Title: CG Location
Post by: longsmb on November 17, 2005, 02:32:08 AM

Is the CG located in the same spot in the label, or are some different?

Thanks

The pin prick in the label is the cg mark,  but every ball should be weighed up to make sure it is correct.

Older 'Saws are not marked, but you can (or your driller) find the CG easily (directions on the Lane #1 site).  I've found Buzzsaw CG's as much as an inch away from the label.  Of course, according to some "CG no madduh".

Not to dispute Mario's word, but I have a lot of older saws, & they all have the CG marked with a small indent or dimple. Usually close to buzzsaw logo or lane one diamond.

I should have said "not all..."  I have some marked and some not (for example, my original silver has not marking - at least not that I can find now.)  It's a good idea to check it anyway - I've found some off by close to an inch. (i've wondered about that - is it more the person doing the marking or scale inaccuracy or what?)

Hmm, made me dig through all my saws, & the only one I cannot find a marked cg on is my silver. Strange!
