cut in both directions. I use them to thin callous cracks on fingers that keep cracking. Thin the skin around and they heal in a few days. A bit different but probably related to the scab issue.

gink595 You are right about the Acet. tank valve just being open a couple of flicks for emergency shut down. I was speaking about the valves on the torch. Relatively low gauge pressure and wider torch valve opening makes balancing your flame easier than high pressure and the torch valves...

SBhooper; Justsaws gave you good advice but I see you are a bit defensive about your methods and pretty hyped on the brand bashing BS. I agree with you there about that skat, but it sure does occupy the minds of a lot of people. If you dont see there are loopholes you could ride a horse...

Lowering the gas pressure or just cracking the valves slightly in an attempt to get low enough heat is not workable. The gas flow in the tip becomes low enough that the flame propagates upstream and pops. The hotter the tip the more often it pops. The only solution is to use a smaller orifice...

Justsaws; right on the money! It is not what some will want to hear who get off on the brand loyalty bickering, and it points to exactly what a 99% of it is based on. The lack of control in comparison testing sometimes unknowingly creates confusion and very often it almost appears deliberate...

Got to be the same chain and swapped one saw to the other. You cant sell it otherwise! :greenchainsaw:

Its been hashed a few times before on cutting crooked threads. It is more often damage to the side cutter or area near the working corner and the resulting veer off is in the opposite direction and for a different reason than the one stated. As soon as chain run off starts to happen,(and before...

Not a likely thing, but the flywheel could have shifted on the taper on one of your attempts to restart it. ( you can still have spark but not at the right time to do anything) Muffler blocked with a nest of something? Usually you get at least a half hearted attempt to run so that is a very long...

Just quibbling here Harry, but the "synchros" consist of a number of elements such as blocker rings or slippers and detent springs, as well as the friction rings. It is correct that if the rpm is a perfect match the friction rings will get no wear but the detents still go through the sliding...

Anybody going to agree or not?

A high percentage of users seem to recommend whacking the rakers a way down so any low vibe factor is lost anyway! Vibration specs might average horizontal and vertical readings. The heavier saw with the same amplitude movements will put more vibration into your hands because you resist it...

Not much difference and you cant tell at all when it is spinning. I think it is rebadged Windsor chain and very much like the LG series. I doubt if they are making anything exactly like the Oregon LGX. They also have the safety chain but I doubt you want that. The last semi chisel I ordered I...

You can make the whole thing up as a straight pipe then cut and flip at each angle change necessary. If you want a 10 Deg. change cut the pipe at a 5 degree angle, flip one piece 180 degree and reweld. A modification of the Y cut and transpose the v fillet to the other side (which I think...

I think more importantly, if you are not fetching the rpms in the right direction when you are doing it, you are adding to the synchro's work not helping it. I have a 5 speed standard in my car that is completely synchronized but I double clutch and bring the rpms up close to required rather...

FullCry, good questions. A chainsaw combustion chamber and crankcase volume can be done similarly. I would use oil for the base cause of the bearings and alcohol or water for the combustion chamber. measurements an a bit of math can predict how much compression change will result from a given...

Wigglesworth; "Huh???" Wigglesworth, you gots to get yourself jecated; the leaner, the meaner's the new mantra! It really makes a saw sound "badass"!

TMD; back to the original post, I'd say that was skipping a shift, not double clutching. You are correct about not having to blip engine rpms up while upshifting (unless of course you have let the engine and input shaft rpms to drop below the point of engagement. You do of course have to bring...
