Cutters Edge 2171 vs modified Jonsered 2172 

Good to know I'm making a difference in the world!

Thanks man!

@@novicelumberjack I just finished putting a 268xp piston in a 2071… it’s a game changer. I had the piston machined into a popup. Running it today at work and I’m very impressed so far.

Glad to finally hear from you! Hope you stick around and watch them all! Got a lot of videos out there.

Yeah, usually it is.

I'm sure someday I'll be able to run one on my setup to compare. But...here's the straight dealio- I've owned a very good running PM700. They are stellar vintage saws. Really good, ya know. But they cannot even. If you get my drift. Buckin' Billy Ray is great entertainment. But that's all it is man. Entertainment. The old macs are GREAT old saws. But they are still old saws. To match it up with a modern saw is kinda missing the point in my opinion. A PM700 has nice torque and in the cut it probably turns somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,500 rpm. The Cutters Edge is probably turning 10,000 rpm in the cut. It's just two very different saws.

Not sure why they use it. Would make sense that it is because of an assumption that it will be used in a low oxygen environment and more air flow is better. What I can tell you with 100% certainty is that...yes, yes, yes...I like how it looks! And maybe it adds a touch of performance.

@@novicelumberjack "Cutters Edge exclusive Air Filtration System has 211.4 square inches of surface area, enabling Cutters Edge Fire Rescue Saws to run up to 12 times longer than other saws in the hot, smoky fireground conditions. Filters out particles less than 1 micron in size" from the catalog, doesn't really answer it either way but it was fun to look!

Thanks man! I try.

Thanks man. New Wack-Off out today

That's a neat way of seeing it. Yeah, just can't quite deliver.

Yeah, with you there. Doesn't have the rpm either.

Cool. Glad you like him. I think I'll make him Soft Hand Steve's mechanic. Binford would do his own work.

I'd love to have you over, man.

I think theres no R in his name Boedy perhaps? Cant remember, hope he says it here :)

@@thomaslindroos1667 Oh yeah, spelled it wrong....lol

Spell check can be a bitch! Yeah, Thomas is right, it's Boedy

@@novicelumberjack Got it Sir!

I've got a couple bows, never took the time to set one up. I'll see what I can do.

In my old age, I've started using reading glasses. It's getting to me!

The difference in chips is 100% perspective. They are both running the same bar and chain. I wouldn't go through all this effort just to have the saws unevenly matched.
