When you have the bar in the vice to close the gap, I would put a piece of wood (a 2x4 cut to fit), under the bar, so it can't get pounded down any further. I think hammering on the bar on the anvil part is what caused the big chip.
By placing the bar rails on the vice.......you were inadvertently smashing the opposite down side.... I put the chain in the rail. and squeeze the rails with the vice.... it closes them right up to 50 gauge.
That Saw Shop would benefit having an adjustable depth limiter. Then you grind till no more sparks and will have a perfectly even depth groove. Would require less skill to do a good job.
Nice video! I looked for a video on replacing shoes on a Homelite 540 & 8800 saw and found none? The saws been around 20+ yrs. maybe the shoes don't ware out!
Watching you hammer your bar in the vice....I have a solution. You need a thick bar of brass, maybe 1 to 2 inch squared, heaver the better. Cut a grove for the bar to sit in. Set the brass bar on something bigger and hard like a concrete floor or a heavy length of steel, say 2 X 3. The brass will dent instead of the bar steel.
Hi, I was wondering if you had any advice fixing a Homelite C7 what I really need help with is I need to know what type of spark plug to get and what type of magnetron
Nice work again Leon!

Great video I like those bar Great information on the bars and repair advice I will keep in touch about more products and a chainsaw
Another enjoyable video!
I think the 196-D5 had that pin pattern to use on early 350 and 360 saws that the adjuster pin was a small rectangle

That roller tool to bring the groove together should be simple to make and improve. Does no one do so?
