What is the equivalent oregon bar mount for the Dolmar 6100 does anyone know?
-
It would be great to do that - I'll put it to the web man - trouble is again is down to cost. It's so much more complicated to do in practice... That means expensive... which means throw in value would be less...
-
Solid looking trailer - wish I could build things like that!
-
Cheers for the pics Dan. I think for the MS150 the chain needs to be a drive link longer in order to fit the bar. The MS192 I have has a 'proud' allen head - but the bar still slots in around it fine.

Hi there. OK - first thing is when looking at what fits what is to go to the oregon selector guide here OREGON®: Selector Guide - it does not list your saw there - but if it has the equivalent of the K095 or D009 mount - these are the x2 main mounts for Husky and so I have a good range of Sugi bar for these. I'm sure oregon have a pdf you can print and match your bar to the mounts on there... or ask the dealer what is the oregon equivalent mount for this saw. It's tricky finding bars that fit other saws - Stihl and Husky have 70% of the market... for Sugihara bars I have to order min x30 bars of each type... this cannot be spread. i.e I have to order 18" 3/8 .058 laminated bars with BC mount. So for the lesser known brands there will never be enough demand to get the specific bars in.

I'd like to say yes but paperwork is not a strong point
-
Cracking work Si - great detail
-
Absolutely - combo ing a chainsaw mill to carve a large butt up and then re sawing on a bandsaw is pretty much the ultimate set up really...
-
I used to have a 390XP - and you can run a 28" bar on it no prob. A few options Guide bars Got the new Sugi light type bars in 28" and still have not changed the price yet..... but doing that this morning!
-
I just leave it out - it's an old mill and can be temperamental - but now I've a bit more got the hang of using it I can see why people rate bandsaws so much... Cut wise it seems to cut flat as a pancake on pretty much all wood....
-
Update to this thread.... never seem to be able to get stuck into milling for a whole day but a couple of hours at a time only
-
That is one of the most original benches I have ever seen - really like how it only reveals itself fully from a side angle.... In fact it's so good have started you a thread purely on it! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/alaskan-mill/64647-one-coolest-benches-ive-yet-seen.html#post985629 I will be looking for a twisty tree like this to have a go myself! Did you use an Alaskan to mill it?
-
This was posted in another thread but is so good have given it it's own thread. Very original design and just a cracking use of bendy wood. Made by 'pup' (Alun Jones).
-
Some stones maybe for when you get one!
-
You may think differently after getting a third, fourth and fifth! But I'll be varying the free bies!
-
Ha ha! That's great line - may have to quote you on that!
-
Yep they are indeed!
-
Speaking to customer again it seems there is an allen screw that comes proud near where the heel of the bar sits... there is not enough room for the filled in part of the bar to sit behind this as it then hits the drive sprocket...

10% arbtalk discount is now officially ended. Have done a few threads and posts on this the reason is mainly: All the products we import are now being pushed out to retailers - I've had a few grumbles in the past from existing retailers about how arbtalkers get a discount etc. and that we are undercutting them. Not many grumbles but one or two. This wasn't a major issue before but will be in the future as the bars are rolled out to more re sellers. So from now on - put 'ARBTALK' as the voucher code and you will get a free gift - not a cheap and cheerful free gift but one you will like and think 'Wow!' It will be linked to order size simple as that - larger the order the higher the value of the throw in. Any questions on this PM me.

Put this up on another thread but actually think it warrants it's own thread really! I have a customer that has an MS150 and MS201 both back handled for carving. He is saying that the sugi carving bars don't fit because the heel of the bars do not have the slot cut out like the Stihl bars do. Can anyone furnish some pics as to show why this is? I want to get some dedicated Sugi bars for the MS150 (they will be 10", .043 guage) and need to get it right. But want to understand why they have to have this slot at the heel of the bar. Finally - how have those using the sprocket nose bar that comes with the saw found the sprocket nose has lasted? I would have thought carving with a sprocket nose bar would cause the sprocket to fail pretty quickly so would be interested to see how it has stood up....
-
Yep - the light type versions are the dedicated Husky mount and fit the 550 and 560...
-
Here's a deal for you - buy some of these new Sugi low vibe ones... use for a good while then post a review upon this thread with at least 5 pictures... I've used them and found them very good, loverly and warm, excellent anti vibe and.... they are machine washable! But I've not used them day in day out for chainsaw use... After you've updated this thread with pics and review I'll send you another pair free! Products for the category: Forestry equipment But - they only come in a medium size! So that could scupper the deal...

Well spotted Matty - yes I'll update the thread with some milling pics as am trading beech for the oak - some very nice browns in there... although it's an awkward one to mill...
