Need help finding a carving bar for a Shindaiwa 488

[Reefmespla]

Hello all,

New to the forum and needed some advice on some equipment for chainsaw carving. If this is the incorrect forum please let me know. I have been a wood turner for a long time and would like to try my hand at some carving too. I would like to find a quarter tip bar to go on my old saw and have no idea what size I need? My saw is a Shindaiwa 488, does anybody know what model bars will fit this saw?

Thanks,

Reef

Try contacting Bob King @ Bear Necessities -- The online gallery of Award Winning Chainsaw Carver Bob King. He is a world class carver and an excellent businessman. If he does not carry the bar you need he can probably recommend a source where you can find one if they are available. Have you given any consideration to running a quarter tip bar instead? A lot of the professional carvers do most of their detailing with a quarter tip.-ken

Anything with the Husky 041 mount should fit it.
