Husqvarna Top Handle for Carving

[agrimog]

You are all missing something here . You will go to prison unless you do ALL your carving off the ground .

 

ehhh why, what law has been broken, and as a side issue, where does it state you actually need any qualifications, paper or other, to carry out chainsaw carviing,its like chainsaw milling, nowhere in any H&S documentation is it covered

The law of common sense! Oh, sorry, scrap that. H&S took over!

I am of the same opinion as you . It was a failed attempt at mirth ......

I am looking to convert a Husqvarna Top Handle saw for carving, I have had a go at converting the T435 over to a 1/4" drive sprocket - with no success. So I have the following questions...

 

1. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert the new T540XP over to 1/4"?

Does not exist to my knowledge.

 

2. Does anyone know where I can get a 334t, 335, 335XPT or 336 (Oregon makes a 1/4" kit for these)?

Oregon says they do but don't they need a worm pinion or similar? I think you can get 1/4 but would be genuine Husky.

 

3. Does anyone know if you can convert the new T536Li/if it's any good?

We have 1/4 drive sprocket for this saw - but someone said because there is no back plate on the side cover they had some oil leakage... pretty much all carving bars are universal mount so you need a cover plate to cover the holes that are not used by that particular saw.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Nick.

As above!

As above!

 

 

 

Regarding the cover plate... is that why my Husky 236 carving set up leaks chain oil?

Top handle for ground work or carving? Just don't.

i used an makita dcs230t with a tiny .43 10" sugi bar for a good while. thought it would do my wrists in carving with topper, but its all so light and manouvarable its was great and very handy. wouldnt replace a 14'' .50 carving bar however.

 

obvs i was roped in whenever i did this.

 

now on with an echo 270wes, which is fine.

 

if it will be your only carving saw, get a back handle.

also have noticed these husky 425s for sale lately,

 

maybe for carving? maybe for tree work? says carving, anyone had a pop with one?

Top handle doesn't give you the control for carving, not a safe option unless you have the wrist strength of Kong and the skin of Godzilla. Rear handle give you the grip n control.

Yeah, honestly it was totally fine with wee detail carving saw, plus pretty impossible to get a carving bar to kickback.

 

Best not to carve onehanded, though if you could do 2 carvings at a time with two toppers you'd make a fortune at shows.
