How are your Sugihara bars holding up?

All mine are going strong 36 661 12 inch 201t an 12inch 540 should treat the other saws really

Is this a common occurrence with Sugi bars? Cut about 12 cube with it on the tajfun processor, obviously the chain runs faster than most saws so it'll get hotter but didn't expect to see it on a higher quality bar?

I am running rotatech chain on it so it could be that but at half the price of Oregon, it's hard to not see the benefit (unless it's wrecking my bars of course)

Rotatech wont have helped it, had this on the 1st rotatech chain i tried on an oregon bar, chain oiler on max as well. I ditched the rest of the R chains as soon as and went back to Stihl and Oregon chains no problems since.

Might go back to Oregon multicut for the processor in that case.

Yes ditched the rotatech chain after we went through around 10 bars wearing on one side we were constantly dressing them so went back to oregon chain

They certainly don't seem to be made to the same exacting tolerances of other well known chains. The links feel stiff even just in a loop to me, can't complain at the way they cut though.

We were going through bars quicker than chain

Out of 5 Sugihara bars purchased 2 years ago, 4 are still going strong. The nose sprocket on one 12" bar disintegrated but apart from that we've been happy with them. [emoji106]

I have an 18" that's 2 years old going fine and two 15's nearly a year old fine aswell.

 

Not had to dress them which is great but always grease the nose

Have a laminated on the 241cm. It outlasted a Husqvarna laminated(by a huge amount) and a Stihl laminated. I like it so much I got one for my 044.
