I hate to be that guy but the Thunder Kitten looked like the wood had two large knots in the wood. Yes I know you mention in the video you do your best and the wood is different and nothing can be done about it. I am sure you ran it a few times and this was the best time for the saw just I have seen Charles’ work and his 4910 saws are crazy. Still can’t believe it lost to the Poulan or the 590 though I have a 620PW Echo the tuned 590 pro version and that thing is a beast. Thanks for the videos they are entertaining as hell.
That Thunder Kitten is still a bad ass saw! Love it! Also, I was fortunate enough to get my Uncles 394xp over the weekend. I want to get a 7310 and port the shit out of it and put it up against the 394xp just to see if it will get on the ball park. I also bought a 4910 just because of the footage I saw of your Thunder Kitten a few months back. Thanks for all your hard work!
