As a matter of fact my sawyer discovered iron about 15-20 foot up in an ash log I took from the center of my woods .Couple 16 penny nails which cost me the price of a Wood Mizer blade .
Now that isn't the half of it ,he didn't find them all .Somehow I missed them by a hair with both a carbide...
"A chainsaw tooth travels around the bar at about 250 miles per hour. More chain speed can be obtained by swapping out the stock 7 tooth sprocket for the 8 tooth version. This speed comes at the cost of less power. "
I hate to act like a smart azz but somehow you got some figures incorrect .A 7...
I think it was that saw or another of Cuts 084's I made my fastest 3 cut ever in 4 flat on cants .Kevin used the same saw and got 3.35 seconds .The stocker in my shed did it in 6 flat .
You can have a damned good engine and a fine chain but the guy on the throttle can out do both of them .
As...
I do my own too with relatively good success .
As far as a clam shell about the best you can do is some exhaust work .On that I've got a clam shell 70 cc Mac that cranks on at over 15,000 but you really wouldn't care to use it as a work saw .It's just a big kids' toy .:)
Ditto regarding a 660 as oppossed to the old 066 .The EPA and others I think forced the hands of the manufacturers .They aren't quite the icon they once were .
You get a big azzed saw like an 084 / 088 or 3120 or even oldies like my big Macs you really don't have to do a thing to them .They were made for big wood and go through 40 inch stuff and never break a sweat so to speak .
Say it's 20" stuff a good running 80 cc will cut about as fast .You gotta...
FWIW most people including myself who own over 100 cc saws very seldom use them .The 084 Stihl in my shed belongs to Tom the tree man . In the last 4 or 5 years the only action that saw has seen is my running it at GTGs' .Fact I'm very surprised with as much inactivity it gets that it runs so...
