Other bars made by other MFG's that fit Stihl saws, (Oregon, Raismann, Forester, Carlton, etc.). These all carry the label of the MFG. Most work very well but get criticized frequently for being cheap imitations.
I know for me it' cause of cost. HL bar for $15 bucks on sale or $40 for the Stihl.
Wait? What!?
We used to burn them at high school parties in the woods.damn thet burn hot and big.reminds me of one time we did it and sherriffs showed up we were burning a pile of old tractor tires. The deputys said they could see it for miles.they made us dump our coolers and go home.after fire dept. Showed needless to say they wernt to happy. That was good ole days.
I just made three gauges with three coins using this tip. It was easy to use an old quarter, an old penny, and an old dime to get right on three-place accuracy. I'm storing them in my truck's change container. Philbert, you just plain amaze me sometimes.

Proof is in the pudding. A sawyer gave me a used 36" Stihl bar last month that he says was "grooved out" and too wide to use. I checked it with the old quarter all the way around the bar. Good fit all the way and the groove's depth was fine also. So, I might just add a new sprocket nose. Amazing what sawyers throw away. I'll use this bar myself in early spring.
Agreed. This logger is noted for running his chains too loose with lots of slack and seldom flips the bar to even out wear. I imagine the bar threw the chain once or twice when too loose and he decided to say good bye to the bar. The bar had hardly any side flare out wear, so practrically no machining is required by me to save it.Good for you though.
