    Aint that something? My phone will film in 1080p. These dang phones today will do more than video recorders did a few years ago. It takes nicer pictures than any of our digital cameras, and can do some nice editing pretty quickly too. I cant get over this new phone technology.

    I like it myself. The original "Droid" was a nice phone.. Heck, even my Blackberry's were great phones. But the camera and video on them now is amazing.

    I have an HTZ supreme/vital. Its a chinese company. And is like a knockoff Galaxy s4. I love it. Way better than my old kyocera junker I had when I was testing the smart phone waters.

    Here's something about the 51.4mm jugs that a lot of guys fail to notice.....

    See this hump? It's actually where the main transfer tunnel is choked down.

    The 50mm jug is more open.

    [​IMG]

    The uppers are smaller on the 51.4mm jug too.

    [​IMG]

    This is a 50mm jug for comparison.

    I have to do some serious grinding on the 51.4mm XPW jug. If those transfers aren't opened up, it will never run like a 50mm saw.

    This was just something I was doing to keep me from going crazy while I was recovering from Lymes, and on Interferon treatments for HepC. I never intended to get this deeply into porting saws. I just planned on doing this until I got strong enough to go back to framing houses.

    Funny how things work out........I'll likely never frame another house. At my age it was a good idea to get away from that line of work anyway. I was damm good at it though, and hated to give it up completely.

    Exactly what I think Brian. They wanted more torque, and less RPM for those units.

    Yes. Very funny how things seem to work out Randy. I never thought I would have a kid or not be working for the state. Here I am doing both lol. And like you, its been for the better. I credit it to the good Lord though. I firmly believe he has a plan for all of us.

    There's some small differences in the jugs. By the time you get the xpw uppers to the intended numbers they're pretty tall. I want to do another 50mm to see how it would turn out.

    so
    if i am thinking correct my 371k chop saw may have choked down ports also ? and explains why it is a low revving gutless thing ?,i think the wheel has a sticker that says 5400 rpms,i am sure that is wheel speed ,not engine rpm's
