    Anyone know if they make a 28" -32" narrow kerf bar for using on a mill set-up? Seems to me it'd be much faster cut and less wasted kerf. Just curious if anyone has any info in regards to this question. If they don't make one, I may make my own out of two 16" Picco bars.........

    I think people were using the cannon super minis for this purpose?

    What's the power head? .043 is pretty fragile stuff to be running on 50/60cc and up power heads.

    According to Canon's website, the Super Minis are only available in .050 (picco) and .058, in 18" and 20" lengths. They'll make a custom bar for you, but I have a feeling that would get pricey.

    I've been toying with the idea of a Picco setup for the Alaskan mill I just bought, but getting an LP drive sprocket for my 044 is also looking like a custom job.

    Ah, I know there's a Picco sprocket for the 066; that would probably fit. Go figure.

    This might keep you busy for a bit: Getting serious about lo-pro
