Russ from MN 01-27-2013 10:00:08 68.235.89.10 Report to Moderator	I have a Jonsered 621 and today I planned to buy a new bar & chain for it. L&M has a 20% off sale for 3 days, could of gotten one for $40, if it fit! They would of had to order the correct bar, so no sale price. They told me that the holes for the chain tensioning pin was different. Has anyone ever tried drilling a bar? I have a good drill press and some good drills. Thanks in advance. [Reply]   [No Email]

Why not just get the correct oregon bar and be done of it. If you change the position of the adjustment hole then basically you're extending the bar out beyond it's normal range... then you need an oddball chain with an extra driver... I think I know exactly what bar you have too.... my firewood processor uses one like that. That particular bar saves me from buying a longer chain that I'd have needed to use a more standard stihl bar... Rod [Reply]  [No Email]

Baileys makes and adapter to use Stihl bars on Husky/Jonsereds saws. Yes, they are fairly easy to drill, tough steel but not real hard. [Reply]  [No Email]

The oil feed to the bar will be in a different spot when bolted to the saw. Check the dimentions before you driil the bar. I have drilled bars when the chain was still good but too loose to get tighten. Guido [Reply]  [No Email]
