[opinion]

Now go visit TK power and get a Husqvarna.

Nothing like someone just itching to say "i told you so". I'm glad everyone had fun. I'll draw my own conclusions about the saw, thank you.

So just fix it now as cheap as possible.

I plan on it, but I've got a bunch of other projects that need to get started when the weather clears. Tree work is only a small portion of our business. Saw will have to sit on the bench for a few weeks.

You are confused - this is a thread about girly saws. You can tell by the pink and white color scheme.

The brake band is only touched on the top . If the brake was engaged it would be clean all the way around . That clutch was a slipping !!

All I've seen from all the pictures in this thread were heartache and TROUBLE...

And here I was hoping to see more pictures of burned up plastic Stihls.

Yeah, I don't know how you the clutch drum could spin with the brake on to make the groove. I have a strong ms311 in my garage and it won't move the drum with the brake on and if the drum is spinning it stops instantly at WOT...and the brake is pretty hair trigger so I don't see how it could be a partially engaged brake unless the spring was weak or something.

Could oil or water on the outer surface of the drum allow it to spin with brake on?

I appreciate when posters like you try to think outside the box and come up with different scenarios. The guy from Stihl absolutely would not back down from his stance about the chain brake being on. But as I said before, he has seen a lot more of them than I have, and some of the more experienced on here seem convinced of the chain brake/operator error scenario as well.

What temp would a silicone saw melt at?

I really don't think the brake was on. If u'r used to a more rugged saw and robust clutch, u'r cutting style may have caused clutch slippage.
