Hello!
I have one Husky 42 inch hard nose bar already, but happened
to come over another new/unused one for virtually no money,
although I do not really need it - so my plan was/is to shorten it
to 36 inch or so ... .
Not the most usual chain saw repair activity I guess - anyway I
was originally thinking of chopping of the nose and then reshap-
ing it appropriately - but then was told that hard nose means no-
se is hardened steel so it shouldn't last very long at all if created
in above suggested fashion (with no factory hardening) ... ?
So then there is the choice of either chopping of the tail and resh-
ape it or to cut of the bar on the middle - making a sandwich sort
of fit with a saw cut in the middle of one of the halfs and filing of
material to sandwich in on the other part - possibly joining them
by point welding or so - just a winter exercise ... .
Which is the best option (if any ) ... ?
PS. The bar actually is an Oregon Laser Tip painted in Hva col-
ours (of course ?) ... .
