DOLMAR/MAKITA The Official Sachs Dolmar Dolmar Makita Dolmar Chainsaws Thread

[old_sir_henry]

May I guide your attention to the fact this thread just overran the 3000 replies mark?

Here are some pics from January 2016, that was when I only owned two chainsaws: A PS-6100
as my second saw and aPS-3410, my first.

Now, approx. 3 years later, there are about 35 or somesuch in my barn and all oft them
are runners. There are also 4 or 5 saws waiting for service. Funny how fast they accumulate...

The PS-6100 shown here has a 60cm Pro-Am (24") bar mounted and has done some cutting
in dry oak. The 6100 approaches her limits, I'd say. Normally I have 45 cm ~ 18" mounted
and have sold the 24" bar last summer since I have no more need for it.

Do you silk screen bars?

I have a buddy that has the ability to make me a silk screen.

That's nice. I wished I had that too. 30 to 35 years ago I have been silk screen printing myself a lot,
mainly posters, T-shirts and such.
Back then I had the facilities at hand but it's all gone many years ago when I changed my profession.
Miss that stuff sometimes.

Got this NOS 115i a couple weeks ago.

I don't think I have been more jealous of anything in my life. My wife would
divorce me for what I would be willing to pay for one of those.

Good finish for this year: I completed the rebuild of my Sachs-Dolmar 123 today:



Nice saw, starts on first pull, the bar is NOS only the muffler looks bad because I had to weld some stain holes.

Happy New Year everybody!

That saw cost me $100.

 

[old_sir_henry]

That saw cost me $100.

Now that makes me jealous too

 

[homeheater]

That saw cost me $100.

That hurts. I would pay a ridiculous amount more than that for one if I could get away with it. My most favorite saw.

Chainsaws are serious *frenching business mang!
That her game face!

I run a 7 pin with 18 .325 on mine mostly for reach. And that Oregon only crap is bs. When I got mine it had an Oregon 7t 3/8s and now it has a 7t325 Chinese from HLS.

GB rims from Left Coast Supplies will fit Oregon Spines.

or built for the 309 Saw

The 520 is a dolmar 111...44mm is right but not sure about the twin rings. IPL show 1 ring . Il check through some old parts tomorrow and see what i can find out for comparison.

And the twin ring threw me off to.
But if it works I'll run it.

Don't believe it will. Wouldn't work in my 520I. Don't remember the difference it's been a while and a bunch of saws.
Shep
