One case tool to rule them all!

[Mattyo]

Yup...tools that can be altered to suit taste....very nice.

I'm gonna ship a few to @Glock37 and they'll be available at the gtg in September.

I have to agree Randy, its just simple and easy. I've had the set since the end of 2018 and have used it many times for both Husky and Stihl saws. I assembled a MS660 china case with OEM internals last night:

No use trying to hide it is it Adam . I thought it would be good for everyone to know that @Mattyo has his tool in the most remote corners of the earth!

I bought the kit as i just really got into rebuilding saws. I think for the price you wont find any better and the quality is pro grade.

 

[Mattyo]

Thanks @Fosty97 !!

Quick update... I'm already running low on rods. I've let my machinist know, and i'll be ordering some metal soon and getting on that, aiming for having stock continuously but its hard keeping stuff stocked. I'm trying to not have TONS of stock at any given point in case demand dies down, but so far things have been pretty consistent.

I'm no longer making my own sleeves, the machinist is doing it, and I've got a PILE of those stocked at this point.

The adventure continues!

Also...as a general update im not doing much with saws these days... but stuff is still available and I'm still around if anyone needs anything.

I love this set! It works very well!

 

[farminkarman]

I have rebuilt several saws with my set, and it works great. I highly recommend the investment to anyone working on saws.

I just got a full set of these tools and used them on an old 066 yesterday. Very sweet! Beats beating with a hammer. I think they could be adapted for pulling bearings into case halves as well. Heat guns do work well but these might be worth a shot too. Thanks again Matt.
Can't help but wonder if something along the lines of auto body shims could be made for centering the crank during assembly.?

It will center itself, if you let it, by doing the flywheel side first and placing the bearing fully in the pocket. This will automatically index the crankshaft in the case and the PTO side bearing simultaneously.

How do those work, I have not seen them before?

Long video from Matt himself but if you skip up to about the 9 minute mark he starts using the tools he made.

Oh, I have those crank tools from Matt...yeah, they are awesome. I was wondering how you would use the autobody shims. As for pulling the bearings in, I just use a bolt, nut and about 10 washers (sometimes I can get away with less than 10). Once I get the bearing set initially as straight as possible, then I assemble the bolt, washers and nut and just crank the bearing in with the ratchet drive.

 

[dirter]

In the video he uses a small piece of cardboard as a spacer to let him know where to stop when pulling the crank through the first bearing. I was thinking auto shims would work better.
