    Need my first "big saw" advice on ms46x's?

    I found that the 8 tooth and 20” bar is dangerous. Now I want to get a mastermind build even more. The thing screams through the logs. Almost time to sharpen it up now. Get rid of that dull factory edge😄 And as everyone else has said, don’t over sell yourself to a potential employer. But also...

    Well the 8 tooth & 20” are on the 500i. Heading out to put a few tanks through it. I shall report back later.

    Employer usually. I provide a few of my own but we negotiated that in my pay. I do this so no one else will touch them.

If you’re going to run the 20” on it a lot I’d switch to an 8 tooth sprocket. Faster chain speed but will let the saw work a bit. With the factory 7 tooth it will just...

    I’ve ran a 28” on my stock 462. Does fine but I prefer a 20” or the 25”. I’ve got a pair of 500i’s that run the 28&32. Occasionally one gets a 36. I’m thinking if you don’t like it with the 28 you could try it with a skip or semi-skip chain to reduce drag
