Case for a Makita 6421 / Dolmar 6400

[mstoelton]

I have a new rental saw from HD. Looking for a protective case that will fit it.

Is there anything out there? Will the Husqvarna powerbox fit?

I'd be surprised if that box did not. It's pretty darn generic.

If you pick the box up and want to try it out, so long as you have the saw cleaned up, giving it a test fit shouldn't be a problem and you could return if necessary.

I have room in my box for my 555 with with a 20 inch bar, plus the standard carry tools, plus my chaps, prolly room for some other things too if I wanted.

Never used a box like that until this Christmas when one showed up under the tree,,,,, and love the darn thing.

If I recall correctly, the Husqvarna Powerbox (and same box by other names) will fit it only with modifications. The slick ones I saw a few years ago on AS involved a heat gun to reshape the inside a little. I've been wanting to try this for mine, but it just hasn't been a priority.

Must be the body of the saw itself is too long? And the modification needs to happen at the end of the handle? Or does it hit in other places too?

There are a bunch of AS threads on this, but it looks like a lot of them lost links to pictures after the site had a major attack at the end of this past year. The case had to be modded a few places because the saw both too long and too tall.
