The full comp is beating the skip chain every time by about 3 seconds. With the 8 pin rim on, I'm using a light touch and pretty much just letting the saw drop through the log via gravity. This is in about 20" of Red Oak. Gonna sink this saw into 30"+ Maple on Monday....

The test went as I expected but honestly I was expecting a bigger difference. You can feel the difference in the cut for sure tho. Now I'm intrigued to see what happens in bigger wood.

Absolutely - keep us posted and real nice video! Cheers!

Hey BTW guys and gals, that's the MS460 with an aftermarket 52mm big bore kit in the vid. I decided to switch it up a bit since there is little video of that saw. As you can see, that kit runs pretty good out of the box.

I can't remember the brand?

I can't remember the brand?

It is a Hyway kit. Seals, bearings, the DP muffler and of course the top end.

Ok, so I got was using a rather light touch with the 8 pin rim setup and decided to give it a go with the 7 pin.
