Then it has to be the rakers. When i went through it after purchase, the AV mounts were in good shape. I will give it an aggressive filing and leave the depth gauges alone and see if it is any more enjoyable to run.
Right now i am in a four saw plan with all four being too close together.
MS 440 - 70cc
034 (not done yet) - 61 cc
029 super - 56 cc
MS 250 - 49 cc
No really gaps. I plan to keep the 440 and 034. I hate to sell the 029super. it has been a great saw for me and it is a really clean saw, but once the 034 is done and i get a pro 50 cc, i know it will never get used. I think for me, a three saw plan will be good. 50, 60 & 70, until a steal of a 660 comes along or a 61 or 441CM or...
