Homemade atv chainsaw press

[385XP]

I finially got around to making me up a saw press. Figured I could make it way cheaper than the $50.00 or more to buy one, and then you have to adapt it to your machine. I ended up just under $25.00, not including my time & beer.
It will hold up to an 026/372xp size saw.

welding supply places lots of time have those clamps, as they are used on production welding fixtures------

I might be wrong but the metal working ones do not have the rubber on them.


Grizzy has them cheap.

Awesome job. Glad to see someone else has an old Polaris too.

Thanks for the idea with the rubber bumber to keep the saw from sliding down. I have the Kolpin Saw press that I won off of Fleabay. Got it for $25 bucks. They were clearancing them for some reason. It has foam on each side of the "press" but the saw's dawgs chew them up as it slides down. After seeing yours, I am going to weld on a bracket and maybe use something like a hockey puck as a bumper. I like it. Thanks.
