3/8LP Picco rim sprocket
« on: August 15, 2015, 06:16:49 am »
I've had good gains in cutting speed using Stihl PS chain on 50cc saws. Thought I'd share on a mod that helped on small hub saws. I machined mini hub rims to fit small hub.

There'd be a market for those modified P-7 and P-8 rims if you decide to do a small production run of 'em.  I'd be down for a few.

Stihl picco rims are extremely hard. I can't modify them in a cost effective manner. I did notice Forester manufactures P-7 which I'm sure is softer.

Mill?  Drill press? Hole saw? Rat-tail file? . . . . .

Inquiring minds want to know!

seems to me i bought some of the "mini" spline forester rims once and they were small spline not the mini they were advertised as.

IMO thats a good thing. Already small.
