Here's some barbwire from a few years ago.

This 346 cuts as fast as a stock 360. Small saws are fun, but can be more dangerous than larger ones. Mainly because of the type of work they are designed for and the shorter bar.

I have only replaced the rings twice whether it needed it or not, putting one new one in the top and leaving the old one in the bottom.

Hmm,and people think I'm a tight wad.

 

[Al Smith]

I strongly disagree with the idea that a ported saw will do the job of a larger saw. It simply will not, but it will do the job it was intended to do better after porting.

Well say this isn't so.I can't believe that Ben Walker is no longer advocating that a 70 cc modified saw will out perform a stock 100 cc one.

There must have been a theft of his password,this is totaly out of the ordinary.If somebody has kidnaped him,turn him loose,he has work to do,fishing season is just around the corner.

Al, I've spent more on sawchain than you have spent on chainsaws.

I don't doubt it a bit.Then again,you may have crushed more than I have ever owned,ya know.

Well gee,maybe it was a 60 cc saw ported against an 80 not ported.Lots of stories ya know.

If I recall correctly some thing about an "Employee "crushing a saw,another place on the internet.Then a story of one B.Walker crushing a saw his ownself,posted on this site,hmm.Oh,silly me,most likely two different saws.Ha.

Well no harm done except for the poor old saw.On the brighter side,yourself plus your "Employee" are now members of the elite saw crushing community of which Gyp is president emeritus.

I have never claimed any employee crushed a saw of mine.
If you go read the thread in question you will see I made mention of the fact that I was buying a new saw and some used parts for the crushed one in order to have one beater for my employees to use and one ported saw for myself.
I dont know how you can misconstrue that into me saying a employee crushed my saw.
Nice try there Grizz Adams.

Why do you beat and crush your employees?

To port or not too

Andy, do you have hp envy? LOL

Fred

It was a easy choice for me. My tree partner has the same saw and he would always say his saw was picking up more speed and running better.
Had my saw built...
No more talk about who's saw is better now!

That's the truth, Gypo how's that 385 doing??

It's doing great! I still have four of them, one I haven't started yet. The Chippewa's are still hanging in there.
