Sugihara bars

[Buzzsurgeon]

Will you be getting a 13" bar on 325, there will be a lot of pro cutters on this size?

Sorry only just seen your post Buzz...

 

Yes I could do if you think worth it.

 

I think I'll just be getting the pro solid bars in as I now have to get a fair few bars in each mount to make an order.... I'll see if they do a 13" bar - is this for saws such as 246 etc?

Yep, 346/550/242 etc - don't know if you'll sell huge amounts but most of us in the woods run 13" .325 on smaller huskies.

 

Oregon really seem to have gone down hill at the mo so I know I'd be interested in 13" too.

I've put the question to them to see if they will do a 13" solid bar with replaceable sprocket for a Husky mount.

 

 

Will let you know what they say. They are a good company to deal with in that they are willing to produce bars outside their usual remit...

 

For instance they are producing a 14" bar for an MS200T in the lightweight version of a solid bar with replaceable nose sprocket.

I too would be interested in a 13" bar .325 for husky 346/357.

Hopefully my bars will arrive from Jonsies on Monday, got a 13" and 16" to try on the huskies, I also would be really keen on a 13" solid bar as I was after a powermatch plus but these seem to be like rocking horse muck.

I can't see 13" .325 bars for huskies on jonsies website Charlie. 15 seem to be the shortest or am i blind.

hmmmm oh well, I rang up and ordered a 13 and 16" powermatches and Justin rang back saying they didnt have the oregons what about the Sugi's so i said yes i would try them, i assumed I would still be getting the same sized bars? maybe not then

Hi Charlie

 

I've had to send the ones you originally asked for, I had them over nighted from Oregon. I thought I had all the Sugihara bars in. As soon as I get the next delivery in I'll get one up to you to test.

[Rob D]

The next order will have all the Sugi bars in as the pro solid versions.... from 13" up to 20".

 

And they have confirmed they can manufacture the 13" one for 346s etc.... with replaceable .325 nose sprocket.

 

It does take a while for the order to get made and come through but Jonsie will be getting a good share of them when they get here.

 

 

There will also be a special 14" solid bar for the MS200T - this will be the 'light' version that Sugi make and will have a replaceable nose.

 

The light versions that Sugi do are pretty unique as they take a solid bar, take out several sections and then fill with a resin. So you still get the stiffness and light weight without sacrificing much longevity.

 

But over here where we're not cutting regularly with a 36" bar in woods the lightness is not that necessary in the longer bars and with shorter bars the weight difference is minimal.

 

Hence it'll only be the 14" bar for MS200 etc that'll be in the light weight version.

 

 

 

The below is an example of a lighter weight carving bar
