No it looks like the one in post #55, even though zooming in on that bar there doesn't appear to be a plugged hole near the tip. It has a replaceable tip, but the hole in question isn't the one that holds the rivet for the replaceable tip.

It looks like it. Btw, I noticed the plugs are missing on my 201 bars but those holes don't fill up with saw chips, they don't cause any issues. Go figure.

I'll send it to ya then have it as a keepsake!

Yes but you would probably notice if something was off with one of the activities you do on the reg... Welding, uh brazing would be a good idea. If I welded...

Husky bar came with the saw, 576. 24", .050, made in Canada, RSN B. Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up, Cut4

If epoxy fails I'll probably get the plugs from cut4fun, or just chuck the bar. Thanks.

They're packed in enough that they have to brushed out with a finger or similar. It doesn't stop the bar but it impedes it, makes it feel like the saw got dull cuz it isn't proceeding fast in the cut. Cut everything but mostly cut hardwood. Its chips more than dust.

The hole gets filled with chips and the chip accumulation becomes wider than the thickness of the bar which causes binding. The bar in question has low wear/good rails. The chain cuts fast and straight.

Cut4fun, that is me to a tee. Thanks for the info and the availability of replacement plugs. I filed the hole with epoxy a couple of days ago, we will see how it does and if it lasts.

Makes sense. MB, :thumbup:

Danks!

But how do I get that image straight up in the post, so you don't have to click on the highlighted text, you would just see a picture of a saw bar?

Ive never done that, good info, thanks!

Rails are good, bar has little wear. Its the hole I tell ya.

Thank you for all the replies and input. Sean's picture of the windsor bar nailed it, the hole (filled) is shown there. When I'm cutting anything with some width to it, say 16" and up (using the 24" bar), the hole fills with saw chips and it binds the bar somewhat in the kerf. As soon as the...

Wish I had a pic, I think they are on most every bar. Btw, it is near the tip, like in the tip 1/4 or the bar, but its not in the tip.

You know that little circlular cut-out toward the tip of most larger bars (say 20" or larger) which still has the circle of metal within the cut-out, and it usually stays stuck in place where it belongs for the life of the bar but once in awhile you get a bar and that little circle of metal...
