History of Bow Saws

[Adirondack]

Just thought I would post pictures of a running Bowbar. More I run'em the more I like'em. Notice the chips do not enter the saw.

Amazing! Someone actually CUTTING with a bow bar rather than starting the saw and showing it running!!! I'd like to find one someday.

Stihl 028 super, I got for $10.00. I put the bow bar on it.

After watching those videos i want one now. I know they were just cutting pine and it's easy to cut. I liked the fact that you don't have to bend over as much. I will be lookin for one for my 036 around here, may even take one for the 250 too. It's hard on the back leaning way down to cut smaller logs.

Pics of my Mac4300 with bow:

As you can tell this is really a PM700 with different stickers, I have yet to see another like it.

The more this thread ends up on top the more I want one, more money into the saws.
