Since bar prices seem to be going through the roof :o here lately. Maybe this place has a good idea.
Repair your old bar. Also sales new bow bars.

In the 70's used to take my bars to a place in Eugene Oregon that worked on deck saws for sawmills (huge things). They could hammer your rails, weld rails, regrove and straighten your bar (not that I ever bent a bar oops). They would even shorten bars build new mount slots and weld on new roller nose or sproket ends. A reworked bar was not as good as new but close. They didn't charge much, course that was the 70's.

IF you can find one of these around your area,they do a good job.
-
Who makes it? And what is it called. I think I could use some thing like that. Might have to get a hold of one.
-
Some guy local that runs a sharpening business on the side in Shelby and has a bar recondition tool too. I have no clue what they are called but (words bar shop come to mind).
I had him once for a bar and he did a nice job.
-
It is a Barshop, I have not seen one in a long time. Did a lot of hard nose bars on it, refaced the tips then hammered and squared the rails, but with roller nose bars the machine has pretty much disappeared.

Thanks I will have to keep my eyes open and do some homework.

This is what I found. They don't say much on there webpage. I tried to call but they where closed. I will try again on Monday and see what I can find out.

that is where i bought my barshop. i was told by the guy in the photo at the time i bought my grinder that i've got no 3 machine in n.h.
i already had no 2 !
i was hunting for a nut for the arbor on my machine, with no luck. even after giving the man the serial number of my machine.that's when i learned now many were in my area. all the saftey guards had been removed and the hammer was gone too from my machine i had got locally. so i thought i might as well buy a new one as they are a great grinder and worth every penny.
the guy who sold me mine,after looking up original customer say's to me....."you know where center conway chainsaw is ?" ;D
i bought it from little ole'lady in glen,n.h. 14 miles from me.
the guy who was running "center conway chainsaw" was a Mc dealer. he now runs husqvarna's... ;)

I built my own bar groove grinder and I do bar repair once in a while.

Per JJ
The Barshop machine was made by Specialty Motors inc, in Longview, WA. The company is still in business and still supplies replacement parts for the Barshop machine. I do not know if they are still producing the machine itself.

DC info
I bought one in 1994. Paid $1800 for it and still use it all the time. Mostly the drum sander on aluminum, but can reshape, build, grind, groove and pound bars. I don't think they make the Barshop anymore, but they do sell grooving disks and grinding stones. GREAT TOOL!

Yes I will try and call them tomorrow,thanks.
-
I called them, they said the stoped making them a few years ago. All they sell now are the grinding wheels. The lady I talked to said to keep an eye out for them at auctions. Most people don't know what they are and you can get them pretty cheap. She also said they where sold all over the country, so who knows maybe there is one close to me.
-
She also told me of a stihl dealer in Ohio. That has a barshop that does a lot of bars. If you guys would like there info and some of there pricing let me know.
-
There is a guy just north of me in Shelby Ohio that does bars too. 20mins
-
Has he done bars for you? No one down my way does bar repair. I have a grinder and closer, but hoping they can do more, than what I can do.
-
I had one done back in 07 08 and havent needed anything since. He did good work for me.
-
Can you get me his info if you don't mind.
