Now taking pre-orders on 044,046,066 full wraps

[Work Saw Collector]

I forgot to ask, do we use factory mounting hardware or will it require longer screws? Do you have a pic of the bottom?

The 046 and 66 don't need longer screws. . . You just swap the side mount screws for the bottom screws. The 044 has shorter screws all together I think?

Stihl #9074 478 4705 are P6 X 40's. . . We were thinking of just including those with the handle for the bottom mount. They are only available from our local dealer (so says Ribe in Germany, and Stihl as well) -- they're $1.95 a piece here. If we order 100 at a time, they'll give us a break of around 20%.

Our bottom mounts are around 28mm thick, and the side mounts are the same as stock. With the 40mm screws, that'd give ya 14mm to screw into the bottom.

The bottom piece is machined from a solid piece of aluminum. The coating on the production handles will also go to the edge of the bottom mount, and not be held back like the test handle shown here. We're thinking having the coating over the weld will add to the bars strength.

Nate,

I have a HUGE worldwide fastener dist near me...shall I see what they have to offer, or are we wanting to keep the torx head??

Nate, thanks for the support.

yea, i may seem new to saws but i started into saws with an 028wb about 9 years ago. my dad gave it to me because it didnt run, problem is i like to tinker. about an hour later it was running.

thread is in the proper forum now nate, best of luck

Really good looking bars! Love that coating. I think you will end up making some for the popular huskies and do a 3/4 wrap version also for both. I know that takes time and money. Not many loggers on this site though, word of mouth will help you more than here imo. I'll spread the word!

btw, very nice 440!

All of Stihls screws are proprietary, and made by Ribe in Germany. They're a special pitch plastic screw for Stihl saws.

After many emails to Ribe (their Engrish sucked, and my German was about as good), and some emails to Stihl. . . We're stuck buying them from our dealer -- which is okay.

And yes, they're 6mm X 40mm, used on a lot of the 66 line of saws.

MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER!

Wess, it wasn't mine, I SWEAR! LOL

It was my buddy Rod's saw. . . It was shiny so I decided to use it for pics and video.

And he comes thru with the assist AGAIN!! Rep sent your way Fred.

I'll get on templating my 372. . . That way we got at least a couple Husky's to offer.

We are just starting too, so I envision a lot of models being templated in the near future.

Man I would love the handlebar for my 046 but I cant justify 100 bucks for a saw that cost 150

Totally understandable. . . For some these handles will be a want, for others a need.

Heck, a lot of guys don't like a full wrap at all.

Thanks for your kind words.

Bump for those who took the poll

I thought you had an 066 Carl?

I think a 3/4 wrap for huskys would sell good. It would keep from clogging up with noodles as bad for the firewooders who noodle blocks so they can be handled.
