    I had no idea about the ten packs until I ordered 4 from a place and they sent them in the tube. I've not tried the knockoffs and always buy Oregon sprox.

    I have tried the knock-offs. It wasn't worth it for me as I only got 2 out of 5 that were usable. They were egg shaped enough that tensioning the chain was stupid cuz there would be a tight spot and loose spot every time the sprocket went around... Not a fan...

    Clutch area had some gunk. Cleaned up and lubed clutch bearing.

    Just a curiosity question, more than anything - is there any difference between the sprockets stamped "OREGON" and the ones stamped "POWERMATE"? Assuming the same size/configuration, of course. I know that Oregon calls their rim sprocket system "The Power Mate System" when they sell it with a clutch drum, but why would they stamp the sprockets differently? Maybe different times during ownership transitions? I don't know.

    I concur. Didn't have much time this morning to really run it yet, but did manage to fire it up and make 3 quick cuts through some catalpa wood with it. Throttle response is insane.

    He definitely knows what he's doing. I stopped considering any other builders after my first XS saw.

    I’m eager to see if you covet these plastic case saws as much as I do after porting. I love the weight or lack there of.

    IMG_0512.jpeg Nothin’ fancy for saws. A 20” bar on a Husqvarna 450 and a 16” bar on a 120V Makita. I mainly use the Makita if I want to cut something inside the shop, or for cutting RR ties as they wreck chains and chains are cheaper for that saw. The Makita came from the estate of my wife’s paternal grandmother.
    I would like to find another 450 for backup someday, and buy a good power head that will boss a 24” bar.
