Bent my one.

 

Sugi bars seem expensive but i've found on my 550 that its lasted 3x as long as the previous 13" bar on it.

I used up a 24" chain on my 372 before fitting a new one I removed the bar to file off the burrs and flip it over but there weren't any burrs ! . Flipped it any ways .

That has to be a winning combo

Hi Rob,

 

Thank you for an informative post, Ive always considered Sugi one of the best bars available & seems an obvious choice when replacement is due.

I'd love to have a shop in the end with rows of gleaming bars in an orderly line.... but think this is sometime away as yet!

rob,whats the difference between the pro bar and the light type pro as they are near the same price ?

[TGB]

The pro is a solid or am I incorrect?

Yep as above post by TGB but there are x3 types of Sugi bars:

 

 

• Laminated super light - tough laminated bars but they are not that light really - not as light as an oregon pro lite or some of the Stihl bars but def feel tougher and should last a lot longer
  

 

• Pro solid - single piece steel bars - I think in terms of stiffness these are the best on the market compared to ALL other bar types (although no tests done to prove!). Using a 46" sugi pro solid on the 880 feels like using a normal chainsaw bar rather than something that flops a bit.
  

 

• Light type bars - these are the pro solid bars - but with areas removed and filled with a tough resin. You do loose a smidge of the stiffness but weight saving is around 20% to 25% depending on bar. They also look the best -not that is matters but it is nice!
  

Vid on the light type bars here

 

 

They don't have to come with an adapter and in fact all the bars I have are made for the correct mount - but the next order will have a lot of multi mount bars running .325 .063 and 3/8 .063.

 

 

This means you can run them on both a Stihl or Husky + you only have to have 3/8 .063 chain if you run both types of saws. The adapter plates are getting better and really are simple to fit and remove (or will be!)

 

 

 

 

 

I did a vid on all the Sugi bars here which is informative if a bit boring!
