Not that it's any cheaper but a super 925xl or a 955xl will fit on that saw too.

As far as I know neither US Chrome or Millennium are doing a blind cylinder. I spoke with Millennium a few months back when a blowhard on another site was claiming they were doing them. The rep there said NO!

On that subject there might another possibility other than replating .That would be over bore and cast iron or 4140 steel cylinder liner .I've only done one being a 125 McCulloch . Dave at I think CCC in Columbus Ohio has done several with good succcess .He has a small boring machine while I used what I had being a Monarch lathe and a Bridgeport milling machine .I have pictures of it but Dave put it on You Tube .

I believe @Red97 can do sleeves as well.

Dyno Joe does sleeves if I remember correctly.

That was some timing!

We make a good team.

Indeed.

The process is not cheap. I'd look at it as a last resort.

It could have been him also .I talked to both of them at Saw Fest last year . Not to change the subject but Dave had an old school Homelite 650 racer I recognized from years ago done by big Dave Neiger (RIP ) .I ran that thing a long time ago .

 

[Al Smith]

Now regarding sleeves .The process requires some forethought .Any decent machinist could do it .I myself am not a machinist by trade but I can do anything a tool and die maker can do it just takes me a lot longer .
