Chainsaw Bar Refurbishment

[Bustergasket]

But, but....

So 20 thou, 0.5 mm - how much extra life is that going to get you?

Compare it with a new bar, how much metal have you got before you run out of clearance, got to be 2-3 mm minimum??

 

In economic terms you've got;

Cost for bar rework to get you 0.5 mm life verse Cost of new bar with 2mm life...so in component costs alone the rework has to cost 1/4 of a new bar.

Cant see that happening.

I have not measured a bar so it's all a bit finger in the air, should know better really, the machine can grind whatever it's just a case of working out what's acceptable

If chain is bottoming out, I run a 1.5 mm slitting disc down between guide rails before pinching them in

Then put spirit level across rails and square them up

I've been doing this for processor for a few years using old bars up

i thought a worn bar was mainly the groove becoming to wide for the drive links to fit snuggly?? how can you referb that?
