My home made saw vise.





It now has a permanent place on my dedicated saw workbench.



I keep the pressure and vacuum testing stuff in one drawer, pullers and special tools in the other. Both drawers have a lot more stuff in them now.

Splitters for Stihl and Jonsered.



I have a small arbor press for certain jobs.



I modified an adjustable wrench for use as a clutch removal tool.



Needed it for the KMS4



I bought the bar rail closer from Baileys. Original cheap bearings broke but since replacing them with good bearings it has been working well.

I have used a number of different chain vises, the fist one was a real (circular) saw vise.



Once I wore out the mechanism in that one I made my own as you can see in the background above. I also have one of Mike's (Homelite 410) but can't find any photos right now.

I also have the breaker and spinner set from Baileys. I took me a while to figure out I had to skip the alignment key when using the breaker, I don't think I've broken a punch in two or three years now.



The Tool Shop parts washer from Menards has been a great asset, I think I may be on the second pump now but I've been using mineral spirits all along.



I have an old drawing file in the attic for storing gaskets and such. Not exactly a tool but a good way to keep a lot of parts organized.

My Princess Auto gear and bearing puller is not the most expensive but I find it serves me very well.



I used to use my table saw with a 10" sanding disc for truing up bar rails. Works great but does require you to clean out the sawdust before each use...or risk the consequences.



I now have the unit from Baileys, nice to have it always available but I really liked the larger table and nice finished from the table saw w/disc.



For grinding the bar groove I still resort to a table saw set up using the Bar Shop wheels. Not as precise as a real machine set up but I don't have to rescue too many bars.

Tool I made to remove the clutch from my SP118 (166)



Timing tools for McCulloch, there is another for the large frame saws as well. I rarely use these and rely on the point gap to get the timing correct.



If you work on old saws you will eventually have to rescue a coil by replacing the spark plug wire, I found these "screw removal" bits to be the best tool for cleaning out the broken off stubs.



It is even a left hand rake so the last bit normally unscrews off the stud in the bottom of the receptacle.

I work on older stuff mostly, some can be pretty rough. From time to time I even have to resort to painting a few bits.

Parts washer again, clean solvent this time. It never looks like this for very long. If you pile enough bars in the bottom it becomes extremely stable.



I have a cheap little USC that I occasionally use for carburetors and such. I am not sure it works all that well.



Berryman's Chem Dip (0996) works pretty well for baked on carbon and such, leave it soak for a few days to soften the really thick deposits. I am still looking for a crock pot or slow cooker to try the heated purple power soak some have recommended.



For parts that are really nasty, I have a small sand blast cabinet. Long use in the summer months leads to sweat dripping off the arms...



For some jobs we take it outside with the portable blaster. I can get once used blasting grit from a local manufacturer so no problems with materials.

My invention for painting in the shop last winter, my portable paint booth. I connected the exhaust to my shop dust collector and it works extremely well.







You know it's time to change the filter with the exhaust fan pulls the Gorilla tape off.

Again not exactly a tool, but I will never be without a can of Red Cote in the shop. One quart costs around $40 at O'Reillys and will do 6 or 8 tanks. Make sure they are very clean to start with and allow plenty of time for curing.

What is it for?

mike made one for me that was origionally just a 3 slot that works awesome for anything that has 3 bolts (set on 120*) to be pulled. Lots of older dolmar clutches and flywheels have that set up. I suggested adding the 4th slot to add more functionality for clutches and flywheels that are 2 bolt (180*). I have already used it on a couple dozen saws.

I will mention that saws like the dolmars with a hallow tip on either end of the crank tend to crack and brake if you use a pointed jack bolt instead of a blunted one. I just bought an extra jack bolt and have one of each depending on application.

Mike is the man with the plan and makes AWESOME tools. Just look at his chain vises and bar adapters!

I have been using a heat gun for heating up cases for a while, it was a pretty slow process. So last week I picked up a toaster oven and all I can say is wow. I am able to put both case halves in there at the same time and set the temp and go onto other things. Way faster IMO and easier than a heat gun.

I want to see a video ( including closing the case ) of this toaster method

I used Randy's method for installing bearings on a 046 and the heat gun really worked great just a cheap one but works great none the less.
