Porting, You get what you pay for

again my opinion... and then I am off this topic... but if u go back are ck it out... the 200 was not to only deck the base and cut the squish!!! so please keep these comments accurate and relevant... this is a serious thread and many here are here to learn more about saws that they didn't know so much about before getting and joining the AS. I speak for myself when I say I don't particularly like comments that dilute the or attempt to dilute the reality of the situation...

Yeah, a seriously bad idea.

If you look at the post from machinisttx, he's quoting 200$ to machine the cyl. I'm talking about his comment, not what this whole thread is about. It has been a good read though.

so you are saying machinisttx is less of a machinist than you ? different areas have different price ranges also but why would you want to criticize another work or job

How do you like that echo 271t you got? I haven't heard much about them except they are light

as a matter of fact, I like it a lot! imo, very powerful for size, given I wanted a featherweight for specialized chain saw work up at the farm. I like it so much, I use it in town too. hard not to like the 5-yar consumer warranty!

Well look at who "likes" ol' Del's hyper hypocritical post. The other notorious PRP.

Why is it that you're ALWAYS looking for trouble?

 

[dall]

who?

I read it. while I am not a machinist, I do have a machine shop. engine lathe, mills, d.p.s and tooling, tooling, and related equipment, etc... and more tooling. so I am at least more than casually familiar with machine shop ops, etc... I found machinisttx comment's to be both valid and realistic given his explanations. said, imo... like a man who knows the dif between profitable production work and low margin, time consuming one-off type of projects. I can accept that you might be a talented, gifted machinist... with professional standing... and motivated to build and race 'mobiles and skilled to build their engines... maybe even win a few, too. lol... but the issue is being condescending and imparting your standards on comments and postings calling for a more generic approach, given that the thread is a sensitive one, to say the least. and as such like another poster, I don't know why you are criticizing another's position on the subject. you say an apprentice can do it in an hour... and I say, no he cannot! doubtful he could not even learn the geometry and timing issues in an hour!

facts r facts, and as such...just how it is.

Cool I've been looking into getting one. Well maybe we should start a 271 thread and a vid of ur machine. But for now let's not dilute the bickering these guys are doing lol

Is twisting words all you do here?? I simply stated you don't need fancy jigs and mandrels to deck and cut a cylinder. If people think that's what it cost based on one quote, that's not right. If a shop wants to charge 200$ to deck and cut a cyl, shop around and you will get a better price. I'm looking for technical discussions, not a pissing match with people who love to twist words and start argument over nothing.

 

[dall]

im not twisting words or trying to argue the way i see it if you are trying to put someone down or criticizing their work then you should keep comments to yourself

you echo, pun intended, my thots, too. I was going to suggest that, so thank you. I guess Chainsaws would be the best Forum, and so then... back to full strength on this porting thread... lol. I could set up some felled branches say... 1-2" in diameter... then run the 271 thru them... kinda like woods ported saw like... let it shine in its own sawdust... lol zip - zip... zip zip!

Need a big baby winer forum for those who get butt hurt easy by things ppl say. Sounds like someone is trying to take away the freedom of speech or type. Ppl can **** talk or dog me all they want and il make em more mad with a smile as my response. The real butt hurt is doing a hot wings challenge. If you can dish it out you better be able to take it back as hard or harder.

don't worry mike,,they cant handle it.....babies of the highest order.....

 

[olyman]

Dayum! That's pretty dang hypocritical coming from one of the biggest PRP's (post reporting pussies) on the site. Just because you think you're reporting posts anonymously, we all know what a crybaby you are, and have always been.

now Jon,, she tells EVERYONE she aint.. course,, ANYONE,, thats been here any time at all,, can figure it out........................which you more than have,, and spelled it out plainly....your now officially on his bad side......hes a ex mod and all.................................................................

I simply stated you don't need fancy jigs and mandrels to deck and cut a cylinder.

I think if you look at a variety of cylinder designs you'll find some that cannot be easily chucked in a 3 or 4 jaw, which is why mandrels are used. I did cut a cylinder from one of my cheap Earthquakes without a mandrel by gripping it with a 3-jaw from the inside, but it had a flange that went most of the way around. A 4 jaw would not have worked as it had open transfer runners. Even then with the chrome plated inside surface the grip was not as secure as I would have liked, and I was concerned about damaging the finish. If it had slipped or spun the jaws would have rotated into the transfer ports and the whole thing would have gone flying. Then again it was from an Earthquake I paid $30 for.

When ppl don't have the resources to do mods then they have to stick with what they got of pay the price if they want to. This is shat I like about living in the USA. You got choices so make decisions pay or don't receive

 

[olyman]

I am a licences machinist, I also build and race snowmobiles. I do know a few things about building engines. This is an operation that an apprentice can get done in an hour. Charge an hour at whatever your shop rate is, ours in 90$/hour by they way.

doing it right,, and in the correct amount,, is called experience..and if you aint got it on cs's......welllll......................
