For me the focus was simply finding reasons to use machining skills.. Nothing more.....Wish more had them so we could chat and exchange idea's...that was my focus. I know....a little off topic. But love machining, miss that part of my life. Hoping to add more in the future.
yea and im trying to find a reason to buy a lathe...I don't need you givin me more ideas !!!!
I was thinking about doing the same thing with installing the seals/bearings as well. the adaptors from the crank to the tool is the link.
pull, separate, install everything needed except pulling the stuck bearings off the crank...
great minds think alike ???
I have used a pile of nachi bearingsBTW I tried those NSK bearings....QUICKLY found out thats not a good idea!!! Since went to Nachi's and won't use anything else unless they are "unique" or proprietary specific to a saw...like the Husqvarna's
I DO NOT NEED A LATHE

I DO NOT NEED A LATHE..
dammit.
I have a 9 in south bend 4 ft bed. Great machine . With some imagination you can make about anything.For me the focus was simply finding reasons to use machining skills..

I guess I could if there is interest. But they would be crude as you can see! I could make up 10-15 and see if there is enough interest I guess....what would be a fair price? Maybe $75 for a "handle" along with the drill and tapped threaded rods & bushing for one saw? $100?? I have no idea as I really hadn't thought about the resale as much as the DIY with a lathe concept. But yea, I can make stuff if folks are interested....treat it as a "saw repair" and put it on the stack! I'll make a couple and see. You folks have to guide this though. Just have to remember each one would be an individual..Any plans to make a few sets of these? I could see these being handy to have.

All you folks with lathes could make this stuff...my bet is some of the "better" builders could also do a "better" job on building these as well... I'll do a couple in MS660 threads and a couple in 372/390 Husqvarna threads.
