I’ve got a Stihl or Windsor chain breaker I’d give you if you want it, but it sounds like you are looking for the combo version?
I was looking at the combo tool setups because of cost alone, I am grateful for your offer and also curious what they look like since I am unable to locate images on the internet after trying to search for them.
Here’s an old pic of it, this style needs a lower-profile anvil than the Oregon version. I seem to recall that it was made by Windsor but branded by Stihl, or something like that.
I think you're right - I remember having one like that on the shelf when I started at a dealership in 2001. We could order parts for them from the distributor (Rick Barbaro in Springfield) that sold all the Windsor stuff (bars, chain, sprockets, etc.)
I have the Stihl spinner to go with it…though I can’t be as generous as slasher.
Do you Think one of the screw adjustable anvils would work with it? or do i need to find the special thin version? or possibly grind the oregon offering down? Im assume the anvil has grown legs
Yeah, I got lucky and picked it up for $5 or so at a thrift store before I had any idea what was what when it came to saws and saw accessories.
edit: @cookies it did not come with an anvil (though the anvil might have been hiding somewhere in the bin) I have a screw type anvil and (provided it’s the same style you’re thinking of) it will not work. You might grind down the Oregon version, or there is a “Stihl chain breaker” on eBay that appears to be a Stihl anvil, but idk if it will fit this breaker. You could message the seller and ask, though.
