picked this up to day 16in and it has partner on it what saws did partner make that came with roller tip bars and does any one no the maker for them thanks lee
 
Three years ago we almost had Windsor convinced to make replaceable tips with rollers instead of sprockets, deal fell though somehow.
How about those Ventmaster roller nose bars? Anybody know how they work? I'v been told if you file them down some, they work just like an old style roller?
 
Cancel the Vent Master, it has a roller but it works more like a sprocket with no teeth, the roller is flat and the sides of the bar guide the chain.
 
This is David Bolstad from NZ with his 360 Rotax and a nice looking roller nose belly bar. Unfortunately David passed away 2 weeks ago at a woodchop in NZ. A great loss for those who knew him. When in the states and on the West Coast David always stopped and stayed. We had many good times and spent many hours sawing, filing, talking, biking, and drinking a 'few" mic ultra's and rums at night. I think we both learned alot, I know I sure did. For those who don't know, David was a World Champion axemen and holds many World records, including the 20" Hotsaw World record. He also won the Stihl Timbersport Series many times and the World STS. He was also an avid pig hunter and when we went to NZ and stayed at his place, he took Aaron and I pig hunting. He hunted with dogs and made his kills with a knife. I could go on and on, but I saw this picture today and it brought back some good memories. RIP David!

The cookie boneyard after David and Shane Jordan left for Oregon and the STS 2 years ago. BTW, David was sponsored by Bailey's and Lucas Mill, and also was a Champion at sawmilling with the Lucas Mill in competition. David stored his equipment at the Bailey's warehouse about 90 miles down the road from me in Woodland, Ca. and on this trip they went back to Bailey's to pick up some equipment shipped to Bailey's.......and when they pullback in, they had brought back Nick Bailey with them for a good visit.

Dennis, that is unbelievable news about David Bolstad. I always enjoyed watching him chop in the STS.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

Godspeed, David
