Mastermind Meets the 562XP

[Mastermind]

I've had this saw sitting in the shop for a few days, finally got some time to dive in.

It resembles a running shoe from this angle to me.

Damn well made saw. After going through it I have the utmost respect for the designers.

I like the captive bar nuts too.

Three shoe clutch...

No mesh filter here.

Nice, be curious to see how this turns out. The pre-commercial thinning guys are still looking for that perfect saw to step into the 361's shoes. Hope this saw can take the abuse, lol.

 

[TommySaw]

they flat out cut wood, very well handling, lightweight but stout so far

Autotune and X-torq under the knife

Im sure this will be different and lookin forward to learning something new.

 

[bryanr2]

I'm gonna wager this one gets more views and responses than the 79 thread with all the 562 buzzzzzzzzzz going around this neck of the woods.

 

[wendell]

Is that an Efco?

I'm probably in the minority......... but I think that saw would look better all orange.

I am right there with ya man. That is the major turn off for me on the new huskys. The all orange saws look much better. I think the silver plate looks like a generic replacement part. Other than that- you have to give credit where credit is due- Husky makes some great saws.

If you've ever seen a well-worn 576, you'll see how ugly the silver clutch cover becomes after it's got scratches and dings.
I'm waiting for MWeba to figure out how to make the 555 have the power of the 562 and then I'll go for one of those...

 

[Stihl n Wood]

I'm gonna watch this one like a hawk!!! I'm a full boat stihl Guy, porter as well...And I'm gonna say it!!I want one!! Oh I can't believe it... Now by all means I like some huskies, 372, 346.. run those both here and there at work. I really plan on buying a 562 and have box to bench...So Randy can you please break it down and tell us how it is!! Thanks...one thing I haven't done is port a strato/x-torque saw...so I'm watching...you do great work by the way...

Very slick looking combustion chamber.

There's a few casting lines that need to be smooth away but all in all the casting is great.

Just a little rough where the ports meet the plating.

 

[Stihlofadeal64]

Shoot-far I'm a Stihl-head, but I'm in on this one. :msp_thumbup:
Let-er-rip! Can't wait to see it in some wood when you're done!
