First, Nik wasn't talking about every instance, he was talking about the difference in the cut times of the two saws in question.

Second, there are different levels and styles of porting that vary widely between different porters, as well as the inherent differences in the material being cut. (i.e. a 40cc Ryobi will cut a 2x2 as fast as a 7900 Dolmar will.)

Third, I believe your previous post says more about the value of your opinion than I could say in my remaining lifetime.

Lastly, I sincerely hope spring arrives soon in your part of Michigan so you can get out in the fresh air and sunshine and add a little much needed fiber to your diet. Maybe the attitude that has permeated several of your posts recently will improve!!!

I was purely showing Mr Fatguy that cc size isn't on the side of the saw if it is a inferior saw to begin with. I was talking about the 211 compared to the redmax 400 ryobi. Then I used the 357 to big bore 361 as a example. If you cant handle that, then you must have your lips on someone's butt. Because I know for fact after talking to the guys running the 357's that one was ported by Dave Nieger and one by some Copsy guy. Not comparing porters here. :confused:

So what is your point. I was just trying to show cc size dont always come in to play :dizzy:.

My point is that you are showing your ignorance and an acerbic attitude that is very unbecoming.
A couple of days ago you made an absolutely uncalled for snide remark about Brad's porting abilities.
What first hand knowledge of his work do you have???
I have seen glowing reports on this site about his work as a porter from all over the U.S. and several foreign countries.
What have you ever done besides make smart aleck remarks and poke fun of someones equipment?
Now you are on here with your "imo" about the quality and value of Andre's latest purchase.
You have a right to your opinion no matter how flawed it may be, but the derogatory comments were unnecessary and petty.
What I'm seeing is an uncalled for attitude toward the entire "ODP" group and it shows an underlying theme that you have something personal against them instead of what you are actually saying.
In short, let me make this perfectly clear, even to an untrained mind like yours, YOU are MAKING AN ASS and not an ASSET of yourself.

I see you have a hidden agenda to your comments and yet you have the unmitigated gall to attempt to divert the truth by making childish remarks about butt kissers.

Nobody is talking about port work here and don't recall any rude statement about Brads port work lately. Pull hard and get your lips off now so you can breath Mr. mike. :dizzy:

I stand by this statement.

Just face the fact it's a 211 for almost $300 homeowner plastic play saw built on a clam shell.

Your ryobi Sir fatguy sounds like a chain saw. The 211 sounds like a whining pos imo.

Maybe that was with Brad's port work. I talked with the two guys that were running the redmax 3800 I was talking about at the winter gtg and it was not ported by Brad. From what I understood it was ported by someone with a lot more experience and know how on the woods porting and his gains were far more then the 15% that Brad got out of his 3800. :rock::cool:

Per blsnelling's you tube video of his 3800 he ported Redmax G3800AVS Ported 13.6% faster than stock. Doesn't bog near as easily.

The one 3800 I watched at the gtg ported by someone unknown to me wasnt going to bog in the wood with the semi chisel chain it was running.

Well wooddog,

It seems like your powers of recall have about the same value as your opinion.
YOU were the one who interjected that a ported 361 BB wouldn't keep up with a ported 357, and tried to use that to discredit Nik's post about the cut times being commensurate with the cc difference in the saws that this thread was actually about.
You were the one who unnecessarily trash talked a saw that you have no vested interest in.
You were the one who made the above quoted comment suggesting that Brad is somehow lacking in his porting abilities.
AND YOU are the one poking the hornets nest now with your thinly veiled digs and lame attempts to explain them away.

Pardon Me Madam, but your agenda is showing!!!

You are however an amusing little plebe, in your predictability!
As is the case almost without fail, when those of lesser intellect like you, are challenged and your deeds brought into the light, you resort to "off color" remarks and accusations, in an attempt to cover your own inadequacies.
So be it! You are exposed for what you are and I am bored with you now.
Somehow it just isn't much fun to match wits with an unarmed man!!!

That little woods ported redmax 3800 that was at the Ohio gtg was a runner and lighter then the woods ported ryobi redmax 400 that was there and out cut it and the woods ported stihl 200 rear handle that was there too.

I liked the lighter weight saw with the woods porting 3800. :clap::cheers:

I thought the Ryobi that Brad ported beat the 3800 that Brad ported?

Try telling the whole story.

That was in response to the guy saying the woods ported remax ryobi 400 out cutting the redmax 3800. I told him that was the case with Brad's woods ported redmax with its 13%-14% gains. The other guys woods ported redmax 3800 beat the ryobi 400 redmax in the cut at the gtg. So I stated that was Brad's port work and his finding of his two saws. Not the case of a more experienced person porting saws.

You keep them lips going and I will keep on proving you wrong. :clap:

If the TRUTH HURTS maybe you shouldn't be reading it. Sorry Mr mike the truth is the truth any way you read it Sir.

wooddog, I don't know you and I don't know if you're stupid or blind. Are you actually reading this or trying to find some way to be abrasive. There is no one person on this forum who is more honest or calls it like he see's it other than Mike. You're a troll who would not intoduce himself to people you repeatedly offend. The rest of us put our hand out when we're in the proximity of those we converse with on this forum. #####.

Yes, but people who have bought the refurbished models have had problems and have reported that here. In at least one case they got a replacement as I recall. But it makes one wonder how much testing is actually done on them? Or is they just clean them up and package them up and hope they don't come back again...:dunno:

I think we're saying the same thing. The most important parts of the refurb job might be melting a notation in the plastic and slapping a numbered sticker on top.
