It's here!!!!............Inside the MS661

Would have been more practical if the wood was bigger. Like maybe the bar buried in wood? Might as well put a 20" on it for that test.

I'm extremely lucky to have wood this size. Beggars can't be choosers. Take it for what it is. I think it does a very ample job of displaying the powerband of the saw.

These saws work much better with longer bars...lot more torque than older model. But, not as fast, even ported, with short bar compared to early 066. At least that's my observation.

I don't think I've ever had a 066 run this strong.

A non decomp flat top will.

Taking your hand off the handle wasn't too smart. you have been lucky so far. why tempt fate.

Hard to imagine a kickback with the tip no where near wood.

066\660's can be strong.

What if you hit a nail or any object in the trunk you couldn't see? Not a good practice to show newbies how to run a hopped up big saw with one hand. Like I said why tempt fate.

What about the kid that built a tree house in the tree 25 years ago and pounded nails in it?

I wouldn't have done it if I felt I was risking injury. Kickback requires force from the tip. A nail in the wood would have simply dulled the chain. Ask me how I know, lol.

No doubt about that.

 

[blsnelling]

I hate it when that happens, lol.

I forgot. Because you are the snellerizing saw god.

That is one sporty saw !!


Here is my Freak 066 wearing the exact same bar, chain, and 8 tooth thats on my 661 video

Yes they can!

I was in the middle of nowhere and couldn't believe it, I'd just sharpened that stupid long chain. The video stops because the cussing started.

If you don't think a foreign object in the tree can cause a kickback, you are wrong. I just hope you don't give the new guys with saws the idea it's ok to run a 661 with one hand. Or any saw for that matter. You going to tell me that a tree falling can't hit another tree and make a limb hit you in the head too. crap can happen quick cutting with saws. always be safe.

Your thing is shorter than mine and that dumaflachy that covers your airfilter is missing. Lol
