Ugly Betty

[Definitive Dave]

She ain't a looker, but she is fast where it counts

Ugly Betty was built in May of 2016 by Jason at JMS Saws.
Stock 064 with a new KS OEM MS660 cylinder and a Meteor 288 piston, New oem Walbro WJ-69 carb with oversize OEM main jet, a Squarefile Velocity Stack and a Green Meanie air filter.
In this video she is wearing a slinky silver custom 16" 3/8 bar and a "practice" 60DL 3/8" chain by Mike Lee.
Just a quick couple cuts in a poplar 10 x 10

I took her to the PA gtg and a few guys got to run her, but I forgot to give her a proper introduction here when I got back.

Stout little thing. I'm thinking Jason has got these things figured out. Very nice.

 

[jmssaws]

Where does a guy get one of them bars?
I've got my cad under control but my bad is full blown

 

[idiotwithasaw]

I too am curious about the bar, looks like an old remington???

 

[t4driller]

Those bars are pretty sweet. He had them at the pa gtg and said he had them custom made. Also had a couple for sale.

 

[jake wells]

i want one for a 350 in a .325 configuration.

Cant looked pretty slick for the practice chain. I'll have the other sent back in a day or two

I don't think there is any pitch for a roller nose, only guide tooth gauge. I believe that is the utility of them. You can go from 3/8, .325, and picco and only change the rim sprocket. As long as they are all .050 or whatever the size of the rail groove. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Another great saw Jason. That things an animal.

Those roller nose bars are pretty neat and the saw is a health runner!

Dave you gonna bring Betty to the MI GTG I didn't get a chance to dance with her at the Penn gtg.

 

[jmssaws]

That is a fast smooth chain.
Good job mike.

That is a fast smooth chain.
Good job mike.

Thanks. I don't even know if that chain was stoned and anything besides just filed. The real good one is at my house in a box

 

[quietfly]

Roller nose bars are the next level of CAD
At this point I have two of them for large mount Stihl (084, 075), two for the small mount Stihl (026, 044, 064 etc.) one each for small and large mount Husky.
They are hard to find as they haven't been made in a long time.
I have some NOS bars that a buddy helped me find and then I had them modified to fit popular mounts.
I plan to stick them on the Bay soon if I can ever stop posting on forums long enough to get some work done

I am developing a pretty bad Bar habit, I collect small bars with pristine printing for display, large old engraved bars for display, roller nose bars for racing stuff. Like I said just another level of CAD

My bar collection is getting silly,I'm more into bars than saws anymore

 

[jacob j.]

The short roller nose bars are getting hard to find, but fortunately Cannon is re-popping NOS roller nose assemblies.

If you can find them, the best ones to get are the Oregon "Universal" mount in 17" and 21". They were made for about twelve years from around 1960 to 1972 and use the 2 3/4" roller nose.

 

[Basher]

The old Remingtons and Pioneers ran a lot of roller nosed bars, both short and long, they may have been used with .404 chain back then but that won`t stop anyone from running/using any pitch chain you want with them.

 

[smokey7]

I have one of those roller nose bars that came off a clinton d55. I wonder if I can make it fit any of my saws?
