I'm trying to educate myself on the different bars for chainsaws. I did a forum search but it kept coming up "no matches". If this has all been well covered please just link me to it.
I picked up a used 372xp yesterday and got on Bailey's shopping for a new bar for it atleast 28". There were models by Oregon, Carlton, Husqvarna, Woodsman Pro, etc. Some where solid, some sprocket tipped, some laminated. They came in. 050, .058, .063 gauge. The 385 I sold several years ago had a 28" Forester bar that was fine I suppose but I have no recollection what gauge it would have been. What does all this mean so I can make a well educated decision? Thanks for the help.
