scorched stihl 046 complete rebuild. w/ pic's

[matt9923]

Those of us that like to restore hopeless saws have to stick together.

As soon as I have time and get a few projects done I'm going to do a thread about a smashed saw. We'll see if I can make it live again without buying any parts, or at least as few as possible.



Mr. HE

Yup

got a 066 coming. probably another full rebuild.

That is great.

I told myself no more buying saws till I get some finished.

But that didn't stop me from doing a little dealing to trade for some.:biggrinbounce2:

It sure is hard not to buy. Funny how when you don't have a project you cant find nothing then when you got some you get leads on a bunch of great deals.

Don't forget to spread in a orderly manner all the saw components of the saw side by side in a big "family picture" before the reassemble and a picture in every step of the reassemble with lots and lots of comments.

I love rebuilding stuff and fixing stuff, but how much did this all cost and after you are done, do you think it was worth all the effort? You did an awsome job btw.

saw- $130
parts- $220 With newer plastic filter/ cylinder cover

Ill be in the saw around $350


If I come across a tank/ handle in better shape ill get it but ill clean mine up so it usable.

Was it worth it- Ill let the finished saw speak for itself
But it did take many hours, I think a different blast media will cut the blast time in 1/2.

In the future, if your powder coating, you can get away with coarser media, the powder coat fill's roughness it creates.

What should I use? heavy grit glass or something different?

I'd step up to heavy grit glass first, silica will work fine, but its real abrasive. I know its kinda pricey testing out different stuff, but either will do fine I think.
