nice u useing the saw to trim shell casings???....lolcouldn't stand the white plastic part of the wrap anymore so I painted it.little 320 grit sand paper to rough up the surface and give something for the paint to bond to. Turned out good.
Here are the specs from the owners manuals 661 vs 660
before
After
Well done.my 404 presets showed up today so I'm making some headway on my 404 vs 3/8 project... will be using the 661 as the test saw
28" tsumura with a 404 tip
3 types of chains - Stihl 404 RS, 2 experimental chains..
middle chain - take a Stihl 404 RS, break it at every 5th DL alternating between cutter and tie strap taken out. Then put it back together so it's a half skip. Probably have 4hrs and 2 bags of presets into it. I need help I know. lol
bottom chain - take a Stihl 404 RS, grind off every 3rd cutter - you basically get 2 cutters (Left and Right) followed by two open Drive lengths. I call it a Double Skip. heh
I also made the same 3 chains in 3/8ths ...well i'm working on the half skip. i need more presets.
close up of the half skip
close up of the double skip - nice grind job. Special thanks to Big T Double
3/8ths vs 404 404 is huge but I'm betting the 661 has the balls!
I love how ambitious and scientific you are! I have been pondering the advantages of 404 chain. I've ask most of the people I know with saws and none of them have ever run a saw with 404 chain. I look forward to your test results. Keep up the awesome work!my 404 presets showed up today so I'm making some headway on my 404 vs 3/8 project... will be using the 661 as the test saw

I will never do a "race chain" again.
Yep. You can spend a ton of time on one.I will never do a "race chain" again.
It will be a normal work chain, I wont ever get those 26hrs back, and that was skip
