Just another junk chainsaw

[xyz123]

I wanted to angle it forward more like oem. Kevin brought up he noticed a issue if cutting bigger wood.
Best I can do with what I had to work with.

Can’t do it like Kevin showed me how he would add the lower differently.

What’s that old saying by hacks.
Good enough for who it is for.

Guy in my chainsaw repair group FB. Great thread on carbide chains and sharpening last month.

Yesterday I was curious. Since I can run K095 K041 A041 bars on echo 490 501 etc when changing 3/8LP 325 3/8 etc.

Here is K216 echo bar on top pf the K095 bar to show the differences. Little work on K216 with round file and would fit the K095 saw too.

K095 top in separated pic and K216 bottom

Just like having bars that I can throw on different saws when needed.

2 new ornaments for the tree. I try to get chainsaw ones every year to add.
Got a bunch over the years.

Thinking it is the MS880 I had been looking for awhile now. Like few years.

Other was a stihl key chain I cut the chain off to use this year. Then found buzz.

I have a few of the LED sign's in my shop. One nice thing about them is they pull hardly no electricity but offer a little light to see when the shop lights are off. Plus they look cool.

Yes fools IMO want that.

Common for about half that cost though.

When husky swapped out some of the dealers would sell them for their cost they had in them.

This big one has reflective paint on it so when car lights would shine on it.

I despise the plastic handles on any saw myself. IMHO they vibrate more.

Compared my metal handle 501 with thick rubber coating to plastic handle one like on 4910 490.

Another guy with 590 620 noticed same thing and swapped handles on saws to see. He said metal handle on 590 also vibrated less then the cheap plastic handle. 620 with the plastic handle then vibrated more to him, testing.

Echo 4910 with the vibrating plastic handles. Here is what Corey did to go 572 metal full wrap on his tester back in the day. He stated as soon as went metal with rubber coating vibrations were lot less.

I have noticed the difference in my 501 with aluminum handle and thick rubber coating compared to my plastic handle one.

Not that I need a FW on 50cc but 50 buck for 501 half wrap new.

Buy a whole dang 572 kit for the price on a 501 handle too.
Clutch cover, handle, west coast spikes etc etc. Crazy good price

I don't pay attention to the vibes on any of my saws. Although, I do must of my heavy cutting with newer pro saws and my playing around with some of the other saws. But with that said, I would like to know where you got the FW for the 4910? I will be ordering one pronto....

You got to make them from husqvarna 572 FW handle. Shown in last pic.

Didnt used to bother me either. But my hands can tell now.

Friend has a ported 4910 he wont run because of the vibes from it. Hurts his hands in short time using.

Not only does the 501 aluminum handle with thick rubber coating have less vibration then the 4910 490 cheap plastic handle.

It actually weighs less too just by a hair.

You guys on the fence on the 400 older version. New version feedback

Clayton
I have ran the 400.1 for several months and it’s impressive for its size and weight. It has more torque and you can feel it. In testing they wanted us to stress it and find weaknesses so I ran a 32” bar on it for several hours of use and it did okay.

Picked up a like new Makita EA3600F recently. It's a pretty snappy little lightweight saw.

Had to look that one up. Never heard of it around here and I had a dealer for them local.

Manual info so I could read. Some great info on it.
