Around here RR rail is scare as well. Of course when you are as hard headed as Brian you don't need an anvil - no matter how much he brings it up, I am not buying his Bultaco nor running his MAC 35.

Hahaha c'mon Ron quality machines those are

No doubt both are quality, but I don't heal as fast as I used to. Ron
That woodland pro looks pretty good, Aesthetically I'd like my rivets to be shiny like the factory ones.That one is really nice Vinny, I have one very similar. I find it difficult to use the breaker as it doesn't seem to close on the tie straps very well.

This is the Woodland Pro kit, I have used this one quite a lot.

This is the Oregon set up, I haven't used it as much but it works well. I will have to replace the thrust washers some point as this one had a lot of use. I had to make a handle for the spinner since the former owner had cut it off in order to drive it with a cordless drill.

Ahh that one could have been hopeless when you put it in the attic lol. Are you sure you didnt buy chainsaws for a couple of years while sleepwalking ? I love when you post pictures from your attic stash like " well I guess this rare thing was up there?" It cracks me up!I had some visitors today and while showing them the saws in the attic I found a few more of the 33/35 model saws. One seems rather hopeless...

But there was another 33B up there that will get cleaned up and moved over to the museum.

In addition, I got this 33 cleaned up in preparation to move it over as well.

The bar cleaned up pretty nicely. The red you see is a reflection from my shirt.

Mark, How do you clean your bars that clean? Mine has some rust on it and I would like to clean it up nicely if I am going to use it as a display. I am afraid I will take off the McCulloch off it.I had some visitors today and while showing them the saws in the attic I found a few more of the 33/35 model saws. One seems rather hopeless...

Maybe one of these days I will get him to at least ride that Bul. Or maybe the KDX200 or the Sherco or the Goldwing.... Or maybe one of the race bikes.Around here RR rail is scare as well.

MS, It will break and spin 1/4, 3/8LP, 3/8 and .404. I really like it. I have used Ron's and it is good, but this one has a die that holds the chain from moving in one direction and that makes things much easier to break chains. I seam to have trouble with a conventual unit centering them to break the chain. With this one it centers the chain in one axis and you just have to center it in the other axis. The spinner is much like a conventual spinner.I've never seen one like this, does it do all chain for you?
I see that your mac breaker is a bit different. I know that the one i have superceded one. Yours must be the earlier. I dont have much issue with breaking chain but i dont do that often either. Lining up the rivet can be a pain but that could be my eyes..lol. Spinning with it is great though. 1 full turn and done it seems.That one is really nice Vinny, I have one very similar. I find it difficult to use the breaker as it doesn't seem to close on the tie straps very well.

Ive watched a video of "the chainsaw guy" peen a rivet. I was going that route until that breaker/spinner showed up. I never had any issues, ive also done that on a new holland 451 for many years...still do. I guess you learn when its too much peening at some point or not enough.I have a 12"x12"x2" piece of steel and I use with a small ball peen , I've got the presets from frawley also and they seem like quality parts .
I appreciate the feed back from everyone I'm still up in the air about the spinners because I was born patient with things like peening, I'm glad a bunch of guys weren't saying that chains break loose on them all the time.
If it will fit in a pre paid USPS box, do you want a 70 pound piece I see it quite a bit and have a mini anvil made out of a piece.Around here RR rail is scare as well. Of course when you are as hard headed as Brian you don't need an anvil - no matter how much he brings it up, I am not buying his Bultaco nor running his MAC 35.
