How about my 7900.

Andyshine77 · Apr 29, 2009

Well a made some cookies with my 7900. It's the same wood, and the same B&C that I used on my 372.

How does it compare to your 372?

Cool!!

So who's got the times on the 372 and then on this one?

LOL It's a good practice race chain.

Nice, I need to learn how to sharpen a faster chain. I'd like to have a few square chains for fun.

It's a little bit more than just a square chain.

I came up with 2.56 for the 7900 and 2.37 for the 272, very close. The log was getting a bit smaller when I made the cuts with the 7900. The 7900 appears to be more forgiving, as my times were more consistent with the 7900.

Ya I figured so. I meant square would be a good start for me.

That 7900 is tuned to perfection.

Sounds gnarly.

Andy, is that a limiter I hear?

It sure is. A modded saw will almost always turn more rpm's than a stock saw, so yes it's hitting the limiter. From what I've been told a modded 7900 without a rev limited coil can turn something like 16,000 rpm.

I'd like to tune a limited saw sometime... Wouldn't you want to tune in the wood? Go rich side--back to lean side (stop when you hear the saw underpowered in either direction), and pick the best spot in the middle?

That's exactly how I tune my 7900's, It's one of the best ways to tune most any saw.

I thought the 7900 was a little faster but it is very hard to tell. The 372 sounds meaner, kind of like a cornered mountain lion. Thanks for the vids, nice to see two modded saws compared. Now how about those same saws compared in stock version? I have a 7900 to offer, anyone with a bone stock 372 near Rhode Island?

Andyshine77 · May 1, 2009

The 372 is the faster saw, however I find the 7900 a bit easier to run + the wood was getting smaller as I worked my way down the log. The 372 also had more to give as far as tuning goes. :cheers:

Both are saws I would be proud to own!!!

How about my 7900.
