Why the swiss cheese style bar?? Do you really need the extra weight savings on an 026??

I plan on taking the holes out to 1 1/4 when I get a chance.I dont know about the weight reduction but it does not seem to vibrate like before.It is lighter too.

i belive your saw is suffering from a case of the very rare metal eating wood mites,,,, soon they'll eat a hole in your muffler for better performance....

Good work.

It looks like you drilled the inner curves with a drill like I did on mine. To get a smooth transition between each spike and the drilled hole I used a dremel with a grinding stone and then a sanding drum to get a smooth finish.

I hand painted them with pot belly black and baked them in a BBQ oven. The paint still can off after a couple of cookies but the work great.

hey bob, nice dawg's, must cut rather slow with the chain on backwards though.

 

[Lakeside53]

LOL....


However... with dogs this big maybe it's better to rework the recoil so the saw runs in reverse:greenchainsaw:

 

[JONSEREDFAN6069]

in australia dosent the water drain in reverse, maybe they cut in reverse too.

Kinda looks like the side cover doesn't quite fit right either. And those little husky nuts...

i think that might be overkill...

You guys are fast on the "key's" :agree2:
But i think the Dawgs look a lot like the ones i bought from Baileys online for my stihl 460http://www.arboristsite.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=85146&stc=1&d=1230587764

Okay, since we are on this subject. I have a single spike for my 026 from Bailey's, but I need screws. What size do I need? Are they std. or Metric?

 

[Metals406]

Isn't the size of your dogs... Directly proportional to the size of your bar nuts?

:monkey:

 

[Janjac]

Fair enough then what about the guy with chain on the wrong way small bar nuts and the big dawgs on a small saw ??? what's he missing then

 

[Janjac]

Hey landrvrnut22
