Bars with exposed roller on tip?

[RED-85-Z51]

Where can I get these? and what is their purpose besides looking ?????in?

I believe the roller tip bars are preferable on hot-saws etc, but nobody makes them anymore, as far as I know.

My 621 originally had one, but that one is long gone - a friend of mine still has one on a Partner 117, but it is worne.....

I worked on an Old Remington that had one, and man I liked it.

Wish I could find a manufacturer.

Good luck, there are still a few running around. Just remember, if it is something that a r @ c e s@w guy uses, you are going to pay through the nose (no pun intended) to get it. A roller nose has less friction than a sprocket nose but the really cool part is you can run whatever pitch chain you want as long as you have the correct gauge. 1/2x.063 3/8X.063 .404x.063 or whatever

. A roller nose has less friction than a sprocket nose

And if it hangs up,which they never do,the chain still rolls over it just like it was a hard nosed bar.

Scott, is that a true roller? The ones Iv seen are not,it be worth getting a long bar and cut it down if its a true roller, Id probly have to do that anyway to fit a larger sprocket.
