Anyone know where to get Tsumura bars from in the UK? I've been after them for ages . .

 

I bought mine from the West coast of Canada, haven't found a closer source. If I had been in the UK, I likely would have opted for Sugihara from Rob instead, as it is a very close second to Tsumura according to the very comprehensive testing I have seen (on a couple of US saw forums).

 

The Sugi light pro bars are a bit heavier than the Tsumura L&T bars in lengths over about 20" though, as the cutouts doesn't go as far back on the bars. Below that point te relationship in weight goes a bit back and forth, depending on the exact length in question.

 

The tests I mention had main focus on cutting speeds and temperatures developed at some selected points with new bars, and didn't say anything about longevity (but I believe that it is excellent on both brands).
