Took the saws out today for a few hours. The 066 is a kick in the pants. 32" cedar not much of a challange tho. 13-15 seconds all I had to try it in today. I know it doesn't compare to hikory or maple but to me thats a blazin. Ran it enough to know its a keeper. The 044 ran good 20 seconds thru same wood 8 tooth full skip chisel. Wife had a good time with the 260 and 019t. All is well with the world. Cut 3-5 foot lengths for wifes craft wood. Heres a few pics. Fun loading it in the truck.

And after that comes a bigger garage to keep everything in. And maybe a bigger pickup to haul it to the woods.

address......she makes one or to loafs a week.

Andy, what is good and what is bad when it comes to a vacuum/pressure test? I would assume that a vacuum/pressure dropping to half of its value over 10 seconds is about as bad as you want it for a working saw. A vacuum/pressure dropping to half of its value over, say, 4-5 minutes, should be ok??

Generally, you observation is correct, but pressure drop to half in 10 seconds is unacceptable.

Pressure should be close to perfect - hold almost indefinitely... Vacuum... 0.6 bar dropping to 0.3 bar in a minute or so won't cause too many problems BUT, a good seal will hold indefinitely... so.... if they leak, I just replace them.

Often a marginal seal will show a minor and apparently acceptable leak under test, but still not work well under real saw conditions. The 044 in this case was just like that...

Be careful if you have a decompression valve.. They leak particularly under vacuum - the valve is pulled in by the vac (o.k., pushed on by the outside pressure, but ...). You can hold them up with your finger for a quick test, but plug them if you are trying for a more definitive result.
