Ty. I'm not the most nimble or light handed operator there is. Lol. I will try and find a good tree to do a comparison cut in tomorrow.

On a side note watsonr got my bar to me yesterday. It sure set this little guy off. I had to run it to try it out too. Lol

 

[fin460]

sounds good, I have a well used moody modded ms562xp that I wish you could use in your comparison as well, but you will have to come get it, if you want it, I'm too busy this week.

 

[MillerModSaws]

We will. Might as well wait till we get the 550 ported to. Then we can compare it to your 2153.

cs2253 you mean,... keep working on your jonsered numbers lol

Ya that one. 346xp 550xp 2153 2253 is there a difference. Lmao.

Well boys my camera man will hopefully show today. But in the mean time. This is not a tree I would generally tackle with my smaller saws however. I did the hole stop watch while cutting with stock and ported saws today. With the 20" bar it shows a good improvement but man does it shine with a 24" strapped to it there is no compression. From here on out my recommendation for a fire wood saw is a ported 562xp with a 24" reduced weight bar.

 

[old-cat]

WOW! That's amazing, "no compression"!

Well I got a minute long vid on my phone for you guys but I'll be dammed if I can get it to load. If someone is willing to load it would you please pm me your email. Ty.

Ty sir. Here is the vid.

Here's my ramblings. On this saw the way I ported I actually lost a little chain speed but gained a lot of torque. I ran this saw threw many tanks of gas as well as my stock on. In soft woods such as maple with a 20" bar the stock saw was actually faster. Now when I saw this. This is just letting the saw cut. No hooking of the dawgs. In hard wood with 20" bar the ported saw was at about 5% gain, with 24" bar in hard wood which is the vid. I got about a 20% gain. Now again that's just letting the saw do the work. You can lean on and push the ported saw threw a little faster cause it has more torque so it dosnt bog as easy. Any questions I'd be glad to try and answer.
