Biggest issue with me and mine is time, not really expecting to have to build Hundreds, so I will have a couple of the handles, threaded rods in those four threads on hand as I do now and will make up the rest as there is interest....if there is a lot of interest....it will take time. Each one is an individual. Takes me a morning to build one from scratch & the handles are rugged but crude at best. But for coverage, mine with a M8x1mm and M10x1 is already done so ALL those flywheel sides are done. Have a couple of the threaded rods drilled and tapped for those sizes. And I have M12x1mm and M12x1.25mm reverse threaded ones already. SO with a tube or bushing....you can add up which models are handled.All the 365/372/385/390's and anything with the M8 flywheel nut.. Matt's has all those covered as well. Mine works on either 6202 or 6203, doesn't matter. The reason I showed bushings is the MS660's have the bearings and bushings installed as delivered. So do the Husqvarna replacement cases. So I use a "bushing" to pull the crank through the pre installed seals. Mine can use either a tube or a bushing, doesn't matter. I could turn bushings for Matts as well I suspect. So really he's got more options than he realizes. ( Farmer Jones..:) )

Zackly !!!
Once you see the "intented" use of the husky/Stihl tool you can see the adaptability and capability of "the Italian army knife" type tool that Walt and Matt are after. (I really don't think the Swiss ever had a real army thus ever really needed an army 'knife')

Plus it makes justifying your next LATHE purchase viable !!!thus answering the age old question of " how does one cut more firewood with a lathe" ???

Honey ...I NEED A LATHE

I think I might grind some old cranks for my left hand taps as I don't want to buy rarely used taps and my only other use might be superfluous timing wheel adapters. AvE had a nice video of this technique that I can't find. So here's a link to a much crappier video with the same concept complete with AvE style no focus event.

The taps aren't THAT expensive. ...

But it depends on how many saws you are doing ....and what saws. If you just want to pull flywheel side through the you only need m10 and m8 for most saws.

Lotta work to diy a tap.....imho.

While he cut threads in plastic with that.
There is a reason taps are made of HSS and carbide.

its cool that your guys are making tools Walt, I bet they will be improved tools compared to Huskies.
Most of parts are cheaper in US but not service tools, dont know why they are cheaper over here, retail price was 38$ for a 242 kit. My main dealer let me buy them for 20-22$ for a kit, cant even buy iron and taps for that price.

Well pardon my suggestion. I like to learn new tricks.

Its either hard enough to cut what ever stock im messing with once or it isn't. I have a pile of wasted cranks so the cost for failure is 0 to me. If 10 minutes with the angle grinder can't save me $20, that's when I'll buy a one time use tool. Its not rocket surgery.

Well, the crank should be hardened, so odds are it wouldn't make a bad tap. If it works more power to ya. I've done things like that before, and they don't seem to work out so good, but if you can get it, by all means please post the results.

Crank threads are no where near hard enough for making a tap out of for steel. May cut fairly well in aluminum.

I have repaired the threads on several cranks with buggered up threads from ham fisted disassemblers.
They are fairly soft.

i'm surprised the cranks are not harder...are they not a bearing surface...ie... for the clutch pin bearing?

I get all my taps (RH and LH) from McMaster Carr.
I have a lathe, but no desire to strip a saw down to replace bearings. I'd rather bring it to my favorite dentist buddy.
