Guide bar

[deri]

I have a Parker chainsaw 20" bar.

When I put the alaskan mill on it clamps the bar too tightly and the blade does not run very well. Can I get a better quality bar to fit the saw.

I also have an old partner 550 which could do with a new bar.

If a " Parker " is a Chinese saw , as I suspect it is , the bar is probably softish . Maybe a better quality bar would be the answer . Its determining the type of mount . Best take the bar in to your dealer and see if there is an Oregon equivalent .

I use a similar saw on the 24" mill with an Oregon bar, the clamps must be correctly sited especially at the nose where the sprocket sits, I also noted the clamps do not have to be super tight to grip the bar safely.

It's a Chinese eBay special😀

Good enough for my needs at present time until I invest in better.

The bar is soft in comparison to the other saw I have.

Thanks for the input👍

Have a look at the Chilling or Chinese milling thread:thumbup:

Thanks Lazurus I had a look.

Looks like you have the same chilling setup as I have.

Where did you get your bar from?

I paid a little extra (£10) when I got the saw for the Oregon bar and chain. Contact RobD on here for all things bar and chain he is a star!

My money would be on a husky small mount fitting.

Fairly sure D009 fits our 365 - large mount.

K095 bar fits both my Chinese saw and my 450 husky.

Worth comparing before you buy though
