Chainsaw Repair

For @fisaw  Did you see the carbed type II NE 261 pics in thread I told you about?


fisaw pics switched.  Seemed like they loaded quicker. Is that what you were fixing?

Took me more than a year to get one!  About 5 ounces lighter than the OEM 20" laminated bar.
Slightly longer mounting slot, and angled oil holes.  Has a dull, almost rough finish.

Oregon is on to something there with that Speed Cut bar and 95TXL chain. Looks like a big improvement over the old 95VPX. Almost looks like a high tooth. 325

Oregon also claims to have improved the fit of their bar nose sprocket too.

Did some garage research on the 20" SpeedCut bar today, comparing it to a same length Husqvarna, OEM, narrow kerf bar, and a slightly shorter one.

The weight difference is definitely there:
- (? unbranded) 16" nominal length: 21 ounces total weight
- Oregon SpeedCut 20" nominal length: 23.5 ounces
- Husqvarna branded, 20" nominal length; 28.6 ounces
The 20: SpeedCut bar weighs little more than the 16" conventional, laminated, NK bar.

But when I hung the saw to balance freely, the difference between the SpeedCut bar and the OEM bar was minimal (relative angles read off of gravity style protractor attached to the saw hand guard):
- Power Head Only (PHO) - 14°
- Power Head with 16" conventional, NK bar - 11°
- Power Head with 20" SpeedCut NK bar - 3°
- PowerHead with 20" OEM, NK bar - 0°
