Homelite EZ-10 Cut-off saw

[HomeDelight Man]

I am looking for a Homelite EZ-10 cut-off saw. This model was based of a Super EZ chainsaw and ran 10" cutoff wheel. Any body have one? Thanks, Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, I dont have a cutoff saw for you but I have this Super Zip I could trade for one of your tiny Homelites. The Zip appears to have nothing wrong with it or missing parts. I also have some antique Homelite literature I will include. I can send the Super Zip first so you can check it out before you decide. If its not a good deal for you you are welcome to keep the Zip at no charge.
I appolagize about the snow storm, the saw was sitting in my truck and when I went outside I saw it was snowing again, but the saw has always been inside.

Hi John, well that is a mighty fine offer the problem is I got to many ZIPs, right now. I know you can dig up some juicier stuff than that. How about I send you a Super EZ, and you tell me what a fair trade would be. I attached a picture of a Super EZ see what you think. Thanks, Jonathan

Here it is!

A very Rare saw indeed

Hi Johnathan, you may be the proud owner of this most beautiful chainsaw. It belonged to none other than the Legendary " Big Joe Mufferaw". Legend has it that the Mississippi River driped off of Big Joes face. Its a brute for sure. It just needs a little buff job, and has lots of compression. I can include the Homedelight antique literature with it as well. More pictures to follow.

This saw was bilingual as well and was used by Big Joe to cut down the French Maple of the Ottawa Valley. This saw will definately be a head turner in your showroom their Jonathan.

You'll have to excuse this question from someone not in the know, but what's the big advantage to a Super EZ? Because it looks like a mini SXL-925?

Why wouldn't someone looking for a small saw want a mini XL, Super2, Xl-123?

John L, do you have any vintage saws that are indoors?

 

[HomeDelight Man]

It is hard to explain why the Super EZ's cut so good. They just do. The xl's don't have as much power and torque, and the XL-123 is heavier closer to a Super XL. EZ's are a very torquey little saw. You have to use one to understand the power.

Hey, Mr. HomeDelight Man, do you have any information on a Homelite Super XL 130? This is my dad's and has had it since 1976 when he purchased it new. Unfortunately, he can't find any of the paper work that came with the saw. Any help you can give will be appriciated. Your Super EZ looks great!!
Thanks

Hello, The XL-130 was only sold in Canada, I think it was the sister saw of the XL-123 in the US. 3.55 cubes, auto and manual oiler, nice saw. Hope this helps, Jonathan

Old Packard slogan: "Ask the man who owns one". Looks like I'll have to find an EZ for my own use.

I have a VI-123, which is the cobbled-together antivibe version of the XL-123, which I believe is the domestic version of the XL-130. Whew. Go to Homelite's website and find the info request page. Make sure you have your UT number in addition to the model. They should be able to send you an owner's manual, or at least a parts list. That's what I've done with my older Homelite stuff so far.

I like my VI-123. It's a good saw for time, but not as light or pretty as it's non-VI counterpart (yours). It does have a decompression valve, however.

John the Super EZ is the best 2.5 cube saw I have used to date. They run 3/8 on a 16 inch bar great. I have two of them I am restoring now, one is the older EZ model. They will flat out spank a Super2

Hi There, I went to a couple of flee markets today and Homelites seemed to find me, I wasnt sure what I was looking at so I didnt buy, but it is amazing how saws jump out at you when you look.
When I get Jonathans saw I will honour it by adorning it with a racing chain by Art Martin. Im in with the right crowd now and have an appointment with one Ed Heard of Haliburton who eats thinks and breaths hotsaw. I asked Ed how long a hot chain can remain sharp when cutting clean barkless pine or Poplar. He said it could last several competitions as long as knots arent encountered and the chain is not abused in transport as Mr. Martin has advised.
I hope to see Ed by Wed. and will take pictures of his hotsaws if he'll let me. I get to visit Gib, the chainsaw man as well who has a saw for me, so I will take pics and maybe buy a 346.

What do old Homelites go for up in your neck of the woods? Pretty slim pickings where I am. I've found about two saws per year around here.

Hello all, I hate to dig this post up again, but I am still looking for a Homelite EZ-10 cutoff saw. This item seems to be pretty rare, as I have called upon many old time Homelite dealers, most of them not having a clue what I was talking about. So, maybe somebody here will track one down. Thanks, Jonathan

Here is a pic of a hot saw!

John, you have to get in with the right people. I picked up a Buz in really good shape this past week for free. If you put the word out, the saws come out of the woodwork.

The PM Canadien 270 is not a rare saw.
A very popular saw in it's day. Made in Vancouver, BC Canada too. I have at least 20 of them in my shed.
