Sometimes I think people are pushing the envelope just a little to far to be calling saws a woods ported work saw.  Here is a 7900 crank after a porter in northern Ohio had a oops with a customers saw.  :o Yep I seen this first hand.

I like the answer you get sometimes when they are talking about these GTG's there having now and out right tell you that the saw they have is a work saw so it will not be even close to the others , Last time I thought a woodsport meant it was to be able to go cut 8 hours straight everyday without any trouble not 3 cookies and call it a day

Memory is pretty bad on exact reason, but thinking it was due to snagging.

I couldn't agree more. The saws I build are for real use. I wouldn't cut a port to 70% or even more and think that saw would hold up to a hard weeks work. Or build a saw with over 200psi and think that saw is a real work saw.

I'll start on two 7900's tomorrow.....real work saws though. I asked the owners what their plans were for these saws and if they had any interest in going with a different piston or anything. Firewood and GTGs is the plan for them both so durability is what I'm shooting for.

Now I will be building a 7901 for myself that might be a bit different. :)

Either way that 7900 I'm sure the piston broke as I have seen rods that look like that before  ;D just not on a 7900 , If a guy is really going to use a saw to block firewood with it has to be built to handle all the heat a motor is going to make , Not sure if any one else does this but on a new saw I will cut cookies hard with it then place my hand above the bar cover side plate and feel how hot the heat is coming of the jug , the flywheel will blow the heat out on your hand , if the heat is real hot then she is to hot for a worksaw in most cases

I enjoyed it as well  :) another couple of hundred threads like it and I might be able to actually understand it all. But bit by bit it is making sense

A crapp load of saws have passed in front of me since this thread started.

Too wide on the uppers really......but a fun saw to run.
