K095 bar and chain conundrum

[Ryan Browne]

So, back when Left Coast Supply was selling off GB stuff on the cheap I bought a couple 16" .063 bars in d025. I also stumbled on some good deals on RSC in that gauge, so I have about a dozen loops of chain, maybe more. I ran that setup a fair amount on my ported 261 for the last couple years.

Anyway, I just sold that saw in favor of using 346s as my small saws. I want to keep one set up with .325 as I have several bars and chains that fit them, but I'd also like to run one with 3/8 for cutting firewood.

So, I'm trying to find a 60dl k095 3/8 .063 bar. And I'm striking out. Sugi and tsumura both make them in .050 and .058. Same with Oregon. I think Cannon makes what I'm after, but probably for more than I'd prefer to spend. Still hoping to hear back from our resident Cannon dealer with a price.

So, anyone got a k095 60dl 3/8 in .058 that is used enough to fit .063? Or, anyone without a machine shop have any luck widening a bar groove from .058 to .063? I have plenty of good sandpaper. Or does anyone know of a bar out there that I haven't found yet?

Thanks in advance!

Ryan,I dropped a .063 chain on the one I have, the bar is a canadian made .058.
The .063 fit it fine.
I don't even know where I got this bar, but I am trying to go all .050 I will let this one go.

That'd be awesome Jon. I've got some of this Archer 3/8 .050 here and a new breaker/spinner. I could spin up something in trade perhaps.

KO95 & .063 are two words that don't really go together. Ive got Windsor ST bars in ko95 mount that are 058 and after a little wear on either the bar or an 063 chain they will work together.
