Sugihara owner at last

[wisecobandit]

Always fancied a sugihara bar and whilst looking through Robs site my finger slipped and bought myself one (honest Mrs.Wiseco...)

 

Was a bit of a toss up between a stihl and the sugi (36") but as ive got a couple of new chains that fit the sugi but not the stihl the decision was made.(sugi 104 links stihl 108 links) Plus the sugi looks much nicer....

 

I know they are meant to last well but anyone got any words of wisdom be it good or bad in relation to these bars and there upkeep?

Grease the nose sprocket now and again (at least once a week) - lovely bar to use in that seems to pull out of cuts nicely... nice and stiff yet not too heavy.

What do you use to grease the bar sprocket?

I've never been able to get the little plastic greaser to work. (The one that comes with Husky saws).

I've got the oregon ones and they seem to work well.

Going on an 084 it will probably only get used once a month Rob lol. I will grease it every use then. I don't tend to grease the noses on my shorter bars often so maybe a regime is needed. Bit odd really as I clean the saws after every use but slack when it comes to greasing the noses.

I've had a couple of the solid bars and they are great. Much better than the Oregon bars. Seem alot stronger and don't wear anything like other bars. Strongly recommend.

You'll end up buying sugi's for all your saws , SUPERB bars .
