Re: Chain saw blade sharpening-hotsaw!
Gordon, that looks like quite a machine. A couple of times I've seen some logger's competitions on TV where they had big, customized, high powered saws just cutting down one stroke and up with the next like a hot knife through butter. I not only wouldn't want to use one; I wouldn't want to be standing within 100 ft. when someone else was using it. Heck, I'm even scared of my little Poulan.

Re: Chain saw blade sharpening-HotSaw
Man, I tell you: Nothing's sacred. How your spies got into my shop, I'll never know.
The muffler also acts as a great felling guide, too - it's just a little crooked.
Actually, I'm interested in getting one of those Husky's to play with. I'd like to compare it stock-for-stock with my Stihl 044, then start tweaking it.
Do you think a tweaked 272 would power a .404 chain in hardwood?

Re: Chain saw blade sharpening-hotsaw!
gordon,
When going full throttle how does one balance the engine so it doesn't pull to one side?
I take it the boiler room has $$$ in engine parts do to the tune muffler??
Hope the gentleman got his ear plugs.
I like all of his toys in the picture /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gifand does that Case have a plow on her?

Re: Sharpener & chain profile
Yes, I have taken down the rakers with it.
I got it from Harbor Freight

Re: Chain saw blade sharpening-HotSaw
Mark Its a super secret and if I told you how I got those pictures I'd have to shoot you. I can say this they came from a dish way up in the sky if you get my drift.
That is one heck of a gunsight you have on that thing, bet it works great on a steep slope.
Yea it would pull the 404 but you would have to change the sprocket and the bar to a 063 gauge bar to handle the 404. But I would go with the .058 bar and 3/8 pitch less spinning weight and that means more available rpm./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Oh yea here is another picture of down---IN The Cut

Re: Chain saw blade sharpening-HotSaw
Gordon,
The backhoe in the photo, the paint as far as I can tell, would seem to mimick my Brutus, though Brutus might be a tad, shall I say, more seasoned. Would you consider that machine "beat up", "normal" or even "great" condition given what it has been through? (I'm STRICTLY referring to paint job ONLY)
What kind of impact (if any) would you suspect that could have on resale if/when that machine was to be sold?
(notice the subtle fishing for wisdom on parallels for Brutus) /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
