How about that even an old dog can learn new tricks!!!! LOLOL!!!!
I don't like big bore kits. Yes I would be happy to mod it for you.Hey Simon,
Would you be interrested in modding a 441? I need it for milling planks for my cabin project to be used on a logosol mill. Can the 441 have a Big Bore Kit put on and modded at the same time?
Yes.Hey Simon do you still think porting the transfers reduces torque?
When are one of you builders gonna come out with the forced induction ported saw? ...
funny you say that,,
I built this 066 about 5 years ago when Gypo Logger was hanging out here more,,, with some of Dennis' porting reccomendations that he use to use on Falling saws back in the day,,,
Nice advice/rant, WYK, but I had nothing to do with those videos , just thought you might enjoy reading the thread :msp_unsure:.
Along that line of thinking, please don't look at the vids I posted from the TX GTG a few years ago, they were my first serious effort at taking & posting videos--I already know that they pretty much suck :msp_sad:.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! How?Good you built your own RR.......I still help my boy with his work saws, but really don't play with worksaws much anymore. Aaron is still cutting timber and shooting his bow everyday. He's into competition archery. From day one, my interest was seeing that the woodtic's learn to build their own saws and not get ripped off from the so-called "woodsporters". I think the last 372 build proved even the amatures can build a woodsport saw as well as most of the pro builders on the site.......Hahahahahahaha!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! How?
The way I see it time is money. So if we take a MS460 that you charge $275.00 to do and it takes me 20 hours total time to achieve similar results then that makes my time worth $13.75 per hour. That is if I don't screw up and kill a piston or other part from not being as familiar with this type of work as you are. Because then my time is worthless and I will be going into the hole. Don't get me wrong here I know there are people out there that consider this stuff a hobby and for them I say go for it. But for me I will do what I do best and fix equipment. Thats why when I needed my saw modified I sent it out to a professional and I used that saved time to make more money and spend time with my family.
I can see what you are saying for some rare cases. Remember I build saws for fallers. Fallers here make just under $100.00 an hour. To them a saw is just a tool that makes their lives easier if it is lighter and stronger. The only saws I can recall building for non-fallers are the two I did recently. A 372XP for RiverRat2 to use in the GTG build-off and an MS460 for IndianSprings. In both cases I charged zero for labor so actually lost money. I am not complaining, I did them both to prove my saws. I was called out, I produced. Have a safe and fun weekend guys.
How is your 460 progressing Rick? Will must have it done by now.
