Will this work with longer than a 20 inch bar? I have a stihl 046 with a 24 inch bar I would like to use. Thank you

This unit if for up to a 20 inch bar any longer and it will stick on from the guide. However since I had to move the unit several inches away from my motor in order to work with the saw you might be able to get away with a 24 inch bar. They do make some larger units you might want to look into. The unit has worked well for me I have made a large supply of ceder boards for me to play with this winter. Be sure to get a rip chain for your saw.

Yes; HOWEVER, the mill is only about 21" long, so you will have a 2"-3" of your bar with the exposed chain opposite of where you are cutting. You'd have to make certain that no one else was in the area to get cut by the saw. It's a really neat device, but the two most difficult things to deal with are making sure you get a level cut and keeping the mill fastened tightly enough to the saw bar without crimping the chain well. I see where someone mentioned getting the ripping chain for your saw - that's probably the best advice you can get, otherwise, you'll work yourself to death.

Only if the guage size is the same. My saw came with the mini guage chain. This bar is for the larger full sized guage. Check a Stihl chart for that info. I would suggest you upgrade to the larger chain for better performance. There is a YouTube video specific to this issue.

I used it for a 16 inch Stihl- I would get the specs on which Husqvarna you are looking at since blade length and base/motor size varies- then compare it to the dimensions of the case

I can not give an exact answer but I can say that the mounting bar that attaches to the front of the blower is 24" wide and on my 24" craftsman I have 18" between "handle bars" (the area that the mounting bar is attached) with 3/4" play room on either side. So as long as the span between the handle bars is 20" or less it should fit. Wish I could send a pic but I hope this helps.

I do not know the specs on the bar, but I use the chain on two saws from different manufacturers-----so I suspect that it will work.

My guess is no if your saw is large. Sorry I am not sure the size of your saw. We were hoping it would fit our larger Echo 24" CS6700 the handle on the saw was a little too high and it would not close, it lacked 2" closing and the bar cover was too short. We did however get our smaller Stihl Miniboss 16" MS180C to fit. We are happy with the case. We are still looking for a case for the bigger saw. They must be hard to find.

I own a husqvarna 460 with a 24 inch bar. After mounting the chainsaw mill I get about a 17 inch width that I can cut.

I used my Stihl saw (49cc) with a 20" bar to cut an 18" diameter walnut log. It works but is slow going. The logs were 8' long and each cut took 5-10 minutes with the saw running wide open, which used nearly a tankful of gas. The mill works but if I had more than a couple of logs, I would take them to a sawmill.

this is my first 24 inch saw as well, I went from an 18 to this. It has been a great saw. I probably ran it for a good 15 hours this year after buying it with out any problems. My friend has a 24 in stihl and preferred using the husky. It handled great!!!

Boy, you guys need to learn what diameter means. It'll probably work but it will take a lot of work. Also, good luck getting a 24" diameter log on it and keeping it there. I would say it would work but this was not designed for it.

If it fits correctly it is an easy operation, make sure it is compatible with your trimmer. It said it was for my Stihl but something must have been lost in translation so I had to modify it to make it work. After the mod it works great for what it is designed.

Yes it will fit. I bought this for my husband and he also has a Stihl chainsaw 25" and there is plenty of room for a bigger blade as well. My hubby loves it and it is very roughed. He can fit his bar and chain oil and sharpener in it as well. Nice product for the $.

Works great with the 24"---that is why I bought it. HIGHLY recommend this chainsaw!!!

We used a Husqvarna (farm hand) chainsaw with a 24" bar. We did not have a lot of lumber to cut. That would be the smallest size chain saw that works for small jobs. I suspect 'small' saw would perform better with a rip chain. I was a fun project.

I have the 460 with 24" bar and have had no problems. The saw is certainly powerful enough to handle the 24" bar however unless you need the extra length you might want to get a shorter bar just to minimize the overall saw weight.

that is what I am using...and also on my Stihl..sorry I didn't give you exact size.

The base of the saw is 26"x16" (wide by deep) and therefore would hangover - would not recommend. Also, the base is not solid, only three inches on each end are are solid where the base rests. Finally the saw itself is approximately 32" deep. Again, I think it would be unstable to put on a 24" cart.
