Getting closer..... [IMG] [IMG]
Now we grind......that piece of card stock is my guide......that tells me how high to cut the ports. [IMG] We also sand some stuff. :) [IMG]
I've picked up a few tricks.......and this is a good one to share. See those studs? They allow the jug to stay centered without bolting it down...
Now to mount the degree wheel. Gotta have a pointer.....I use SS Tig wire. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Moving on..... [IMG] After cutting the squish band.... [IMG] And I'll cut .052 from the base, for a clearance of .023 [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
This is the only difference I found between the jug from last year's ill fated release of the 661, and this year's re-release. [IMG]

OK........the saw is all apart.....the jug is ready to start being machined. If y'all wanna discuss the way this think is built.......fire away....

My lovely wife helped me with the pics. She handles a camera pretty well, for a girl. Let's take a look under the hood. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Some of you might know that the MS661 has not been released in the US yet........this saw wandered over from Canada somehow. [IMG] A very hungry...
The reason I'm doing this saw really sucks. As most of you probably know......our friend Phil has passed away. He was far too young to be leaving...
I just got home from NC........and Isabell took me for a walk right after cleaning my glasses with her tongue. Yeah, I'm her pet. :)
There's one on ebay........175.00 :(
And it's time for lunch.... Homemade vegetable beef soup that my daughter made.......yeah, it's really good. [IMG] damm.......just look at that...
A little machine work.... Here I'm cutting the plating from the inside outward......stops it from chipping when I cut the base. [IMG] Oh...
