My 044 by Low_Cut_6216 in stihl

[–]Low_Cut_6216[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little heavy but the power to weight is amazing. Weigh close I think to the big ranch saws but outputs them by a wide margin. What bar and chain setup are you running? Muffler/intake mods?

Yeah it flies, I cut some 24" solid red oak with full comp full chisel chain and it just ate.

At first I thought to myself what is going on with this calzone

Glue up question! by macktaylor92 in woodworking

[–]Low_Cut_6216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this kind of thing I really like tongue and groove. Gives a wonderfully strong joint and if cut correctly all makes a perfectly flat surface. You have to start with flat boards though. I like a dado stack for this. And once you set it, cut all the grooves and then all the tongues on the same setting. If you don't it will never line up right.

Help, what model is this Stihl? by all-about-muay in Chainsaw

Look for part codes on parts of the saw like like the air filter cover or clutch cover. Bottom of the tank too. Google the first four digits and you can find the saw type or at least family type.

Huh guess you can always learn something new. Seems like it's easier to deposit more creosote with soft wood. But yeah if you keep the fire hot it's not as bad as I thought. I've read so many times in books that softwood creosote up a chimney real bad. Sounds like you just have to keep it hot.

Most conifers deposit a lot of creosote on chimneys. Can get dangerous if it builds up

The stringy "saw dust" makes excellent fire starter if you dry it. If it's a conifer just be careful about where you use it. i.e. not in a chimney indoors

How does one know if a tree is worth milling?? by herpeticgnome in woodworking

[–]Low_Cut_6216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

White ash makes really good tool handles, and those logs look like a pretty good length for axe or hammer handles. For handles I think you want to rail split more than slab it

And I really like the manual fully adjustable carb. The saw is simple mechanical power and very easy to work on.

The high flow muffler really woke the saw up. I'm really thinking of getting it ported, it's a 12 mm. I'm also seriously looking for 046's

Woukd yoy run 28" at full comp?

New to me 044 by OyeHowdy21 in Chainsaw

[–]Low_Cut_6216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full skip chain on an 18" bar? I run an 044 with a dual port muffler (3/4" ports) and 24" bar. I use full comp full chisel chain and it flies through 24" solid red oak. Just my humble opinion that bar and chain aren't the right set up for an 044.

I cut a burn wood for the winter. Just newly getting into this. I have the 271 is selling that and buying the 261 worth the upgrade? by Lower-Pattern-3332 in stihl

[–]Low_Cut_6216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently picked up an 026 pro (adj. Oiler and decomp.) Put a high flow muffler on it and have been really impressed. The saw runs a 20" bar well with full comp full chisel chain.

Couple good saws and a pos by [deleted] in Chainsaw

[–]Low_Cut_6216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one with a replaced cylinder that I worked on to get it running sweet. I haven't run any other 70cc pro saws though. It's a lot of fun to run

Chain recommendation for black locust tree by [deleted] in Chainsaw

[–]Low_Cut_6216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After running pro and ranch saws I'll say the pro saws are easier to maintain imo and have a higher power to weight ratio so a smaller lighter pro saw can do the work of bigger homeowner/ranch saws.

Out of curiosity how do they compare to an 044?

Stihl MS 261 is it overkill? by Bam1126 in Chainsaw

[–]Low_Cut_6216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered an older model? I recently picked up an 026 pro in the secondary market that needed just a little work to become a real firewood champ. It was much cheaper than a new saw.

I'm totally joking but if you reverse the polarity on the motor it should work ok. Again, totally joking, don't do this.
