Looks awesome. Let us know how it works.
That was exactly what I was envisioning! Alternatively, it looks like with the Oregon lightweight bars they mill a pocket that is larger on the outside so they can bolt an aluminum sheet to either side.You could grind out a thin channel in the triangles so epoxy will stick to it very well, and get a couple of flat bars and coat them with something that epoxy won't stick to so the filling is flush.

I dunno, he said it works great on limbs. When I grab a light saw its not to buck 30" wood, that being said I cut, buck, limb with the same saw so what do I know lol.Well that kinda stinks. It look sick as it is.

OK so I got a chance to try it yesterday... And on smaller rounds <6" preformed perfect!! I only had one bigger piece of soft maple on my bucking table, probably about 16" round and I'm sad to report that the window's in the bar plugged up with chips and I needed to pull out to clear and then go back into the cut. Then I grabbed my Dolmar that I just put the BB kit in and finally got a chance to try it and that turned in to more fun than this saw with the modified bar.
So all is not lost here, my friend does some Epoxy work and I plan to make a groove or Counter bore and fill with epoxy and see if that holds up!
Carbon fiber bars, now there's an idea.If shipping was not so much I would send you a bar to modify then I would inlay it with some Carbon Fibre plaque samples I have.
Would not work so well the CF would not hold up well with a chain filing it down with use. Also the dust is toxic!. I am thinking cut out a section add the CF and then enjoy the weight savings. Now all this being said Cf is $$$$$ But fibreglass is much cheaper and quite light. Even Lexan could be used. If it was not so dammed expensive I would be tempted to have some sections laser cut out of a bar and then add some CF and see how that works.Carbon fiber bars, now there's an idea.
what about the parameter of the saw blade being steel ant the middle of it being whatever? I think that might work...
