Ken, I notice that you mount your cylinder a bit differently on the lathe than we do...I use a "3 finger" expanding mandrel...but good pic all the same...that 2159 should definitely rip when you are done...

expanding mandrel

hello dennis,
send us a picture of how you mount that in the lathe. i've heard machinist's talk about expanding mandrels but never seen one attached to a barrel.

How much does it cost to massage a 2159? I'm so impressed with this saw I'm seriously thinking of buying one.

2159 jonsered question

hello methoss 084,
The 2159 that I did for tony snyder(snydert) Is almost finished, very impressive saw. before I started the mods I filled it with fuel mix and oil and let it run at high idle for 2 8-10 minutes segments. then i cut with it. in a 13 inch pine it cut a 8.58 second cut. after all the modifications it cut a 4.65 in the same log with the same bar and chain. not bad , about a 45 % improvement in cutting time. enclosed a photo after last cut. excuse the sacks-dolmar bar but it was the right length.
I charge 300.00 dollars for the modifications on a woods saw
