592XP info and a surprise

[huskyboy]

So is that 80 hours of constant use or??
So how often do you buy a bar? Every month? I have no idea so please excuse the rediculous question

Constant use, a rough estimate. I rotate saws with separate bars. So I got about 2-3 months out of a single bar. This is with tip replacement if needed, periodic closing of the rails to maintain groove gap to the gauge chain I was using if it got sloppy and dressing of the burrs on the rails with a file.

After I typed it up I did some calculating and I came up with about 100hrs too. But usually on one tip. Last summer the tips were failing when almost new for abit

Wow that is a lot of cutting!!! Just to put things into perspective I have never worn out a large mount bar, even milling. I’ve been weekend warrioring with the mill for 2-3 years now

Looks like our sponsor has the new bars in stock.

I just ordered a 24 I’ll see what it’s like and how long it’ll take me to get here.
Hl supply said they had them in stock so we’ll see

I just got my new Husqvarna bar in the mail today. Look sharp I thought it was going to be stickers on the bar but it is painted where it says Husqvarna. I assume it’s paint.
The weight is about the same as a Sugi bar in 24. I also like that the bar is now engraved to identify the bar gauge , drivers length
The sugi where is just a tad more because probably sawdust.

Very nice!

I like the Husqvarna paint job over for the inserts. And I also like that identify bars now .
Are they the latest bar on the market I don’t think so. Do they look sharp yes

What makes a good bar? My only bad bar experience was with an aftermarket Archer bar that spontaneously converted to hard nose.

In my opinion. And now this is my only opinion and others can chime in on this because we know there’s multiple answers of this I think a good bar is quality how it oils how it wears or last. and how much you’re willing to pay for. The payment is the part that nobody likes.
And I’m sure there’s a few points that I’m missing.

I've only used a few bars and I don't know what makes them different. I have two Tsumura bars that are NOT lightweight, what makes them different than a standard Husqvarna or Stihl bar? What makes one bar more durable than another?

The bars that you were using I’m here good things about them. In the case of knowing what bars are better than others bars. I think that all comes in time. And again this is my opinion and other guys outI will be able to chime in on it .us and I think A lot goes to wear and tear and oily

 

[RI Chevy]

There are ways to tweak the bar a little and make it oil more.
Just drill the hole out a bit.
I can't remember but I think it was 5/32 drill bit.

Yes I remember the first time I’ve done that drill my oil holes out larger didn’t go over too well for the drill bit

 

[DC1072]

Something else I just found out the oil holes in the new Husqvarna bars I larger than Sugi
At least by that I have in my older bars.

That's good news...

There are a few things that distinguish good bars from some others. Rail hardness, how resistant they are to bending and stiffness (if those aren't the same thing) quality of the sprocket nose, fitment to the saw, size of oil holes. I believe stihl, husqvarna, and tsumura RSN bars would be made in Germany, Canada, and Japan respectively. All good choices in my opinion. Stihl and tsumura might have a little edge in terms of rail hardness.

So not do I only discover which apparently is a larger oil hole . It seems to be mill a little bit better what I mean by that is when I take the chain and run her around the bar free handed by my hands. It doesn’t tighten up or loosen up like my old Sugi bar do .
Like the nose sprocket is much more and center I like I had a bent sprocket on my Saw kind of what I mean it would slack up and tighten the chain I can’t say it was a fluke because I have four sugi Bar from 20 to 36”

 

[DC1072]

Oh I forgot to mention makes even look better. When it’s on the Saw
Don’t mind the messy workbench
