Help me identify this thing!

Anybody know if this one is available in the US?

 

As a length measuring device, that looks like a terrible idea. The indicated length would change dramatically with subtle changes in the saw's orientation.

 

Or the shape of the log too. And it better be a high powered laser if you're going to point at a distant object. But it looks so cool.

Every time you use it, you have to announce: "I am Locutus, of Saw!"

 

This is the biggest bull......... that ever make. cost about 100 euros + the base and can not see it in light conditions, exept if you cut only in night.

 

All good quality things are pricey thats have prooved , for the availability out of germany contact the shop i thing that is.

 

The Germans are a little more stuck with the quality of theirs products see cars , tools , and many others , so if this thing is a factory produce and not a home made, be 100% sure that have been tested thousand times and in conditions that you and me can not even imagine.
for example the saws test in a vibration machine for about one week 24 hour a day non stop, and then in the freezer in - 40 c for the same time.
I think that noone of us put his saw in - 40 and then pull the starting rope .

 

I'm not as young as I used to be, so I call it quits at -10°F / -23°F. Incidentally, my MS170 won't start on Motomix at +11°F / -11°C. It will start on pump gas with Stihl Premium 50:1 at -10°F.

 

Are you talking straight gas

 

Sorry. No, regular pump gas with Stihl Canadian Premium at 50:1. Orange capped white bottle.

 

Then what is motomix? I thought that was a type oil?

 

Motomix is Stihl's premixed 2 cycle oil and high quality alkylate gasoline. Husky has a similar pre-mixed gasoline.

Oh ok. Its just the canned E free fuel.

I have some of that Echo branded at work but I dont use it personally. Just buy E free gas

 

I use a small stick the length I want and a "wood crayon" from my local home improvement store at around a buck each. The crayon will last well over a year unless I get crazy about cutting huge numbers of cords of wood. Before I buck a log I walk along it with pre-measured stick in left hand and crayon in right hand. In almost no time I have marked all of my cuts and bucking is guided by those simple crayon marks. If I really need more precision I guess I could use some kind of magnetic level to keep my saw perfectly vertical but who needs that kind of precision for firewood?

 

to understand you say that your saw can not start - work with motomix , and start-work with pump gas, ??

 

It will start and run at 40°F / 5°C and above on Motomix just fine. That should be -10°F / -23°C in my first post.

 

ok why the firewoods must be cut in so accurate dimensions?

 

I dont know where the "locutus of saw thing is from" but like Pantelis this presicision is just crazy. I know too long for the stove is a pain but who really cares if one is 14.5"s long and the others are 16.25"s long and so forth?

 

Make a nice kickstand for those 346s that like to lay down on the job...

 

All theese thinks like lasers, sticks , e.t.c for me is a bull........ or if you want better is a brainwash methods just to take our moneys
