Oh, for sure. I’m just waiting to wear out my stone for the 3/8p to switch that one to CBN

It’s been doing good so far. I do need to hook up a shop vac to help control the particulate a bit. I’ve been a bit lazy on that

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 I did that for my for my bench grinder, it does cut down on the mess.

Absolutely 👍

I have yet to get an answer to those questions. I do know that they still do not offer the MS 400 with the wrap handle from the factory. All the ones out there are conversions. You don’t necessarily have to use the bigger cover and the molded section that goes with it. I have considered converting it back to the small cover because I really do like the captured nuts myself.

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 I was thinking the same, no reason I can think of not to use the smaller cover. I ordered a few virgin captured nuts and am probably going to machine the stud holes to the dimensions Stihl uses with the captive nuts and convert the cover that comes with the parts kit.

lol, while I do my best to have “good faith” in people I have learned from my experience in law enforcement to never put anything past anyone.

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 Oh yeah, you basically get to see nearly every stupid or bent act and attitude that people can come up with. The only interestign thing is the difference between those who were stupid or bent by nature and those who improvise stupid or bad things on the spot.

Yeah, a lot of Holzfforma is like that with the orange. I believe the blue is a closer match. I guess that’s where they save money and do t worry about the paint and plastic matching

Well I’m glad to hear you support the blue. To be honest I didn’t even notice I still had that on. That usually comes off when I take my gun off. That was my primary profession at the time. Sorry to hear it was a turn off for you.

Thanks for the view and comment. It works great, I have another video up where I’m digging out some old rotted fence posts to set new ones. I would recommend picking up and keeping a few of the auger bit pins on hand. The one that comes with it is a bit soft. However if I’m going to break something, better the pin than the auger or motor head

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 Excellent advice! I have to plant 200 apple trees and this will make life a bit easier I hope. ATB.

@mikenimmick3920 oh yeah, definitely a worth while investment then

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 What size is that sheer pin if I may ask? I'll PU some today.

@mikenimmick3920 they appear to be 5/16 x 2 5/8

Happy Easter to you and your family. Sorry for the late response, I haven’t been getting notifications from some reason

So far it has been good. Only required a small carb adjustment after I shot the bucket video

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 thats awesome, I figured for the price even if I get a year out of it it's worth it

For sure, makes things tough sometimes

Yeah, I know. My grill was the closest thing I had. All my torches were out of gas and I don’t have the adapter for a big propane tank

Thank you, I’m a fan of the bigger cover myself unfortunately I do loose the captured nuts though. Only downside I’ve seen so far

Thank you again. That is actually in a separate video not yet posted.

Thank you for the view and advice. I shot this short on my phone and unfortunately I have always had focus issues with it. Probably operator error 😅

Thank you my friend, your support is much appreciated

Thank you sir. You get a lot of tree service wood so a lot of what I deal with is like that. That was one of the major reasons why I went with the Wolfe Ridge 35 High Output

😂, yeah that would have been a whole lot easier. I have a Ram Power Wagon with a wench and that would have done it. I needed the exercise though.

Thanks buddy, happy new year

Haven’t spent the money on one of those yet. I have 4 other heavy mauls already

Thank you sir

Thanks buddy

Thanks buddy. It was just some dry maple with some light swings and it went through it like butter. I really want to put an edge on it and try felling with it given that’s its shorter than I like for splitting. Thanks for the view.

Was that the one that came sharp with a nice profile?

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 yes sir got a little work in with it yesterday before the rain

That’s awesome, thanks for the view buddy

You are right. I was trying to get more uniform splits and should have checked my clearance on the other side instead. Fortunately it was only a little bent metal.

Well, ya get no argument out of me on the oxymoron part. I would say I’ve just had better luck than others. This is however the only clone that I haven’t had Aaron Lynch or JonBobMilwright build. Would I recommend it for professional use? Unlikely. Homeowner is a good fit. Rancher/Homesteader for limited projects probably also a decent fit. If I upgrade it at all it’s more likely to be some better auger bits.

Any time. Knowledge is useless if f not shared.

Absolutely my friend. The contour is standard round. It’s the same for Oregon and Stihl. The only difference is actually the angles that you set the grinder at for Stihl or Oregon and I actually just sharpen Oregon chain using Stihl angles. Found no appreciable difference. If I have time today I will try and put up a short about the carbide wheel. If I don’t get it up today it will be up tomorrow for sure. Have a great day and thank you for the view and question.

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 That’s mighty kind of you. I’ve heard the stock ceramic disks aren’t the best. Thanks for your next video in advance :-)

@robertmatt7756 the video is up as a short. Hope that was what you were looking for

I went to my local dealer. For me it was ACE Hardware.

If memory serves, had believed I got the part number from Walkers Saw shop. You can always contact them to order one

how much was it?@@grizzlywoodservices4825

No doubt it needs a proper spark plug. I’ve heard some of the different kits on the market don’t have genuine spark plugs

Yes sir, that’s where I learned to cut trees. 50cc’s and a 16 inch bar gets it done all long. It’s just easier to get it don’t with a bigger saw and bar

Can’t agree with that logic. I love my clones that Aaron Lynch and @Jonbobmilwright have built for me. It put them up against my factory originals any day

You are welcome my friend. Thank you for watching.

I can’t say that I have ever tried noodling with milling chain. The typical angle you mill with the wood ends up being finer particles or very small chips in comparison to what crosscut chain gives you. That being said, I suspect you would have less debris(noodles) jamming into the saw because it would be smaller particulate. If your goal is to cut slabs or boards, milling chain is preferred as that is it’s intended use. You in theory end up with a smoother finish compared to doing the same with crosscut.

She keeps asking me for more

Thanks for letting me know buddy, I didn’t even realize.

Did you try it one handed?

That is a 32” bar with Holzfforma full house semi chisel chain. It runs it great however I am about to change it to a 28” Stihl bar with the same type of chain

@@grizzlywoodservices4825 thanks, I've got a372xp pro in route and trying to decide between 28" or 32" bar cutting mostly pine

I’m 5’9” and 220lbs, I like the 32” bar for the simple fact that if I get some kickback it keeps it further from me. In terms of functionality it is a bit unwieldy due to my height. I’m switching to the 28” because it’s a bit more nimble for me to Buck or work in a pile.

?

Well, he’s not winning any obedience contests. He is however extremely friendly and generally well behaved.

@grizzlywoodservices4825 😄

It certainly is, Gemma loves it and even Julia didn’t mind the smoke this time. Although the wasn’t happy with the smell of smoke the day I did it.

Makes a hell of a fireball

Thank you sir, the smell in my house overnight was glorious.

It might look burnt but it certainly wasn’t. That was just some of the smoke in the rub. Thanks for the view and comment. 👍👍

That looks like a perfect brisket

@abbierose32forever20 perhaps, but it’s a pork net roast instead turned into pulled pork

Thanks buddy
