I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

The greebling mentioned at 11:46 is actually a felling sight, so you can align your notch and back-cuts so that the tree falls in the direction you want.

[@jamesmccabe103]

@5:23 I work in plastic injection molding as a process tech. I have to mix up red color pellets into natural glass filled nylon all the time. Red can be hard to get right sometime and it is true molders will cheap out on the color, and try to use less resulting in lighter parts, and in worse case scenarios the color will be uneven. My guess is that between 2011 and now they changed suppliers on their color concentrate and the new one is not an perfect match to the old one. just my $.02.

[@dhawthorne1634]

I was thinking the same thing. I have experience in all types of food production and when working with things like candies, frostings, fondant, cakes and cookies, it is very hard to get a good red. A few ppm too little and you have pink or orange, a few ppm too much and you start to go black or brown. It's also the same with florescence. Reds take a lot more dye and a lot more energy input to give the same vibrancy.

[@theirishscion]

I don't know, but my Makita gear is getting to be the same way. Growing variability in the new tools when it comes to exactly what color the corporate Theft-Deterrence Teal actually comes out. Some of that is down to base plastic, for sure, but I think more if it is coming down to contract manufacturing overseas. The little accessories (flashlights, usb chargers, etc) are the worst, understandably, but the tools are getting iffy too.

[@MrJakelstr]

What it ultimately comes down to is value engineering. Procurement changes suppliers to a place that is 1% cheaper and 100% worse. I see it and fight it everyday at work (I'm a development engineer), but they always win

[@nathandexter7483]

Also possible its a marketeer special and they decided a minor color to the brand identity change could result in more sales somehow

[@jeepmanxj]

This. Unless its a premix and its color matched to a sample its a fucking raging nightmare to get it exactly right at the time of production.

[@DenKonZenith]

If you spot a full sheet of those "security" strips, swipe 'em. In bulk won't set off the detectors and you can prank people for MONTHS with a full swiped sheet.

Said they were in home depot together, back when they used to have the tool coral and he managed to swipe a sheet of them and said he must slipped a dozen of them in his boss's cuffs and hood and pockets and whatnot and then showed himself out to the truck. Said his boss was as red as beet when he finally made it through security a half hour later!

The line across the body is used as a sight as it is 90degres to the chain, and the little metal tab is the chain arrest if it throws the chain.

[@acousticpsychosis]

When he called it 'greebling', I couldnt help but wonder if he's been watching more Adam Savage kit bashing lol

[@sireuchre]

Beat me to it, but that is exactly what it is. On a Stihl, they usually paint them black to make them stand out more.

[@madhatte73]

Came here to post these details, yes, the gunning lines are universal and possibly OSHA required on all modern chainsaws. Chain catcher serves two purposes: first, obvs, is to keep a stray chain from severing yer olde carotid should the sprocket decide to fuck off. Second, less obviously, is to keep same chain from damaging all of the stuff inside of the clutch cover, including the case itself. The way it works is that when the rotating body that is the chain comes loose, it folds over the sacrificial aluminum tab that is the chain catcher and gives up most of its inertia. This chews hell out of that tiny little bit of beer can but does little or no damage to chain, saw, or user. Replace the thing when you think to. It'll catch a few chains before giving up the ghost. Don't tempt the fates over a 2 dollar part.

[@madhatte73]

hyperbole doesn't always translate well in blind text, just sayin

[@Endorfen2011]

The split line on the case @ 11:57 is a sighting line the felling direction. Have the saw on it's side for cutting the hinge and you get the direction of fall. Not for aesthetics. Keep all the AWESOME videos coming! Thank you!

[@JK-co6wk]

That broken wire you were talking about was never attached. I looked back and zoomed in when you first took it apart and that wire was sticking straight out. Before you ever removed the motor. or even touched the motor.

[@hughhemington9559]

So did I. Broken wires don't turn back like that, and there would be bare conductors sticking out on one end or the other.

[@doctorlovera]

23:26 Bottom-left corner. It seems there is another cut cable that was bent toward the other side of the conection. They dont need them, they dont connect them?

[@Madmax_402]

I noticed there was a second wire cut as well. I’m guessing they used ribbon cable they had rather than something specific made for the job.

[@ketanovas]

Also, it's not the first-last wire in the ribbon. Ya can't break mid-wires prematurely.

Hey AvE, just had a coffee maker go out. Checked the thermal fuses and sure enough that was the problem. Glad I've watched your stuff otherwise that would've been $150 down the tube instead of $3 for the fuse. Cheers my man!

[@michaelg4931]

$150 for a coffee maker? I've been using the same $20 retail Proctor Silex drip coffee maker since 2006. I got it out of the dumpster on a $60,000 USD bathroom remodel job. It was still in the box, looked brand new and worked. The carafe tends to dribble which is why I think the home owner threw it out. 12 years from a free cheapo coffee maker, when is life better, eh?

[@TheTimmy4745]

if the thermal fuse went it went for a reason

[@Kaptain13Gonzo]

Similar here. Had a ShopVac quit working. Took the whole thing apart to see what was up. Buried on the back side of the motor was a thermal fuse. Darn annoying. Could have been on the front where it was easy to get to. Anyway, got it fixed up with a bit of old plumbing solder and it's back working. Good thing I saw the old vid so I had a thought that might be cause. Score one more for AvE!

[@boogsc9715]

That 'greebling' at 11:49 may be felling sights? when you've got your bar sat back in your scarf/ face cut for felling, that line is a general guide for where your stick will hit the ground.

[@ReinhardLins]

Exactly. Most chainsaw do have this line.

[@dewboy13]

Came here to say the same thing.

[@NoFretBrettCSSMBFF]

I almost understand what you are trying to convey... *almost*...

[@dewboy13]

It's a sight gauge basically. Gives you a general idea of the angle your cut is at. Then you can aim (in a perfect world) where the tree will fall.

[@Colaaah]

@@dewboy13 Yeah, without taking into it a bunch of other factors for which why the stick will fall I guess hey?!?! Eg: Like the trees initial lean, which side of the tree weighs the most, bends, etc...

I work in the injection molding industry, the odd colour could be from the lack of mixing the compound and concentrate together good and proper.

[@lukenfoci]

This mixing compound is called masterbatch and it's usually 1-2% concentration. I used to work for a company making them, worse colours were black (made out of soot) and red. When we were producing red everything was covered in red - probably even worse than black :)

[@robertm4050]

But wouldn't a large company like Milwaukee, which relies on it's image and brand recognition have a lot of oversight on stuff like this? I can't see someone this big not rejecting materials which will impact brand recognition and image(which is a big reason why people buy and overpay for Milwaukee). Also, whoever produced it would have to eat the costs in order to keep Milwaukee as a long term account. I wonder if they just make one run of an item like this or do they manufacture more of the same design when low in stock or just do a slight redesign to get people to buy the new one.

[@poet99999]

it seems to be a large lot issue... I got two new brushless drills and they are lighter red also

[@evo-labs]

...or the marketing pencil necks decided a lighter red would help sales. Perhaps the darker red reminds people of blood...not good for a chainsaw 😁

[@rat4spd]

I have a portaband from a few years ago. Same color.

[@Tooornado]

That pew pew "greebling" you mention @11:45 is meant to be felling sights, perpendicular to the bar. So you can see which way the tree should fall when you cut out the wedge. Every decent saw has those lines. Not that anyone would use this thing for doing any real work :)

[@MNhockeydude35]

Hey Ave, idea for your next BOLTR, you thought hilti was an expensive drill? Check out Stryker drills. I work in orthopedic surgery and we use these things all day long screwing wrists and ankles back together when the CA glue and ductape doesn't work. Would be interesting to see the inwards on the outwards.

[@williamward2948]

I spent 10 years as an arborist. The price of chains and bars is the real profit eater. In which case, feed that bad boy some Earl, and I mean lots of Earl... Used to fine tune the oil to run out at the exact same time as the fuel (makes sense to fill up both tanks at the same time)... But you wanna talk about a hot supper, we used to mulch the trailers down with 32" bars on Stihl MS-460s... Wide open throttle chopping through 8' wide, 3' deep sections of packed 3-5" sticks and leaves for an hour at a time, with no end in sight. Used to run 40:1 oil in those saws and tune the high rpm for it so we didn't smoke the pistons running lean...

[@dutchgray86]

First thing I do as well, turn the oil screw up, oil is cheap. Set too low at the factory, ostensibly for "environmental" reasons.

[@20pennyspike88]

This reads like a Jerry Reed song.

[@Fetecheney]

Yeah, as someone who lacks personal preservation enough to climb up into trees to cut them down from top to ground, this chainsaw is attractive to me so that I can use it for the high stuff that's hard to reach. I'd be fine switching to a gas powered for the big limbs and trunk once I've worked down below the canopy

[@doyouflytoo]

The bar oil pump is a very simple design. The end of the gear shaft by the hoses is at an angle. As it rotates against a high spot of the housing it will move in and out as the high spot traces a line around the angle at the end of the shaft with the help of a spring to hold it in contact. As this shaft rotates and moves in and out it pumps the oil through like a piston. That is why the gear on the shaft is so long. A worm gear is used to get a large reduction in RPM of the pump shaft.

[@andrewflowers3910]

This guy Is fuckin hilarious and smart as hell favorite part of the video “Take your tool off the pegboard and the hook comes with it” so true 😂😂😂 great tool review

[@garyr4818]

That line up the middle of the saw isn't as pointless as you think. It's for us dull woodcutters to aim the tree we're cutting at our friends. When the saw is in the deepest point in the gob, if the gob is flat, the tree should go where the line points.

[@jamesholden3049]

As always, thank you for a fine video! I'm not sure if someone already answered this, but the pump looks almost identical to what you'll find in most Stihl gasoline saws. It is a tiny piston pump that operates on a cam. Also, most good gasoline chainsaws run at least 12,000 rpm, so your 7,000 rpm estimate is probably both accurate and much more modest than it sounds.

[@collindaly6719]

Look now, I ain't much of one to argue with the uncle, but it looks to me like the wires mightn't be as bumbled as you think. I've seen many places where one of those ribbon cables was used (because that's what they had in the factory, or something); five wires on hand, only three needed. So unless you're sure it's needed, the wires look more like they might be extra and were cut before they were soldered to the board and then potted in epoxy. I'd be more likely to try it before going rocket surgeon on the brain box so you don't get a zombie from a previously working tool. But then again, rocket surgery is fun, just point it towards the neighbor's moon.

[@--_DJ_--]

Collin The EE I had the same thought. I only noticed the one broken white wire but it looks like a pretty clean cut. If the 5 wire ribbon was cheaper vs the 4 for some odd reason you know they would buy the cheapest Chinesium available that would do the job. On a side note I hope he has a look into the 12.0 High Output vs the 9.0

[@loz11968]

Collin The EE one way to tell is follow the wire to the other end and see if it’s connected to anything before digging in the potting compound

[@john-paulsilke893]

Collin The EE I was thinking the same thing but I’m watching on a large format phone so I can’t really see for sure.

To be honest, I was in a similar situation. My main clue was the clean cut.

[@collindaly6719]

I'd definitely follow it... But I cut my comment short somewhere between "paperback" and "manuscript".

[@arcadeuk]

You can hardly be blamed for breaking that wire. That soldered in ribbon is a big no no, it will just never last, I learnt the hard way. the conductors are too thin to stand on their own, so they rely on the fact that they are bonded in a row of other connectors to survive.

[@glenholmgren1218]

The irony of using a chainsaw to unbox a chainsaw. Did I hear that right (more than once) $600?!?! You can buy a nice Husqvarna or Stihl for that much. Either of which would turn the Milwaukee into plastic chips. Why TF would someone spend $600 on that?

The sacred KZbin "unboxing" ritual baffles the Hell out of me. I am encouraged that at least one channel (i.e. this one) gets it right.

[@jamesg1367]

That goop on the MOSFET legs resembles the latex mask I have used many a time on conformal-coated boards. The idea is that you mask the stuff you don't want to be packed full of urethane for whatever reason. The mask dries to the consistency of a rubber band. When you want access to whatever you masked, either just after coating or at some later time, you grab the rubber with a needle-nose pliers, breaking right through the thin coating of fairly-brittle urethane, and pop it right outta there. The idea might just be to make the MOSFETS more easily replaceable. If the goop is silicone rather than latex, then it might just be that the greater heat tolerance of the silicone serves to protect the urethane from scorching, since those metal legs would tend to conduct a lot of heat. That would likely improve on the long-term integrity of the moisture barrier. Depends just how hot things are getting, which I do not know.

I cut firewood with a Makita with 16 inch bar. Cutting l6 in diameter logs it consumes about 500 watt hours for a good size pickup load. This is probably about equivalent of a tank of gas on a small saw. The Makita uses two (2) hand tool batteries. They are all the same size and weight and range from 54 Wh (3Ah) to 106 Wh (6Wh) batteries. Two Makita LXT's weigh 2.7 lbs whereas one Milwaukee weighs 3.7 lbs for the same 216 Wh. I normally take two sets of 6 Ah and one set of 5 Ah to cut wood. That's a total of 616 watt hours. I always have some battery left and when I recharge my energy meter read 0.5 to 0.6 kilowatts. I have a bunch of 4's and 3's Ah batteries that I could take along for more cutting, but I have never needed more than 600 Wh.

Makita [Japan] supplies the space magic tech. China supplies the Chinesium for assembly. Makita does put the rotor on the outside and the stator on the inside. They are the only one's with an invisible gear box. Sounds like something they got from area 51. It's kinda like Velco. Had to be aliens. I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens.

[@whydoineedmynamehi6772]

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if gas chain saw engines have energy efficiency of 10percent or less. Cars nowadays have like 25-32 percent effeciency, and lawn equipment and chainsaw engines aren't geared to that kind of effeciency. The engines are small and have to put out more power so you lose effeciency.

[@jdrok5026]

@@whydoineedmynamehi6772 more power doesn't mean you have to sacrifice efficiency. The problem is they have to run with air cooling which drastically effects the temp of the cooling reservoir vs the power reservoir or heat reservoir. Meaning you thermal efficiency on a given day will be effected by the outside temp. Something like a gas cooled or liquid cooled engine would help increase efficiency and power but drastically increase weight complexity and cost.

I use pegboard to hang tools, but I hang them up on the right size bolts for the pegboard holes. Different lengths of bolts to match the tool hanging on it. I know it's dorky, but my tool wall above my main work bench looks better than the dewalt display case at the big box tool store.

[@chrishuber4853]

I've learned so incredibly much from you, I'm really hoping I'm able to teach you something. The metal "spikes" used for getting a grip on whatever you're cutting with the saw are called "dogs". Also, thanks for all the videos. They are a perfect balance of info and entertainment. I love your channel.

@@Eluderatnight, Jimmy's Tractor, has a video of his son's powerwheels jeep hopped up on some more voltage. I don't remember exactly how much he was putting to it. He'll probably respond and let us know.

[@misperry]

Technically a watt is a watt. So if the voltage goes up and the current goes down, which makes sense because they are inversely proportional, the wattage should, key word, stay the same. Just like if I have 12V and 10A I have 120W but if I increase the voltage to 60V and the current is 2A I still have 120W. What is doing all the work is the Power.

[@suckmybat]

I think his point was when you increase the current you have to decrease the wire impedance by using thicker wire. Thicker wire means a bigger motor to accommodate the bigger windings.

[@spastictuesdays340]

I really only come here for the unboxing vids. We need a montage.

[@timdaniels4580]

[@alexw8088]

Your chain speed calculation is not too far off for a chainsaw, in fact many pro saws run quite a bit faster than you calculated. For example a Stihl MS261 has a maximum chain speed of 5300 feet per minute and a chain speed of 3600 feet per minute at 9500 rpm where it produces max power. You were also correct about the chain oil pump they use a half moon lobed cam to pump the chain oil. I also think a review of a professional chainsaw that is powered by dinosaur squeezings instead of angry pixies is in order.

[@BigJohn4516]

The coating on the mosfets has two functions. First, the leads get micro cracks when they are bent and tend to corrode or break due to thermal cycling. Second, it doesn’t take much of a crap path for the gate to be shorted to either the source or drain. A couple of stray pixes, and that valve will be stuck open.

[@TixocLoza]

I recently purchased the DeWalt saw. Since his initial review on it they have gotten rid of the ratcheting bar attachment system. They integrated a metal nut into the plastic securing plate for the bar, and you can further torque it with an Allen wrench. I have logged a few hours of cutting on the saw with no issues of any kind. Cutting done on logs approx. 12-14” in diameter down to sectioning the small branches. If I have any issues in the future I’ll be sure to update the comment.

[@woodychopp]

at 5:47 it's indeed a chain guard but it's to stop the chain destroying the machine if and when it derails. Tis because the chain elongates when you run it hot. Have had it derail a couple of times when i was doing some bush work and a twig snapped between the chain and the sword.

[@Gunnertdnew]

Definitely noticed the new camera... definitely an improvement

[@Turbo.M777]

I bought the DeWalt Flexvolt saw, and it appears they’ve fixed the bar attachment fuckery. It no longer has that silly torque limiter. It’s actually been a super kickass chainsaw and no problems with the bar whatsoever since they updated it. Only complaint about it i have is the oil cap leaks.

[@geraldmoore6257]

Dip into your retirement and BOLTR a Makita XCU03 or XCU04. It's completely different inside. Direct drive, variable oil pump, leverage on bar afixation. It seems pretty skookum. It's brushless motor is designed with the rotor on the outside and the stator on the inside. The permanent magnets are mounted on the rotor like a bell or cup and the rotor rotates around the internal windings. This makes the rotor necessity larger and further from the center shaft producing much higher inertia resulting in smooth, stable operation, even at low speeds. It is also more efficient and shorter than inner rotor motors. This type motor produced higher torque since it increases the “lever arm” effect and other magnetic advantages I don't understand. The large rotor also means it can accommodate more winding poles, which further increases magnetic flux. Outer rotor motors are shorter than similar inner rotor motors since the same magnetic surface area forces inner rotors to be longer since they’re on a smaller diameter. Makita’s motor doesn’t protrude outwards like the Milwaukee. This compact size and high torque makes outer rotors great for applications with varying loads like a chainsaw sees. It's high inertia helps to “push through” load fluctuations and produces high starting torque. Because they use outer rotor design Makita’s saw can be direct drive. No gears also increases efficiency while simplifying things.

[@NickDittes]

I just became a patron because I like your videos! I'd like to see you review a Stihl cordless chainsaw. I bought a Stihl MSA 160 C-BQ. It's not without faults, but the case seems to be PC and it has helped me harvest a goot 15 m^3 of firewood. I've been very impressed considering it's not an infernal combustion engine and I'm curious how it compares to the Milwaukee. It definitely looks more solid!

[@lomparti]

Its not just for peg boards. You can hang the saw on a nail at the jobsite etc or in your trailer..

[@BlueScream0]

the line at 11:49 isnt for visual breakup, normally (at least on the husqvarna chainsaws)it is perpendicular to the blade -> for aiming when felling a tree

[@Sallafar]

(11:48) That brak-up part actually has a very useful reason: its for aming your timber so you can adjust your cut when you already started cutting (you obviously stop your saw first to do so)

[@jamespenner1412]

I pree ordered this saw couple months ago and love it. It came with a bonus 9ah battery I'm clearing a chunk of Bush on my farm and this saw is what I'm using so far so good I love it. The 12 amp battery lasts decent. The 9amp battery eventually overheats once it's almost dead and then I use my 5amp batterys as spares in between changing. They cut fine but go dead quick. I would think you would need at least 4 or 5 12amp batteries to keep it going non stop all day long while charging your dead ones on the go. I hate my gas saws with a passion they sit for months or years at a time and then when I wanna use it it starts shitty. I would say it has just as much power as a 40-45 cc saw. Most ppl don't use a saw that often and this would be perfect for those ppl. Plus those batterys that you have can also be used in all sorts of other Milwaukee tools in the mean time so the value is very good.to me it does not feel cheap at all in my opinion I'd recommend it to most ppl that have Milwaukee line up of Tools and use a saw occasionally.

[@dustysparks]

Wow $600CAD and immediately you have to re-solder or replace a control board... they really DON'T want us pokin' around in there. Interesting that it's a urethane fill on that board and not a thermal epoxy. The solastic on the FET's is probably just there so the conformal coating doesn't have to do all the work getting in behind the FET and the pins at that end vs. the tab end. Last place you would want Tin-Rot with the Pb-Free solder.
