P7 to SM7 interest?

[Homelite410]

I had a customer of mine ask me to modify the picco rim drive to fit his small spline huskys. Would any of you be interested in one of these rims? I'm just putting feelers out to see if it's worth while. I'm looking at about 20.00 each shipped if I buy the rims myself.

Just for clarification.........you're saying our price would be $20 shipped if you buy the rims? That's not at all ureasonable.

Yes that was my thoughts. I didn't know whether to make a run of 10 or not.

I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere but I don't feel like searching. What are the 3/8LP bar options in k095?

 

[Homelite410]

I have no idea I was asked yo make some. Maybe @J.Walker can help us here.

would there be any way of machining the stock spur gears to accept a rim sprocket?

Maybe file a 3/8 sprocket tip? http://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/picco-bar.287871/page-4#post-5594074

As to the drive end of the system there is also the option of swapping to the 357 setup with a std rim in .404 turned down on the OD, there was a few threads on that. I was thinking about this for a 346 but it runs so well in .325.

I can't afford to turn a spur into a rim. Be easier to just get a rim drive drum.

the reason i asked is because the one i have isnt offered in a rim drive lp 3/8. .325 spur only.

My bad, what saw?

I think @weedkilla had some interest in 3/8" LP rim sprockets, but I can not recall what spline he needed.
I think it was small spline though.
Maybe he chimes in.

How do those cast sprockets behave while milling?
The ones I have/use seem quite hard (Dolmar/Oregon, Carlton), thus I imagine turning them any way would require high quality tooling.
Will solid Carbide (Tungsten-Carbide) mill bits do the trick?
Just asking out of curiosity.

It does seem like a good job for a wire edm

I use solid carbide endmills.

Seems like I touched this a while back... There is a 3/8LP rim sprocket out there or a compatible rim sprocket from another saw...

Husky techlite and cannon supermini are the nice options, there are Oregon and husky branded versions for less $. Modifying a stihl mount to fit isn't unreasonable.

Most of the redmax copies that come equipped with lp chain, actually use a standard 3/8 rim (not saying there isn't one out there.)

I'm curious? Did you end up with much interest?
