what is the really hype of these bars? seem they are very costly compared to other breedz of barz?
The bars and tips seem to be long lasting. They are out of the box one of the straightest bars money can buy. Fit and finish is better than most. They do not seem to be any more expensive than any other name brands around here. Used to get them stock with the bigger Jonsereds but no longer.
I would choose them over most others.
You are thinking Tsumura, not Sugi Hara. You can still get the Tsumura bar with the new JReds.
You are correct, Tsumura would be what I was thinking.
New Jonsereds around here come with G.B.(pro saws) or Oregon(consumer) bars now. Have not seen a Tsumora bar mounted to a new Jonsered in a long time.
Confused I was, but I did spend my evening straightening and dressing a collection of used damaged bars, saved 10 out of 12. Recycling at its best.
The Sugi Hara bars that I have are all old stock and small(+/_16"). I do not no what the hype is about but they seem to be nice bars.
I went out and looked at the easy to find S.H. bars. They seem to be well built, very similar to Tsumura. Labeled on the tip "Made in Japan".
Photos are examples S.H. on top and 3rd down in first photo. 4 and 5 in the photo are Tsumura bars of different ages. Have not seen any new as in still being made S.H. bars and would think that Tsumura won that battle. Pure speculation on my part.
I still do not think that I would pay extra for one. Chainsaw carvers might for dime tips.
I just got a brand new 32" Sugihara lightweight bar on Friday. I have a 20" and 28" as well. Great bars! LINK. BTW, the tips aren't shaped anything like your older bars.
You know where to get a 20" 3/8th .050 roller tip sugihara? The ebay link has 3/8 .058 and an email to them says they do not have that bar in a .050.

Thats a hard tip bar. Lookin for a roller.
Good to know they are still being made but a shame they might lose their importer.
How much lighter are they? Also are the prices on the links provided considered good?
Very good. Very, very good.
