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

Use an old bar. Make it a dedicated racer. Come on now Wilhelm

 

[Wilhelm]

I don't have any old spare bar sitting around, as a matter of fact right now I have more saws than bars!

Also, I don't need nor want a 90cc racer.

But I do like the idea of being able to run three different pitches on one bar/saw with the option to swap sprocket tooth count just for the fun of it.

 

[Black Dog Chainsaw]

I have this 24" large Dolmar mount Dolmar branded hard nose bar that takes 90DL in .325" and 80DL in 3/8" - how many DL do I need in .404"?
I tried calculating loop length and came up with 72-74DL.

Do not compare Oregon and Carlton 24" D009 mount bars to this one as it is actually shorter.
My 84DL 3/8" chain is too long for my large Dolmar mount bar.

I want to have chains in each pitch for this bar for play, possibly try larger sprockets for fun.

My standard 24” bar for the 7900 is 76dl of 404 so guessing you’re right on the money at 72-74dl. Sometimes it can change depending on rim size.

404 semichisel (actually old school 404 .058 chipper...)! is what I use when I cut all day long. Keeps an edge forever even in dirty wood conditions.

I will take the saw, bar and rims along to my local Husqvarna dealer and see what DL count they will come up with.

I do not care about all day long cutting, I am craving to try out .404" full chisel.

Does anyone know how to interpret this matrix:



I'm talking about the rectangular 5 by 12 grid which seems to replace the old style rosetta with production year in the center and month indicated on the ring of digits surrounding it?
The pic is taken from a 2007 PS-7900 (or PS-7300). In the left side's column there are two-digit numbers from 05 to 09, probably the year of manufacture. Do the dots represent production months, the last dot (here 07 - 8) representing the production date of the shown crankcase?
What do the other dots stand for and why do certain fields don't carry a dot?

Just curious!

Can you burn copies and “receive compensation” for material and mail copies to those interested?

 

[old_sir_henry]

Should be possible, can't supply the colored inlays however.

No point in that since there ain't spikes big enough to prevent the bar from touching the ground.
This ain't no 166

Scanner & printer can get it done.

I'd be willing to help, just send me the inlays and I'll send them back to You with copies or digital copy in JPEG/PDF.

That's not the job of the poser spikes, that's the job of the poser!

Do You have access to a color copier?
Lining up both sides of the inlay might be a problem though.

Just thinking out loud.

 

[dahmer]

Don’t need the fancy stuff, I planned on writing on it with a Magic Marker!

 

[Wilhelm]

You believe in magic?

Forgot a name brand product here might not be familiar across the pond. Indelible marker.

Good, drop me a P/N.

I have access to a scanner so I could provide scan-files of the inlays in case someone
wants to print them out. I could also provide a disc image file rather than shipping
plastic cross the ocean but I assume, a 750 MB file would nuke most mailboxes...
