I think it's a 20" (51cm) GB bar of some sort, but I've never heard of a DB mount. They do use a 3 rivet tip similar to a Stihl ES bar. Since all the other GB mounts for Dolmars start with a D it may be a Dolmar mount but I'm no expert on bar mounts for those saws. If you could get a measurement of the bar slot height it would help?

Those rails are pretty spread if they are at 0.070", they should be more at 0.065-7 for 63 gauge.

2" .810 long
.570 high

I was told it is an ES bar. 3003 000 8921
But the tip has 11 teeth.
I don't know if they just put what they had on it or what.
It may have been grooved out.
I'm just not sure what chain to try to run on it.

Are you sure its not like 0.551" (14mm) tall? That sounds like a Dolmar or large Stihl mount.

Dolmar

Large Stihl

You can run 3/8's 63 gauge on it but I would try to pinch the rails first. If you are around my area I could refurbish the bar for you.

0.570" I checked again.
I'm wandering if it's a 3003 000 9421 bar ?

And Thanks for the offer. But i'm in Dallas.

It came with a saw I picked up.
He said it was refurbished.
But I don't believe all of everything I'm told.

This would be a Stihl 3003 mount. 12.3mm tall or 0.484" and the only reference to a 3003 000 9421 Stihl bar I can find is the standard bar on a 460 rescue saw.

Normal Mount Stihl

I have checked everywhere I can find to look.
It's hard to find specs.
I have a few sites, but nothing matches.
I'm kinda hopin I can track down SawTroll, maybe he'll know.
Senin ya a little rep also for your effort.:msp_thumbup:

 

[Wood4brainS]

It also has 1 set of mount holes.

I'm going to hijack this back onto topic. :hmm3grin2orange:

I'll admit to having pretty good luck with cheaper brand ratchets and sockets, as long as you aren't abusing them.

Screwdrivers on the other hand are one area to have good quality. The cheap ones without the hardened tips will wear down and strip out screws.

While we're on the topic of those small impact drivers, do they help prevent bolts from stripping when pulling saws apart?

Hello sawguy. I think Pioneerguy600 ( Jerry) uses them to tear saws apart but not positive,you could ask him.Also maybe parrisW ( Will) Heck I think probably a bunch of fellas do

Snakes in a drain!!!

SNAKES IN A DRAIN!!! (with regards to Samuel L Jackson)

Clogged kitchen main drain this week - still don't know what caused it. A plumber once told me that having a dishwasher helps to keep that drain clean as the dishwashing detergent is caustic, like drain cleaner.

4 snakes and 2 gallons of nasty stuff to open it. The snakes in the plastic containers are easier to turn than the free coiled ones. Get the 25 foot one, the 15 footer may not be long enough. The line was too small and hard to reach to use one of those large, rental units. Had to use the smaller diameter coiled ones ($30 Rigid at the HD). Didn't use one of the drill-operated ones, as it looked like I might need 3 hands to run it.

My advice: 1) lint filters on the laundry tub - I use the 'permanent' ones, not the mesh ones that clog up; 2) more stuff in the trash, less stuff down the disposer; 3) I'm going to start using those pre-treat chemicals periodically, before I have to do this again

Eraser

One of those 'so-simple-it-makes-your-head-hurt' things..

Keeping a big, rubber eraser in the shop to erase pencil marks on wood. Works so much better than trying to sand them off.

(Duh!)

But one of those tips that I have to re-learn every now and then . . .

lol, I didn't know that... :bang:

Anyhow, if you folks wish to see a few new tools, I'll post them...

Oh, wait, this is the tool thread, right?


Here ya go... picked them up to help me with a saw project... and to help with future projects that may need such tools...

Oh, almost forgot to mention... I brought a bunch of crap (good crap, mind you...) home from work today. Got me four 240V ventilation blowers (pretty big ones... I figure they actually might be able to move more air than a furnace blower!) Also got me a huge electric motor... probably around 5 or so hp... cast iron shell, and it works!! Hmm... just might power my next contraption with that. (what should I build?)

Loaded that stuff and a bunch of scrap/useful crap and a quartz-feldspar-mica quality control slab. (check flatness of parts by laying them on there, if they rock, they ain't flat) Also got a crap ton of boat stones. (look kinda like a boat... used for sharpening stuff)

I'll sell you a boat stone for 3 bucks a pop. They're about 8" long by 1-2" thick (tapers from small to big in the middle to small) by 2-3.5" wide (tapers from small to big in the middle to small)

Will post pics of that stuff later. I just got finished unloading all of that crap a little while ago. Have yet to test the blowers. I hope at least one of them works (preferably the one with the Baldor motor...)


Hope you guys find some goodies soon too!! Those that don't like tools are simply insane...

Promac, I have one of those mini die grinders, its like a dentist drill when you spin her up to 100k RPMs. I had to get an inline regulator for the hose though, because my compressors are at 175 PSI. I learned the hard way they don't like more than 125. It works awesome.

Too late... I've got quite a few more tools than most... including my dad!! I got tools from my grandpas, and some from my neighbor as well. Lots of older goodies, too.

Thanks for the info, mine said in the instructions (gasp, I read them...) to regulate the pressure to 90 psi... so I set the regulator to that.

What happened when you put more than the recommended air through it? It didn't blow apart, did it? Or run the bearings dry and seize up?

 

[nick 55]

The hose blew apart. Nothing too terrible, but that little hose whipping around will really leave a mark if it cracks you in the hand.

Promac 610

Great tool finds Promac! I was thinking of getting one of those little die grinders.I have one of those flexshafts that run off a drill or elctric motor with a chuck on the arbor,but it's so slow.The flex shaft is not rated for all that high a speed.What is that a collet chuck on the end of the grinder ? What size would that be? I would like to see a picture of the boat stones when you get a chance.
Thanks

Yeah, those flexshafts do not impress me. The one that came with my Dremel broke in short order, and all I was doing was running the little tiny drum sander...

It uses your standard 1/8" collet, just like the Dremel. I find this setup on the mini die grinder a lot easier to change bits.

I will have to get a pic up tonight of the boat stones... I've got enough to last me thirty lifetimes... these things don't wear out all that fast.

I had a Husky (The Home Depot brand, not Husqvarna) one that I promptly returned. Had a lot of speed, but little torque. Also, was very efficient at spraying oil all over the place. I hope that your expereince is better!
