well, I did in fact smoke my new 361 (cringe). It's in the shop right now and I'll be paying a few hundred bucks to restore it to pre doug fir milling condition. It has become painfully apparant that the 361 just ain't gonna do the job, nor do I want to kill it (again) trying to do the job. So, it looks like I'm on to bigger saws and spending more money. Another new saw is out of the question, but I'm really leary of the ebay saws. There is a o66 on there for 460 right now, and I could probably get it for 500bucks but how do I know if the compression and cylinder are good. And 500 bucks is still a lot of money. I'd rather buy a new saw and have it work than a used saw that sucks.
My question to you veteran millers is, where do you think the smart money is for a guy like me who isn't going to be milling a lot but does need a big saw to do the job once in a while? Saw reccomendation, sources? I'd rather get it right this time.
Man, I feel like a dumbass killing a brand new saw.
