sugihara bars v husqvarna bars

[forest tink]

Most Husky RSN bars are Oregon Power Match - decent bars, but nowhere close to SugiHara or Tsumura (or Cannon).

 

are the cheaper sugi bars hard wearing if that makes sense,im sure I seen somewhere they do a laminated version now ?

I'll second what Rover said above...

 

The Sugi laminated bars are supposed to be very tough, just not quite as pretty and light as the posh ones!

I would avoid the laminated sugi bar mine cracked and splintered off at the rails after 6 months use on my old 201

I think if you've got a husky a sugi or a Oragen bar is essental if you've got a stihl stick with stihl bars

Only just noticed what I'd done, sorry.

 

I'll ask a mod to mod.

Have the cheapest Sugihara on my 346XP. No problems to date.

Much harder wearing than the Husky bar.

The only Sugihara bars I know anything about is the pro grade Sugihara Lights. I can't comment on the others.

Fair enough, any ideas what? we have only ever had this issue with husky bars, found it fails quicker with out grease. We have six hardworking 560s and they all seem to do it. Our dealer says that's just the way it is with hard working fast saw but we've not tried any other makes, so possibly we r doing something wrong?

 

Hard to say without being there, but I'd start with checking that the bars are getting enough oil, make sure the tips are kept out of the dirt, and make sure excessive pressure isn't exerted on the tips.

 

I've never had a single bar sprocket failure with either Oregon Pro-Lite or Husky made laminated bars - but then I am not a pro user.

A few years ago I had a couple of 15" Husky laminated bars let go at the nose . One theory was too much grease attracting the crud . Since then I have stopped greasing . No more failures . Every saw I have now is set up with Sugi pro lite bars now though . Superb bits of kit . very hard wearing .

+1 on that ,which ever 1 of the 3 you can buy for the least amount of cash, I think you will be pleased with.my personal choice would be "Sugi" but all 3 are top notch, compared to the " Husky"( rebadged Oregon) We use Sugi"s on all our work saws which are used in a Pro logging environment.Although the cost is higher the wear rate + reliability makes them a better bang for the buck than any others.
