Looks to me you could also add the Echo CS-5500 to the list of saws that could use it....I had this saw before and the only bar and chain set-up you could run was their darn safety chain and bar, but after making a little cruder gadget than these, I was able to run a Stihl or Oregon bar and an aggressive chain.......I thought for the size of the 5500 it should cut a lot better, and after the mods it was like night and day, the CS-5500 became a pretty good saw to cut with....If I get time to work on the few I have setting around the garage I'll be ordering a few...looks like pretty good work...

Since some of you have some machining skills, have any of you considered making some custom 12mm studs for the bar conversion instead of the adapter? If you modeled them off of the new ones on the Stihl 441, that would be an improvement, making bar changes easier.
 
I need to buy a couple more 12mm Husky adapters...............and I still eagerly await the 12mm Homelite, 12mm Poulan, and 14mm Homelite/Mac adapters.

Thank you! One never knows when they will stumble upon a stupid good deal on a bar that may not be the right mount! I had a guy give me a new Windsor 28" stihl mount and it works perfect on my Jonsered saws with my adapter. All of my original pictures are actually of that bar at the beginning of this thread!
