Carbon fiber 42” bar

[SOS Ridgerider]

I don't think there is one out there, I keep threatening to make some carbon fiber like @SOS Ridgerider

Hell yeah David!! Was I supposed to weigh my bars or something and get back to you, by the way? There’s something in the back of my head that says I was.

Not that I remember. I need to get some CF and get to milling. My CNC guy says holding the bars will be a bit tricky to set up.

If the mills table is big enough I don't see how clamping down any length of bar is going to be tricky.
Time consuming - YES!

BUT, I am not a milling/machining Pro so that I may not see the whole picture!

Ok. Fair enough. I just had a feeling you asked me to do something and I forgot. Probably not then. Lol. I can’t even remember what I just had for breakfast anyways, so I’m not surprised

I’m sure your guy will come up with something, but if I have pics of how my buddy did it, I’ll send them to you. I know he did it on a small machine. I think just a Bridgeport in his basement.

I think he was thinking production and magnetic or vacuum holding, and different sizes of bars. Also concerns with vibration. For just doing a couple/few the same size, 42” clamping would probably work. I figure that’s the only one worth doing as one can already buy LW bars in shorter lengths. @SOS Ridgerider yeah if you have pics fire away.

I’m in for a 42” if possible.

Can I play too? I would love a lightweight 42” bar for my 661

I’d be down for one to try on the 395 to compare to my cannon.

Would probably just be an oregon bar...or I guess we could do a cannon if one wanted.

Carbon fiber inserts...light and rigid, but from what I understand, you loggers might bust ‘em popping notches out.

Just to see how stiff it is in comparison to the cannons.

Some of us Loggers are refined gentlemen. We pop our notches out with an ax.

Does cannon (or anyone else) make a LW 42” already?

Supposedly they will be coming out with one this fall

 

[davidwyby]

@SOS Ridgerider maybe we should move this thread and rename to the 42" LW thread...or merge? I think there was another too...

Or, we just match up our cuts and the damn thing falls out,, but either way I’d still like to have a 42” lw bar for my 661 !

 

[davidwyby]

Ok, I’ll make some

how many?

If you do can we make one request the adjuster holes are drilled for Husky adjuster pins and the slot is the length of a husky on a Stihl bar.

If you can do some of the stuff above I’d be in for one.
