dissecting an earthquake chainsaw

[tbone75]

Five projects preventing you from working on another? Really? Five? FIVE?!?!!?

I have five ON MY BENCH!!

I have another ten under the bench and about twenty more on the shelves in the corner.

Your thinking is lacking in commitment, my friend. It sounds to me like you're allowing little things like work, eating, and drinking to get between you and your CAD projects. A lack of commitment indeed.

I lost count of how many saws I have apart ? LOL Pul one down,see what parts I need,on to the next,and on and on ! LOL Then when I get the parts I put one together, sometimes ? LOL I at least put the parts in its box with the saw they go to. LOL I will get to it some time? Got at least 5 like that ! Plus 3-4-5-6 on the benchs. LOL There are getting to be a little to many like that !

Well if it helps my case at all just today I bought a 575xp basket case and a J-Red 670 project, I also make bamboo fly rods......of which I have 4 waiting for wraps, and the Case 430 w/ a FEL that I picked up last week needs some serious TLC.......one of these days I'd like to drive the tractor into the woods with a bucket full of saws, the Ripsaw and leave the cluttered workbench behind

I'll say it again MM these saws and retune them change the b/c and these saws are not bad to use at all :msp_smile:

CHANGE THE B/C!? I thought everyone used the excuse that "at least the b/c is worth the price"? Now to find out that you, of all people, are throwing more $$$ into the 'quakes... I'm at a loss.

There is nothing wrong with the B&C that is on it, I'm not sure why you would change it. Oregon Lo Pro chamfer chisel is good stuff and well suited to a saw this size. Properly sharped it cuts quite fast, and the small ramped drive links don't get in the way.

I think the chamfer chisel is a good compromise between chisel and semi chisel. I use a lot of it and I like it at least as much as the Carlton or the Oregon VXL semi chisel.

I agree. I was impressed with the chain once I sharpened it. It stayed sharp through five tanks before needing a touch up. It has to be one of the least intrusive safety chain designs i've seen. It even seems to bore cut ok although that may change as it wears. There really isn't anything wrong with the oregon bar either. I really like the 14" bar on this size saw but the 16" is only four more links which isn't even an inch longer than the 14.

I'm always trying different things with saws; chains; different MM etc :msp_smile:

Life no fun if you don't try different things :msp_smile:

now listen up non believers of earthquakes,,, now follow me on this,,, a cord of wood saves me right at 500.00 worth of electricity since our house is all electric,, my little 40.00 earthquake has already saved me 500.00 worth,, i have already cut almost a full cord of wood with it,, so in turn i have saved 460 if you factor in the cost of the saw,, i still haven't sharpen the chain yet and its still throwing chunks,,, seems every time i use it its getting stronger,,, so for a $40 saw i am not complaining,, heck i still haven't fueled up my huskie or stihls yet this cutting season

Took the little MMed Earthquake out today and downed a dead Elm that is 20" and four other crooked Sassafras that were 8 to 12". After I got the carb set, it's a fun little screamer and really easy on the old bones. I have me another keeper.:msp_wink:
