How to make Custom Chains

[Roger Day]

Stihl Chain Parts, i.e. loose cutters, drive links and presets.

 

Does anyone know how to find the information ?

The Stihl online reference does not list chain parts, so I presume it's reserved for dealers, but the ones I have asked will not help, "Ohh I dont think they do that".

 

I am making some custom chain for a sculpting tool and had to very carfully dis-assemble a length of chain for the parts......It took far too long to do it carfully enough, grinding tiny rivet heads etc.

 

Please any help appreciated

Drive links and tie straps are no problem but I've never bought loose cutters. Didn't think they sold them seperately.

Yes thank you, absolutely....

I found all the loose parts for everything for Carlton

so best if anyone is interested to go there

Thanks again, I just wont give up as I know from experience that a dealer saying "Oh I dont think so" is not the end of it...Somewhere there is a part number for everything and if you can tell the dealer to order that number it will arrive...eventually...even if it has to go round the world a few times first
