Thank you JeffNice work Kevin.
I’m finding that I don’t sleep for longer than 2-3 hours now. I wake up, but at least I can still get back to sleep. Good seeing you still around too Angelo, are you planning on getting to Dan’s in May ?been waiting for the "spinny thing money shot" ....and bang.....saw porn at its best. !!!
good to see ya Kev....if only online. when I was your age I worked 100 weeks too...now I can't stay awake for that long
I’m hoping that this saw is impressive after she starts cutting wood, but thanks Ryan !This is pretty impressive kevin.
very much planning on Dan's.... always good to see the "band" get back together !!!!Thank you Jeff

Thanks Doc !Good to see a build thread Kev. The 395 you ported for me is a beast, plain and simple.
Thanks for taking the time to post a thread.
At least for me, an 066 cutting plate works on a 394/5 if you rotate the jug 90*. They actually line up perfectly enough.
Only thing I caught was using the MattyO tool backwards. The smaller end goes on the inner bearing race and the larger end gets a washer so the soft aluminum doesn’t get chewed up. Hope there is no damage there. Also, I could be wrong and the tool is meant to be flipped for different models.
The welding looks great. Mag is very hard to do well.
Advantage, Stihl!Those side cover threaded holes are a poor design. I was able to use an insert that held but it was pretty wallowed out and I was lucky.
This repair will be much better. Nice job.
I’m looking forward to comparing this one and the one that is up nextYou know this 394/395 is going to be really nice and all, BUT I’m waiting for the next build
Just joking....well kind of
Pissed me off royally, was supposed to be a good runner, not a pile of twisted and tweaked junk partsUggh.
Reweld.
Thanks Pat, the M5 helicoil tap just fell through the hole in the back too, this front cover thread was about one of the worst I’ve seenThose side cover threaded holes are a poor design. I was able to use an insert that held but it was pretty wallowed out and I was lucky.

Too funny Doc !!Advantage, Stihl!
SORRY. HAD TO.
I’m shocked that you couldn’t find that fixture in your organized barn????I’m looking forward to comparing this one and the one that is up next

I don’t know which I like better, these 394/5 or the 661........
And wouldn’t you know it ........ found the lost 395 fixture as I was looking for washers for the new one

I plan on getting the 36” RS 404 setup with an 8 tooth drive on her for testingI’d be curious to see how they compare running bars up to 36.” That’s the longest mine would ever run.
Organized kaos still has some structure, the only structure in that rectangle is the frame itself.I’m shocked that you couldn’t find that fixture in your organized barn????
That’s just about everything though, base, extension, and squish is all cutOoooooooo more "spinny money shots" !!!!
Great welder ????DNT be affraid to try a Big Sert kit, same setup as a time sheet except the outside diameter is larger to fix the really wallered out holes, the inserts them selves cost more then a time sert but the kit is the same price at 72.00, I realize Kevin is a great welder and wasn't nessecary for him but it might help someone who doesn't have access to a great welder. Hope this helps someone.
