V-MODEST CS-2511 vs KNK 2511

[@lousep1964]

Hi Scotty, Do you know the model# for the KNK 12" carver? I found this KMO403254A but it shows 10"/8" in specs. The one in your video looks like 12" but tag on it says 2016. Is there a new or newer 12" model yet? Thanks!

[@HockfireSaws]

They have 4 different variants of the 2511. Some with 3/58LP and some with 1/4'. there is an option for a 10" hard nose bare in the book but I know 12" are available too. I have one of the 12". The bar says .043 but the groove is actually almost .060 and a .050 chain fits just fine. I only have one and I think a fellow is taking it today. Here are the saw model numbers: KM0403254 KM0403254A KM0403255 KM0403255A

Do they both have the open port cylinder? I know the echo is closed port and the v modest is open port but how about the knk?

[@HockfireSaws]

99% sure they are open but I will ask the guy that ported mine.

@@HockfireSaws I'm gonna try porting my v modest maybe today. I'll see how easily it comes apart and I'll know more about it. I seen a video from Charles brisco and he seems to have found an amazing amount of power in his by doing his build

@@matthewknight5641 Lots of red loctite on things. You may need a little heat here and there.

Are the clutch covers compatible to do a 1/4 pitch conversion kit?

[@HockfireSaws]

Yes. I did a video on that last night too. Check my channel.
