Using a Vallorbe .325 file

They just hit different.

Two piston rings are a neat fail safe.

Picture is saw as of right now. She rips.

Anyone ever used one of these?

They let cheaters waste your time. They don't care about the most valuable thing you have on this earth: your time.

Even if you're a cheater, please, recognize the madness of this game. Recognize that Valve has gaslit the playerbase everytime it releases an update with zero adjacent anticheat to go along with.

We have come to expect cheating as normal behavior because Valve tolerates it. They don't enforce their own Terms of Service.

They are an evil megacorp. GabeN needs to face the music.

The revolution will not be televised.

Make sure to buy armor.

Pic unrelated.

This YTer got a 564XP and has proceeded to run it completely ragged with dull chain in one of his videos detailing his "issues" with his saw.

The thing is, the saw is still cutting, if cutting means building heat and revving unloaded to the moon while it "cuts".

tl;dr: An operator is operating in error

If you cheat and pay for skins, you're a degenerate. You've sold out and for what? To play make-believe with your other 'not-a-cheater' friends?

Do any of you know how to make an actual human relationship without the entire premise being based on a lie?

Both saws were purchased as non-runners.

Both saws have been rebuilt. The Stihl 261 has a all new OEM top end as well as new crank bearings (from a German aftermarket saw supplier). All OEM gaskets. It is the "adjustale" carb version. I quote adjustable because it has carb internal limiters on the jets. It really doesn't make all that much difference opening or closing them. That said, the saw performs.

The Husqvarna, I rebuilt with a cheap $12 aftermarket piston and a caber ring. I used muriatic acid, emory cloth, dremel combo to make interior Nickasil lining smooth and lustered again. It needed nothing besides new seals on the bottom end.

If I had to pick one, it'd be the more reliable Stihl. However, the Husqvarna 545 with it's smaller piston diamter and larger stroke is better performer. The second you lay into the trigger you get a short delay and then a surge of chain speed and power.

The stihl is more mannered. It revs instantly but takes its time building revs when compared to the Husqy. I also feel, its harder to stall, which makes sense given the rotating assembly differences.

In a deep cuts, performance is similar. I never felt outmatched buried in red cedar with a 20" bar.

I have stressed both saws running back to back tanks in 90+ defree weather. The Husqy failed me once, blowing out a crank seal at the end of a large 20"+ stump cut. An "easy" fix, but it still took the saw out for the day.

For the record, I have run the Mark 1 550XP. It is even faster with acceleration but it relies on cutting crankcase air volume to build air velocity faster. However, this contributes to a saw that runs extremely hot. They are a performance saw and homeowners who just want to laser through firewood are its intended market afaict. I recommend the 545 as its 95% of the performance with more reliability.

As for chains, Husqy SP33G is *the* .325 for a 50cc saw. Even when not 100% , it tears large ribbons of wood fibre per cutter. Of course, all out performance is held by squared chisel chain, but if you even knick dirt, the chain efficiency drops immensely. The 33G being a semi-chisel is more forgiving, especially during a long work day. I respect those who swear by square chisel.

If wifi is causing this, I can't even.

Just remember, whenever someone says "nobody is cheating" the gaslight has begun.
