Even more than a XPW that's been done well
Hardly, according to my sources! :msp_wink:

I ran Jd's Treemonkey 7900 at Wiggs last gtg, it was impressive to say the least. I havent ran a xpw yet that wanted any of it imo. Id like to have one myself one day.
The good things in life can take a little more work... A 7900, if done well, will make you smile...
Sure, but there just isn't enough metal to work with, in some important places - at least that is how I understand it...
As I understand it, the 7900 is far from the most modification friendly saw ot there....:msp_wink:

Not true at all. No matter what "they" say. :cool2:

I do it that way too, for two reasons.Because that's the way I choose to do it. I check stock squish, figure out how much I want to take out of the chamber then do a little math in my head on how much to take off the base after to achieve desired squish, just the way I do it.
I do it that way too, for two reasons.
1. The mandrel will find any ridge, burr etc and will also double check how perpendicular I cut the squish band in relation to the bore.
2. Cutting the base last makes it much easier to fine tune your squish. Cut, measure, cut again, easy peezy.
The build now is on hold till I get another piston. Not going to use the stock one, should be able to make it work fine, however I wish I would of known before I did the machine work, oh well.

The 7900 is one of my most valued saws. It always puts a smile on my face. Watching
Pretty sure that was your saw in the video I posted.
I think you are right. It will put a smile on anyone's face.
Anyone have any experience with the new slab sided piston for the 7900? Is it worth the money to get? Does it give any advantages in skirt width?
went to far already?
No, haven't done anything yet, just the machine work as I posted. I just got a inside tip on a good piston to try in the 7900, and I'm going to try it and see what happens, ordered the piston, hopefully will be here in a week.
What I meant was, I wish I knew about the piston swap before I did the machine work, since the crown height is a little different, but easy to overcome, will either take a little off the top of the piston or run a thicker gasket.
An 046 piston should fit .
That's not what I'm using, but I wonder how that would work.
