New 550xp

[David Dobedoe]

I have mine on a 13 inch bar. It's a great little saw and works really well on 13 and 15 inch bars.

All this chat about an 18" bar on a 550 and I was starting to worry i,d wasted my money getting this as a second bar. So had to put the new 18" bar onto the 2 week old 550 just to see if it was a runner. So........it's a match made in heaven. Perfect cutting ability, through, eucalyptus, some ash and a few macrocarpa rings. Full depth, flat out - very impressed.

Good to hear the 18" is working well for you. Looking forwards to trying my Sugihara 18" on some chunky hornbeam.... that'll be a test

Here's the one.

I have a 15" and 18" bar for mine .325 (58) semi chisel. 18" bar is ok, 15" it's impressive, I imagine on 13" its scary!

 

I'm thinking of changing it to a 550xpg to help the hand. Has anybody got any idea what I might get for a slightly over 1 year old 550xp in good order?

I have 18 and 13 for mine and have only used the 13 for 1 day In 18 months. Love it on the 18 and it does just fine, great for cutting bigger timber in the tree too due to the light weight of the saw. Just bought a sugi light type in 18" to replace the original bar

I shall dig out my 18" .325 bar. I've had the 15 on my 550 it cuts like a 357 with a 15. However i love my 13" bar on my 550.

Just put mine through it's second full week of work, now it's run in a bit I just love this saw. It is still on the 15inch bar it came with and it's really zippy. I have cut ash, sycamore, oak, pine and spruce amongst others.

A perfect compliment to my 372.... 395 next mmmm!

Hi,

 

Can I just say that as far as 'saw porn' goes, that floats my boat

 

Thankfully these winter evenings are shortening!
