Maybe some yellowish in color and must be milled fresh? I think it'd be fun to have yellow cants :hmm3grin2orange:

Well it's holding around 12,000 in the cut........pretty snotty little bugger. I'm waiting on Monty to pick up a saw. Then I'll get a chunk of wood for a video. I'm not sure if I can post it today.......it might be tomorrow or Monday. I'm taking the family out to eat this evening, and I'm gonna start trying to stay away from saws on Sundays.

otstir: Reckon we're about 12 hours away from the shop opening Monday morning. Pretty pumped about videos tomorrow.

I tried to get the tach to read long enough to get a video of it in the cut.....even made a clamp to hold it. I'll try again tomorrow.

Randy,
Talked to BIL again tonight. Irregardless of your findings on the 55, he gave the go ahead on building a 5100 for him. Let me know when it and the 2100 is done and I'll bring you monies for both.:msp_wink:

I like me some monies.......

The saw turned out pretty good EXCEPT

It's not Red and Black. Screw all that fancy milling, and extended dial indicators. It's a scientific proven fact Red and Black add more torque, horsepower, and RPM. The 2253 has that advantage, so its really not fair to compare all that technical mumbo jumbo to Red and Black. I'll have a pic in the near future.

But for an Orange its pretty good. Just hard to find when I put it on the tractor.:msp_tongue:

Looking at the last line of your sig..... you got 3 with Terry?

Thanks for another great thread, since I've joined I've been working my way through most of the build threads and they are all a great read.
I really liked the heatshrink to hold the 1/4 drive bit, I'm sure I'll be stealing that idea when I get stuck sooner or later!

A few more pics......

I've never found a set of tee handles that have security torx tips, so I made this with a 1/4" nut driver, a bit, and some heat shrink tubing.....

I assume you dont mean solid tip torx bits as these seem readily available (I have a re-branded set in my shed) -

T-Handles - ProHold® Star Tip

I havent seen a price, and I doubt I want to, but hollow tip torx T-handles the only ones I've seen are -

It's tough to get a tach shot on this saw.......it hits the limiter and makes the tach go stupid. Here's a pretty good shot though......I had to pull it down further than really wanted to keep it off the limiter.
