Hmmm. 52 Inch Bar & Chain, unbelieable Price

[Altamaha]

So, has anyone been brave enough to order one? Total cost is about what I think shipping would be.

Sorry about the typo in the subject line.

On Ebay of course.

After you select the option you want the price goes up significantly.

Yup just a gimmick.

I was searching eBay a few days ago for a new IR temperature gun. There were several hundred available for under $3. The only photo shown was a picture of the gun as the item. After I clicked it, there were options that drop down for three different items, a thermometer, a cheaper temp gun which was sold out, and a more expensive temp gun which was sold out. There was no mention of the thermometer in the ad until you click on the info and it was the only item available. The whole thing was a gimmick

 

[cgraham1]

Yup.

 

[Altamaha]

Yea I was not brave enough to click on anything, was sure it is a scam.

Who would want a 52” bar in an 066 mount anyway?

 

[Steve Taylor]

Me me lol

 

[Philbert]

Shows that price for chain only option.

@tree monkey might be able to pull it off.

I want a 48” for my Mac 797

 

[Deets066]

I’m not sayin that it won’t pull it. But I doubt it would oil it very well. Be pretty awkward too, that’s 120cc territory

 

[redline4]

Don't you just need a gigantic driver and an MS180?

 

[lehman live edge slab]

Need a 3002 mount in .404 for my 090 to put on my 48” Alaskan mill. My 41” bar has me pulling out the 72” mill far to often. The around 14’ chain kinda sucks to sharpen.

 

[ManiacalMark]

Why not just buy a cannon?

 

[lehman live edge slab]

I do need a bigger bar just haven’t been able to put out the 3-400$ for one. 59” rollomatic was around 369 last I checked and the 52 was only slightly cheaper. When I was looking at cannons they were more money yet. I’ll get one eventually after I hopefully get some of my slabs sold.

 

[ManiacalMark]

I guess you could try the cheaper bar to see how long it lasts. I'm sure the stihl or cannon will last longer.

 

[Steve Taylor]

If it was the price listed I would not care. I could order a new one with every big job. I have a 64 on an o88 but lighter is better.

 

[Nutball]

Are foresters any good? Milled or laminated? Hardness? As cheap as an oregon 42" is $190 sounds good.

Skip the Rollomatic and get a Cannon. They are close in price and the Cannon is much stiffer.

190 seems dirt cheap, however that’s a monster bar for a saw of 90ccs
