I didn't say that, but the toolcat is a hell of a machine. Already done! I had to make a few cookies since a few of those ash rounds were too long, Cuts nice and straight again. It was doing the curve cuts with the old worn out bar. If you're looking for a new bar, granted the dolmars use husky mounts ( unless you use an adapter to use Stihl mounts) , the online store I got this from was the best price.
I really like them both. I converted the Smurf to .325 and run a vintage Remington roller nose bar on it off an SL-9 saw. Originally I was running 3/8 lp on this bar but the tip was wider than the kerf so it would get hung up in the cut so I did the .325 x .050 conversion which fixed that problem. I put the velocity stack and filter on before Kevin ported it.
Ya know, you all are a bad influence according to my financial advisor.....wifeSeriously tho, love you guys
Yeah no crap! I had no intentions of buying a bar anytime soon but my 346 could stand to wear a new 16” Sugi. Also looking into ported saws now! But which one to have ported, that is the question? damm you FHC.
Mostly the same across the board. I charge less if the cylinder doesn’t need the compression bumped up. Depends on what you want to cut with it
Since Blount got bought out the last time, I believe Oregon bars are now mostly if not all Chinese. So you can upgrade to a Tsumura in most smaller bar sizes for about 10-20% more $. Not a bad deal since most will never wear out a Japanese bar
I thought you had said that to me about compression. it only varies based on if base needs cut or not but I didn't want to quote you incorrectly. Horses mowf is da best place for correct information. Lol.
Got this one on the way thanks to this thread! 24" .050 Tsumura Super Light Pro Chainsaw Bar Fits Echo Cs-590 Timberwolf, Cs-600P, Cs-620P, Cs-670, Cs-680, Cs-800P, Cs-8000 029FK4
6421, for now.... That said it keeps up with my buddy's 460 magnum that's 78cc. I can't wait until I make it an 80cc ported saw.
UPDATE: cuts great! I was worried about the 590 being able to pull the 24" bar with authority, but I think the LPX more than made up the difference over the stock safety chain.
