Yet Another "What's On The Bench?" Thread.

[nbouley010]

Well this might be an interesting 2nd saw to work on but for the price ($15) couldn't pass up the garage sale.

I'm very eager to finsih this dude to see what the to do is with these. I plan on running it stock for a bit but it will get cut at some point.

This is on the bench at the moment. The guy who had this saw had to replace a muffler screw. It looks like he used
one from a TANK!?

Now here is the question. It is probably fixable, but is it worth fixing. The problem with getting another case half is (at least in my experience) they do not always mate up well.
Open for suggestions here. I'd really like to get this saw fixed...but don't we all. Thanks in advance for your thoughts

I'm not following you. But I never was the brightest light in the hallway. I do have a small plumbers torch (not the proper name I'm sure). Is that what you are suggesting...

 

[Mastermind]

Yeah.......like soldering.

Those rods got some great reviews, pretty interesting.

I tried to MIG weld one, but I couldn't turn my welder down low enough. It worked out, but it looked like butt.

That is a big saw, should be nice when it is done.

They're not that big. I had a 797 Mac that I traded to Randy Evans...
That's a big sumbich.

Hey, my ported 046 is a beast, the potential in those larger saws is incredible.

Very nice PSI, has that saw been modified, or is that stock? Also, for my info, do you know when that saw was made (or give the 1st 4 o the SN? Thanks.

The one I got from Neal ain't going nowhere, but I may have something else in the works.
