Greatest Saw Innovation in Recent Memory?

[Ianab]

I like the cold fusion inertia drive and the laser chain self sharpener.

Sheesh

That shoots down my all ceramic, turbo charged, fuel injected, 10 hp , 5 lb, 4 stroke saw prototype doesn't it

My Maglev Bar/Chain system must not be forgotten!!

You must use the Stihl Synthetic liquid nitrogen for optimum results, as
the wally world crap makes the cutters too brittle.

A close second would have to be the Intenz bar.

 

[Marco]

Intenz bar is a nice band-aid for home owner saws. After seeing blown side covers and holes in bar oil tanks from the pin not being lined up I must say this idea gives an economical option for a repair.

Side adjust chain tensioner!!!!! OMG do I hate an old saw with the front tensioner!!
Andy

Yessssss!!!! One of the reasons my 066 has become my favorite saw. If only the 3120 had an inboard clutch, side adjust, and the adjustment pin on the saw, and not on the side panel....

[cuttinscott]

hmmmm who was first....

Well a few come to mind


Portable Gas powered chain saws.....Dolmar in 1927

Chain Brake has been mentioned....Dolmar was the first to have as standard equipment.

Anti-Vibe.... Dolmar pioneered the 2 mass anti vibe design used by most today..tank and handle v/ engine and bar

Vertical Piston and Cylinder design hmmm Dolmar was the first manufacture to use this thru the whole line

Inboard clutch is nothing new either Dolmar had always had that on 70cc+ saws

Nikasil

I guess it was invented/trademarked late 60s, but when did it first get introduced for the saw market?

[l2edneck]

Stick Saw by far!!!!!!!!!!

i would say the stick saw (power pruner). Im sure some of us remember the days without one.

 

[bama]

Honest truth, I have seen that done with a running saw, chainbrake on, but..... dude had more balls than me!!!!
Andy

All you have to do is squeeze the bar in-between your legs to stop the vibration. What harm could there be?:hmm3grin2orange:

You just ruined Poulan's Christmas surprise!:angry2: Now they will have to fall back on their lifetime chain guarantee and lifetime parts and labor.

Ooooppps.:angry2:

Damn! there goes my stock of 'Eversharp' Won't be able to sell those cans anymore.

My nomination seconds the side adjust.

Also the inboard clutch. I have been there with a jammed saw trying to work the chain over the outboard clutch so I could remove the powerhead. It also makes removing and installing chains easier.

1970, at the latest....

 

[SawTroll]

ok, I haven't seen anything mentioned that wasn't on almost all 15 year old stihls, except for partners "air injection" opcorn:

Just how far back do we have to go for "recent" memory?:monkey:

The CCS, A. I, Turbo etc is also more than 15 years old....
