It sounds like most people don't bother breaking in a saw on the Chainsaw Forum end of things, but I'm curious what those more experienced than me think for milling...
A friend has a new 880 he lent me because he only cuts the occasional big tree. He wanted his saw broken in and I'll cut some big firewood and I have some milling to do.
He insists on sticking with 50:1, when I've always run 40:1 in my 660 for milling. Beyond that, I probably won't mill or cut with anything more than a 36" bar for a while.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. I'd like to return my buddy's saw in primo shape!
