Just picked up a 500i

I looked at one at Runnings in NH today. It’s heavier than my MS250, but not that bad. It’s a really nice saw.

 

I have had a chance to actually run a 500i.

I must admit, it is a very nice saw. Little vibrations compared to the Holzforma G660 or the MS362 I have.

 

If there's a CT GTG this year or if we ever go cutting ill let you try mine.

 

Or mine. LOL

Lets get together !

 

Looking forward to one this year.

 

You’re absolutely right about that! That 357 would be a great first one to have done too! Just ask The Wood Wolverine Ran mine Thursday…..the thing just doesn’t slow down on pulling the chain!

 

I’m all for a CT Get together! I unfortunately missed that last one.

 

If I was forced to sell all my saw’s except one, the ported 357 would go last. For me, it’s the perfect firewood saw. When Dan Henry ported it, he described it would be like a ported 346 on steroids. That sums it up well. Sandhillbilly save up some beans and send one of yours to Kevin, or Shaun Carr who is much closer(he’s in Iowa City, Iowa). I guarantee you won’t regret it.

 

Here’s his YT channel.

His port work is art.

 

It makes Mathematical sense too. Cost to port a saw is less than the cost of an additional saw, but it turns your existing saw into twice the saw.

 

This saw has been ported by Shaun (he is only 50 miles from me) he does great work and they really run !!
