Guess Greg needs to break down and build a paint drying kiln. Just another project, he can handle it.

Well the paint dried, still hot here. Got about a cord cut Monday, video to follow. Then I broke it. The good news is the parts store is close by. The arm that connects the hydraulic cylinder to the saw failed. Think it was hitting the frame when the saw came up, I thought it was bottoming the cylinder. Opps.
Revision A is heavier. The original was 1/2 plate, the new ring is 3/4 with 1/2 inch more wall. Welded the old arm to it.
Made the ring out of my stock of mystery metal. Might be wear plate, work hardened when I tried to drill it. Used carbide drills to 11/32 then had to use a HSS to final size. Must have ground it 50 times on the 8 holes to keep the corners of the cutting edge.
Rain tomorrow, Friday is sawing day.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
