NO I did not check the governed speed of the 090. Actually I drilled 4-1/4" holes in the governor's sail switch to reduce it's effeteness. I figured when...

Hi Group, I'm kinda green here like all the logs I just knocked down.I only own a stihl 015 and it's a great little saw but you can't get parts for it anymore...
Barney, I think you are on the right track getting the bigger saw. I made my own mill out of 3/4 birch plywood and 1/2 inch threaded rod, bolts and washers. ...
Terry, Do you have any way of posting pictures of your mill? I am very interested. Although I have an 48" Alaskan, I would like to build a smaller Mill frame....

My Stihl 017 was running but would not shut off. I finally took the cover off and put my hand over the intake to starve it of air. When I looked things over, I...
The closest thing I've milled with the 088 is a 36" Black Walnut. And I was milling 11/2" a second. I know that the Oak is a LOT harder than the Walnut So I...

Wow, Jack are you really milling with an 017? Now that is ambitious. The switch on a chainsaw shuts off the motor by sending the current from the...
I'm aware of Mr. Rupley from the chainsaw forum at AboristSite, you're lucky to live so close to such a good saw builder. That's the most work I've heard done...

Hello Robert Do I expect the mods to affect the longevity of the saw? Yes but not by much. The porting was done in moderation. Michael said a lot more power...

The 50 gauge bars are a custom item. I had to pay for 20 to be built before I could get one, so I took all 20. The difference in the width of the chain is...

I got it, it's a chain speed issue. Don't have to worry about that with the 090! Theoretically, the chain should clear the same amount of chips regardless of...
I think it is at this point, that most people start thinking, Hmmmm! If we could just use a band saw blade.... It is called a Ripsaw! It goes for about $1500. ...
What I believe is happening is that the chain can only remove so much at a time because it fills up with chips and saw dust. This actually fills in all the...
