Noodling takes less work than end cutting.

And it's more fun . . . . 'cause you end up with noodles!

Okay okay, now I will for sure. Maybe later today if I get to one of those lugs.

and they are great for starting fires. Under clutch covers☺

And at least from the top, a beauty of a 65.

It was seized when I bought it. First saw I rebuilt from a full case split. Found a parts saw and made it into a real nice runner, starts in two pulls. Lots of torque.

I guess I need a longer bar to noodle. Once the tip starts cutting it doesn't really self feed.

It is also very rough on the bar and chain. Chain dulls very quickly.

 

[briantutt]

It's a ripping chain if that makes any difference

Those are still 'chips'.



These are 'Noodles'! More photos of noodles, along with a discussion on chain type, in this thread:

If your bar is not long enough, you can also hold the bar at an angle, such as in this video (may have to watch it on YouTube):


Less chopping of the tough wood fibers/grain, and more cutting with the softer 'pith'(?).

Oh wow, what a mess! I will have to watch that video a little later

If you look close, that first photo is PowerSharp chain on an electric saw. Some people don't think either of those things work. Wrong!

What is this i hear of a new 70cc husky autotune?

Tree monkeyed 562 is the angriest saw I've ever run. I'll take my chances as whatever comes out next may certainly have some teething problems.

I agree totally unless I know the people personally doing the testing, or have some great insight on the new technology.
I like to let others be on the front lines and work the bugs out of the "beta" versions.

Never used either one, but electric motors can have mad torque.

I'm done, but it doesn't mean I won't be getting more when I get a minute.
I think next season I'll actually plan on selling a good bit.
