    A lot of the good porters are going to get 250.00 plus shipping.

    I'm ok with that as long as there are good results. I LOVE this saw and really want a little more umph from it.

    That price seems like a deal for the work involved, somehow I was figuring it was more.

    What about a cs8000 or cs680 ? I have a couple of each so I'd be interested in having a saw ported. Honestly I've never run a ported saw so I guess I should get on the ball.

    Another vote for Joe Red97

    He knows them inside and out. Worth the wait. Bet you get something special back.

    Have you seen this?

    Aaron, have you taken up square filing yet? I’ve personally seen 30% gains going from round (very sharp round from my Timberline jig) to razor sharp square. That’s about the gains had from porting.

    To me it seems like of a lot of money for the work involved. Porting a saw is not that difficult. Especially a woods port.

    Never tried to mod one, taken many apart though. Definitely have the tools to pull it off. Thing is without the knowledge of what I'm after I'd be shooting in the dark. Maybe if I could buy a set of prints from someone for a tried and true combination I'd go for it.

    A woods port job these days consists of cutting the base, setting the squish then doing the ports. Kinda tough to do without a lathe.

    I've got 5 lathes. Setting the squish is straight forward enough, if I was given a target number. But the ports is where I lack knowledge, not on the metalworking end but in the design department.
