Got a 50" cannon on my 3120 . It seems fairly wide compared with other bars in the aspect ratio of length against width if you get me . This would make it more rigid and resist warping I think . Not milled with it though just comes out once in a blue moon for the monster buts .

Nice 1 yeah sat the cannon next to a Stihl bar n it's mega compared to it!!! Been milling with it today some knarly oak n seems its defo a winner!!! Only time will tell tho, I've got a cannon 14" carving bar n that's taken some stick n still a beast so, I'd give a kidney to fell a tree with a 50" bar!!! Sadly tho all our mega trees are all protected n I now work in the utility sector so only get to play with a 36" bar every blue moon :-(

This is my Cannon bar - they get a bit flexible at this length....

 

I didn't fell it (Luke Quenby did) but I do get to cut it up.

I don't like picking it up ! Only ever used it to actually fell once . It was a dead red wood . If I could do every thing with a 346 I would !
