    Narrowing bar groove

    I found my cheap bar exactly what I was looking for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281962884759?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true The bar I mentioned from the start, and being the first one I ever used plus being cheap and laminated it did last 5-10 cords and went bad long before the...

    Narrowing bar groove

    I was just curious about the carbon fiber bars, I couldn't afford one anyway, but I thought someone has had to have made something lighter when you get into long bars. And I have a feeling it could be cheaper to make such a bar than most would think if you used pultruded then milled CF for the...

    Narrowing bar groove

    I've been annoyed with bars that have the tip cut crooked. My dad's 28" will cut straight on small stuff but when cutting 20" or more diameter the tip sometimes starts curving, then the bar gets kind of pinched when I move the saw down. I think it is a pretty new bar, or was when this happened...

    One more quick question, where are the carbonfiber bars? A sugihara style carbon core steel rail bar could be superlight, and I know they could be affordable with china making the carbon cores if the retailer wasn't super greedy. The carbon could be laminated in a thin layer of metal or...

    Narrowing bar groove

    I'll tell my boss that. We hit metal 5 times with 2 saws in that log in a few minutes and had to keep resharpening. Finally he just cut until he got through one of the nails.

    So Stihl bars fit Husqvarna?

    Narrowing bar groove

    Yea I know, I didn't find the bend until now. I would consider a forester bar, but I'm a bit concerned about the quality issues I hear of. I doubt they could be worse than some of the other straight from china bars I've had.

    Narrowing bar groove

    Maybe hammering would work better than squeezing? My groove seems to be just simply too wide vs worn in a v shape. I just found the bar is very slightly bent too. I know I checked for that not long before I quit using the bar, but never noticed anything. I couldn't figure out why it would cut so...

    Narrowing bar groove

    How much difference is there in cutting performance with a high angle vs low angle? I tend to use 25 or 30 degrees, my dad always tells me to use a file guide, but somehow he ends up with about 45 degrees literally. I know cutting at a 45 degree angle to the wood grain goes pretty slow with a...

    Narrowing bar groove

    Well as I said I squeezed the rails very close together in a vise and they sprung back to their original spacing. It is a junk bar anyway, so I might see what happens when I squeeze them together completely and how far they spring back if they don't break.

    Narrowing bar groove

    I would use the same cheap chain with it, so it could go dull after a couple cuts and cut too crooked especially with that wide of groove. I'm just hoping I don't come across another tree like I had a month ago, luckily it was not my saw I was using. I cut the bottom of the log and hit a big...

    Narrowing bar groove

    I was afraid the deeper part would still be too wide, but it would at least help. It was the first bar I ever used, cheap from china. I think the last time I used it I was burning it up in a hedgeapple stump with a cheap chain, and I've learned dull chains tend to cut crooked wearing out the...

    Narrowing bar groove

    I have a worn out .063 bar that I want to get working again to use for trees filled with nails to save my new 32" total bar and super rs chain. Why buy a new cheap bar if you can fix a worn out one? The chain for it is still about .063, the bar nose is .076 and the middle of the bar is as wide...
