todays little project

[wisewood]

Hi, in pic 2 I notice you've clamped the bar on the replaceable nose. I've a 3 ft bar with the same tip and was wondering if it was ok to do this or would it risk damaging the sprocket?

Cheers,

Very nice matching those cuts on the bench!

wisewood it not on the sprocket i worked the dia out and clamped so the clamp just misses the sprocket

i would not clamp on the sprocket u may put stress on the noise

Fair do's mate, I guessed you must have found a way round it. I didn't mean to suggest you didn't know what you're doing,you clearly do. I was just curious as to what you'd done in case I needed to do the same.

Cheers,

si put a tape on top to bottem of the sproket end of the bar then go for the tip of the bar back woulds

clamp as close to the noise sproket as u can but not so close u put presure on the teath of the sproket

Lol, what Spud says:laugh1:

I still don't own a mill mate but it's on my to get list. I've a 36" stihl bar (not sure which without checking). I'd assumed 'cos it had the replaceable nose I'd have to clamp below the joint thus losing about 6 " of length.

Si, if you've bought the saw specifically for milling, I'd ask Spud to free off the dogs while it's there. They're no use for milling and lose you another couple of inches of bar.
