50:1 and milling is going to end badly. 25:1 would be better.

Oops...

i have had my clone 660 on my logosol mill for a few yrs,(actually have to mill boards in a few min.) I run 32:1 no issues yet.

I have an actual MS881, the stock compression is nuts, the power crazy, build quality is top-notch, it's an awesome saw. Fire it up and a crowd gathers, and for good reason: It's a few steps beyond "sensible," which is immediately obvious.

The smurfy clone is a reasonable copy for the price, and to many people it makes sense to own a clone (politics aside). It doesn't get the same response, it's just a big saw. Recognise it needs some special consideration and it'll do the job well, including fairly big jobs.

I think in the "big picture" the long- term cost of knock-off saws is going to become more apparent, that's not something I want to get into beyond mentioning people should put some thought into their buying decisions and make intelligent choices.

ya i bought one too, have a 880 and i used to mill with my 084.

They just had those clone 66's for 269 shipped by US dealers. Be one of those saws just buy another over paying labor cost and parts to fix. Unless your doing the work yourself.

This G660 and G888 lives on locals mill. He had 800 in pair and still going years later now. But they run 40:1 and VPracing oil.
