Is there any reason this kit wouldn't work on a Stihl chain/bar. I like the design and as long as the pitch is correct it seems like it should work.

It should work fine, like you said as long at it's the same pitch, works great on my Husky. It doesn't sit on the bar so you should be OK
1579566
Yes i believe you are correct, with the same pitch and same size chain, it should work.
1579567
Yes I don't see why it wouldn't work. 3/8 chain is 3/8 chain. I personally have a husq. But I would be willing to take this little risk

It works fine. I have a Stihl 390 and I particularly like the jig. Like you said, "as long as the pitch is correct".

well the 180 stihl is a bit small i use a 73cc husquavarna it cutts well but i dont want to get into production speed because its not realy for cutting a lot of board feet more for personal wood working but i also have a granberg mini mill for beams and i just use a husky 55 rancher 54cc equivalent to a stilh farm boss and with a RIPPING chain works fine a 32cc saw i dont think you are going to have the tork to power through but you want to let the saw do the work so your cuts are nice and true ripping chain wise i am not sure they have one in a .325 size chain but dont quote me grandbergs web site could tell you they sell ripping chain if you do get the 777 its very simple to assemble keep all the nuts loose till you get it all squared up and lock them all down tite. one more thing when cutting soft woods cedar and pine cutting speeds are much faster in like 3 hrs i cut 12-14 2ftwide by 9 long cedar logs into 1.25in thick boards just keep your teeth sharp and no problem

The 1st order I placed was for the Oregon 541221 and that was the wrong one. After talking to Amazon service rep, she sent me Oregon 541655 and this was the right one. Make sure you check your sprocket teeth on your saw (ms290) and be sure it uses the low profile 3/8" pitch with .050"guage. Your owners book should tell you that info. My saw is the stihl 010 16" bar. It's an old one. This Oregon works very good on this saw. I also own a Stihl farm Boss 18" but would not put a Oregon on this one. I have a spare chain and sharpen the chain with the correct file I got from the Stihl dealer. Another suggestion-check with Oregon Company for the correct bar and chain kit for your saw. Hope this helps. The 1st order I placed was for the Oregon 541221 and that was the wrong one. After talking to Amazon service rep, she sent me Oregon 541655 and this was the right one.

The simple answer is it depends on the size of timber you're planning on cutting but in general you're going to want a 70cc or greater professional grade saw for this size mill. I'm in the Stihl camp for saws but only because I know them inside and out. I won't tell you to buy Stihl over Husqvarna but I will say you can't go wrong either way with the pro series. As for specifically what saws to get for this, on the Stihl side you're looking at the MS440 or MS441 as the smallest saw I would run with it. I personally use a Stihl MS461 with no problems running a 28" bar with Stihl chain ground to 10 degrees for ripping. I would however recommend that if you are new to using a chainsaw you seek out a professional to teach you how to use this size saw as they can kill you very quickly if not handled properly. The professional saws do not have the kickback reducing chains or bars and the protective chaps you can buy (and should always wear) will not necessarily stop the saw if the throttle is pegged. Otherwise good luck with all of your projects, you'll love the mill if you choose to get it! Hope that helps.

I put this on a Stihl Kombi and it worked great. The kit I received had several adapters to fit various trimmers. Well designed for universal applications.

Yep, turned out whoever assembled my saw put the chain on backwards! Now that I've fixed it the saw works very well. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage running the motor for so long.

Yes. The pins are decent but the body is a bit fragile for a Stihl product. Best if used on end grains whenever possible. I only need to get 'close' on the moisture so if you're a furniture maker you might need a little better technology. This one works for me while milling logs. Dave

All my saws are Stihl and while different lengths which is no mind, have the same pitch which is the controlling number. So mine are all 3/8 pitch and that is the size grind wheel i use. Given where the cut of the chain is on the outside and in the cut curl i imagine you could pretty reasonably muddle through a wider pitch chain if you were consistent in your sharpening attack.

I have used this 3/8" chain with 72 teeth on my 20" bar for a number of years with no problems at all. The Stihl packaging clearly states it is for a 20" bar with 72 teeth sections. Not sure where the 81 teeth requirement comes from...unless it is for a different 20" model saw than I have.

Beats me. The whole thing is junk as far as I am concerned. Take a look at a Stihl, you will be much happier.

I had no problem fitting my Stihl, but I am now running it with two lines instead of four to get the line speed up, and I am cutting my replacement lines an inch longer. For me two longer lines are better than four short ones.

I don't know. I have a Big Boyz Toyz saw and had to adapt because I changed the bar from 10" to 8". They could not help so I searched the net until I located a bar which resembled the original. It works OK for me as I drilled an extra hole to enable me to adjust the slack as the bar is only about 2" in width. I would suggest there are other factors to take into account. I suspect the drive sprocket on my saw is purpose made and could be slightly smaller in diameter than standard. For me it was an experiment that has worked. When the chain stretches, as they do, I will need to get it shortened by one link. Hope this helps with your choice.

You need to do some research on you Stihl M351 and see if it is a roller combination? If so sprocket at engine may need to be changed? Also, need to know bar length? Oregon bar and chain is the way to go. You just need to contact Oregon with your model number and year to get the right set up. Hope I helped! Dan

Not trying to dodge this... I just don't know. I had the same problem and I went to their website:http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=OCS&SellReg;=USA&Lang;Id=ENG and looked up my chain saw. They have the parts color coded to the size of the replacement kit you need. Check it out.

Go to Stihl.com and you'll be able to find their chart that shows what works with what model. I use the FS40 and yes, this did work - but I had referred to Stihl's chart before making a purchase

The castings for all common cast iron 14" bandsaws are from the same molds. Each manufacturer drills and machines to their own specifications. That means that unless JET manufactures this saw for Central Machinery, this kit can probably be MADE to work, but will probably require some adapting. To adapt to my Porter Cable, I had to redrill the alignment pin holes on the riser casting, sand down the blade guide post, and modify a couple of other sheet metal parts that did not have holes in exactly the right place. I made it work, but it was not trivial.
