Which is better for hardwoods

[stihl sawing]

What creates chain speed cutting oak? i would guess HP,Faster the chain spins the faster it cuts. But then again it has to have some torque to keep the same speed in a hardwood log.

Torque.

Torque is actually meaningless. Don't believe me? Weld a 3" bolt to a 1" thick plate of steel, get a 20 foot breaker bar and put it on the nut, and dangle off the end of the bar. If you weight 150 pounds, that's 150 x 20 = 3000 foot pounds of torque. Come back and tell me how that 3000 foot pounds works out for you. :msp_biggrin:

In your miscalculated above equation HP would be 0. Torque would be more than 3000'#'s because you didn't factor in breaker bar weight.

I'm not going to argue with you because you have repeatedly demonstrated how little knowledge you actually have of engine dynamics. All HP numbers are a calculation and torque is measured.

Why don't you go back to Home Depot garden mart and see if you can do some good there, sure would be better than what you do around here.......

Arrrgh!

Delete this thread immediately!

It has brought back memories of a frustrating afternoon spent trying to answer a problem about horsepower and torque and I never got it!

Arrrrrgh! :bang::bang::bang:

See Space, I told you it would be a hit! Ken

that depends on who does the port work

I could not agree more. For the guys I have seen porting saws on this forum they get more rpm and more torque out the saws they build. Saw building is the whole package not just grinding some port open alittle more. There is carb work, timing, exhaust, compression, and of course port work. I think they will cut hard wood faster.

Not to mention the undetermined flex of said bar, what grade the bolt was, how it was welded, and WTF the 1" steel plate was attached too

You are correct, I thought if I got that technical I'd be over his head........

the little saw that could ..........



now how much wood could a 440 cut if a 440 had an aftermaket 460 top end and could cut wood


that didnt work did it ?

That's amazing how randy got those stihl covers to fit over the poulan motor.
