Incidentally - I am selling on this bar for a good price... I'd say it's halfway through it's life... Come with a new oregon 73lpx full chisel chain... Bargain at £48-00+vat for both bar and chain! (new bar alone is £84-00+vat usually). Products for the category: Special Offers

Interesting about the flex - I'm putting one of the 28" light types on my 395 myself today for some pics... the bar on there is on it's third chain now and yep it's done some work..... it's the first few scratches that hurt the most.

Ed - of you want a full roll of chain send me a PM on which and I will do a better price... I have to charge more for per reel prices on the website in case people order 12 feet or strange numbers... So pick your chain and let me know...

I know and have pestered them - but they are adamant the largest bar they can make is 46"... I will ask again though as hopefully if there is enough demand they may look to do some in the future - I think the Sugi bars would be stiffer than the Cannon...

Yep - well I'm thinking if I get the spacers then one of the existing 36" bars I have will then fit fine... all that may need doing is the oiler hole re drilling.

Yep I think I will also get the 15" and 18" with a 3/8" nose in the light type as quite a few prefer running 3/8" chain on that saw.

It's easy to slag ebay off with horror stories of this and that... but it is the best online selling platform on the internet IMO. The search features are superb - easy to pin point what you are after out of hundreds of thousands of items. Most of the things I sell on ebay are for 10% more than I sell off my website for - and people still buy plenty off ebay! This to me shows they must be doing something right. It's not perfect and like anything the more you use it the chances are you will have a deal that turns sour (most recent for me a 14" sugi light type bar for MS200T - that was the title - sent to the US at a cost of £50-00 returned because it wasn't the part he wanted! - so I then have to refund the initial sale price and the postage!). But that could happen from a sale off the website. Ref OP and chainsaws - I would always look to sell on ebay and buy brand new from a dealer simply because well known chainsaws always sell for good money on ebay...

I may get a few t shirts and posters done - there will be three ads in the series... all... er... worth studying!

It's just a case of looking after yourself that does it

Yes I'll get some 16" light types for the Netherlands - no prob to post there but it does cost a bit...

Oh - and here's a taster of some of the new advertising that you'll be seeing in the very near future!

Yes for Stihl they do... but I'll get some of the 18" 3/8" light types for the 441 and 461.... also maybe 16" light type for MS261... Ref Stihl the only thing is that it seems like less people are using Stihl these days... or perhaps they prefer Stihl bars.... but a lot of people have moved from the MS260 onto the new Husky's Most popular bars are (in order) (way ahead!)15" sugi light type for Husky K095 mount ie. 346,550,560 12" sugi light type for MS200T and MS201T 18" sugi light type for Husky K095 mount ie. 346,550,560 14" sugi light type for MS200T and MS201T 13" sugi light type for Husky K095 mount ie. 346,550,560 20",25" sugi solid and light for Stihl 441,461 36" sugi solid and light for both Stihl and Husky mounts

Just as an update on the OP - I'll be getting in all the inserts that Sugihara manufacture - this means that you should be able to put a Sugi bar on pretty much any saw although for some it will mean re drilling the oiler hole.... ... but all in all that won't be too much of a chore - may even buy a load of decent drill bits the right size so you will then get your spacers and drill bit to re drill oiler hole....

I already have most sizes in the light type bars Dan - I'll attach the pdf to this reply There's no shame in it! They are lovely things - not sure why they look and feel better than other bars - they just do! Good question - not sure yet but I expect them to last the life of the bar... light type bars are not new for Sugihara - they have been making them for a good few years. ROB-bro-282x219-BACK.pdf

Hi Paul as replied to before just go here for options: Guide bars

The ones with red decals are the solid pro bars ie. one piece construction. The ones with the white sections and the black decals are the 'light types' where sections have been removed and filled with resin. This gives lighter weight (around 20% to 25%).... ...but more importantly looks better!

I thought it was only mine! Brand new and it will not start with the de comp valve in - but you don't really need it. Apart from that a cracking saw

Stick some pics up of what you get when you get it.

Can you wait until the APF in Sept 2014? Will be plenty on show there I expect... I can see where the dilemma is - Woodmiser put huge amounts of energy into branding, marketing and going to shows - successfully I might add... From speaking to people I would say they are prob not the best brand in terms of design or build quality - but it's an easy brand to buy, information is accessible, parts are accessible, you know what you're getting. No doubt there are lots of other manufacturers out there that produce better built bandsaws (what about Big Js bandsaw - he was saying they do a smaller version than his?). Trouble is like a lot of things - you can have excellent build quality of something, a good price but.... ... if you don't have proper distribution and marketing at the other end it is meaningless...

Good stuff - put 'arbtalk' in as the discount code for a free throw in.

What you do in your own house is your own business Steve

Already have these in stock although they are the fastest selling bar out of all bars (I think 4 or 5 left now...)

Ref pre order offers - I'll do the same as last time on a sliding scale. Will give a list of all the bars that are on order - 3 months 30% off, 2 months 20% off, 1 month 10% off. Will post up and you'll have 2 to 3 weeks to qualify for the best discount.

Could maybe get the 18" in 3/8 - is there many that use 16"? I can do that now Andy - are you ok changing the nose over? I can send you a .404 nose inc with the bar... or if not I can change over for you. Already got these in the light type - just put your saw into the selector below. Guide bars Yep will def get the 18" then with 3/8" nose for 461,441,362 etc...
