Tiny echo!

Of course, now that I've bought the Echo, my t540xp is surplus so if anyone wants it its 2yrs old but was only used as a back up to my MS200t.

It is confusing!

 

Sugihara is one company that makes guidebars in Japan (although their actual factory name is Diatop) and Sugihara is the brand name for their bars.

 

Tsumura is another totally seperate company in Japan that also makes guide bars (their company is called Suehiro Seiko).

 

Both companies have a reputation for making an excellent product.

 

I think that some of the Echo 2510s now do come with 1/4" drive sprocket as standard running a Tsumura small tipped carving bar. Tsumura do not make a sprocket nose bar to run 1/4 .043 chain (nor do they have to tooling to do so at the moment).

 

If newer versions are running a 1/4 .043 sprocket nose bar these will be Sugihara bars - who do make a 1/4 .043 sprocket nose bar but it will not run the Stihl 1/4 .043 chain (it will run Sugihara's own version of the 1/4 .043 chain).

 

Tsumura seem to make the laminated bars on the smaller Echo saws while Sugihara make the larger pro solid bars on the larger Echos.

 

 

Cheers Rob, I'll share the bottle with you

Yes. To send you my t540xp as soon as you've made me an offer!

Lol!

Does all UK saws come standard with the 1/4 sprocket ?..looks like the Stihl bar and chain is clearly the way to go..

 

Any body running with the 12" instead of the 10" as illustrated here.. OFFERS | Product Categories | Sugihara Guide Bars

 

Great thread and site!..found myself here after looking for info on this fab little saw:)..

I think most are 1/4 now but check when you buy it. Runs brill even on the standard bar and chain. Haven't used my t540 since getting mine

[Coletti]

Mine was 1/4 pitch and came with this fancy bar which I believe is a sugihara pro lite carving bar in 1/4 .50 but was swiftly swapped for the stihl gear as it cuts better. Shame as it did look good with it on

[dan494]

That's the tsumura bar I've got on mine

[Stoatally]

Stupid question probably - but with the little stihl bar and chain set up - what file does it need? is it a 3.2mm?
