CLEARCUT meets the 500i

View attachment 290276 View attachment 290277 My hillbilly fix... I liked it a lot today.

Nice job. It might clear more chips if you switch that screw around on the back strap. Instead of having the nut on the inside, have the nut and washer sticking out with screw on the inside.
Cool fix though.

I’d do that, but I don’t want it to rub the fuel tank...not a ton of room. After taking the picture, I put shoe-goo over the bolt to help clear chips, and protect a thrown chain.

View attachment 290280 View attachment 290281 I’ve never tried one of these, but I’m going to give it a go.

Don’t pinch or pry the tip and they last a long time. The 4 rivet tip is probably the “weakest” point, not as strong as 6 rivet stihl or 5 rivet sugihara. But I kinda like the profile of the tsumura tip for bore cutting. Bore cuts smooth.

Might be a good place for some rivets if you decide to keep it.

Yeah, I just need to get the right ones.

Good idea on the rivets...

Harbor freight might be your friend or McMaster Carr.

I know I need something with a wide head or can take a washer.

Started on the shovel-log piece today.

I liked the Tsumura bar today. Chain felt like it glided really well on it compared to a Stihl lightweight. Didn’t feel much heavier either.

I liked the tsumura's, but the tips do not like snow. Doesn't look like an issue in the block you're cutting.
I call them my summer bars.

Because of the hot, cold, hot, cold?

 

[Infinitejest]

That's the best I can figure. 2-3 days out of a tip in snow. Kind of aggravating, lol.

That’s crazy. We’ll see what happens, I suppose.

Have you tried the cannon LW bars out?

Have you tried the cannon LW bars out?

No. I’d like to, but Madsens said they can’t get any until August or something. I haven’t checked everywhere, but it sounds like they are a little difficult to get. @HYPERSAWS has a 28 that I can test out, but I just haven’t yet.

I need something to replace the 34” Oregon I have but can’t bring myself to spend that much yet. Definitive Dave did have them or was getting them pretty regularly

How much was it compared to a Stihl light weight? Weight differences?

Nice strip layout looks good. You guys off on a spur road off the Signal tree mainline?

 

[redline4]

We use these to hold license plate brackets on. Aluminum, the one is to show how they expand.


I can send you some if you want. Might take a bit to get there from Wisconsin though.

This 32 was $118. I don’t remember what I last payed for the Stihl.
We are at the 8 mile marker. Just finished below the pavement, and now working above it.
