Chainsaw Repair

Im abit slow ok but this is what I did , I turned down a piece of alum. in a 3 jaw chuck , spun alum down so the its tight to bore size of jug, , with jug mounted on alum using the bore to be centered I then drilled the 4 holes that once threaded will hold the cylinder to the alum. so if you want to cut the squish band you can, its not perfect but it has you very close to center to start with

Never thought of doing it that way.

 

wrong post....sorry

Might be tight between centers but the swing is fine. Be a good piece of old iron.

The Hardinge is probably  the better of the two as far as accuracy .It,the  English CVA and USA  Monarch 10" EE are highly sought after toolmakers lathes .18" between centers is fine for chainsaw work but a little short for many other tasks .FWIW the CVA is almost a carbon copy of the Monarch .Both I think are 20" between centers ,the Monarch will swing 12.5"

A suggestion ,if you are unsure of what you are buying take a knowledgeable person with you and make certain you see it run under power before you buy it .No power,the price really drops .

That is nice. Would be about perfect
