The official spike template thread... please upload your templates

Actually, the OEM type spike for the SP80 saw is quite special, not a flat piece but has an offset bent into it to put the spike a bit closer to the bar. I think they would be quite difficult to try and reproduce at home. Bryce often has them available though his store, this one happens to be rockcrusher.

I do have a couple of home made flat spikes that were made to fit the earlier saws, in fact I traced one last week but failed to bring it to work so I could scan it.

If I have some time and remember over the weekend I will try to get a couple of options for the 10 Series saws prepared. I think there will be a relatively easy way to make a modified PM 10 Series profile that will bolt up to the older saws. I don't believe there is a way to make one fit both older -10 and SP models as well as the later PM 10 Series due to the very different profile to fit the PM saws.

The patterns I left earlier were all for the large frame older saws.

I did remember to take some photos, I will post them over in the McCulloch thread in the Stickies section and get the tracing scanned and posted here on Monday when I am back in the office.

Here are 4 different spike patterns to fit the 10 Series saws. #1 and #2 are home made jobs that will fit the short clutch covers, #1 will work on the non chain brake cover as well as the chain brake cover, #2 will only work on the short chain brake covers, it would block access to the front bar stud on the non CB type cover.

#3 is the factory spike that fits the gear drive 10 Series but will also fit the short style chain brake covers.

#4 is the factory spike for the PM 10 Series with the long clutch covers, also fits the 600 Series saws like the 610, 605, 650, etc...

Here's a Homelite 360 spike, I see Biker Dude was looking for one, the photos not to scale, the 2 bolt holes should be 6cms apart.
Im in the process of making up a new spike for my 1050super, have got hold of a large industrial saw blade which is 4mm thick and will use a plasma cutter to cut the pattern out.

Pioneer, would you mind posting the pattern for the Homelite 360 bucking spike again? I'd like to make one out of a 10" saw blade or something similar. Advice? Never made one before.
