What length? I'm looking for a 42" for my 661. Only one I found in .050 is a Forrester.

Madsens had .063 Oregon power match in 42”. I got one.
137 link 3/8lp ( low pro?) .050- 42" bar
less kerf so maybe a bit easier on the powerhead?

Sounds good, I'm very interested in how you find this to work?

I'm kicking around different options. I have a 36" for my 661 and looking to go bigger. Thinking of just getting a bigger saw.

Howdy,
This is pretty much the same technology that's used on the Logosol mills. We just took it a couple steps further to work with other mill applications like the Granberg, and a variety of larger saws. The bar slots are 12mm but, they've been elongated. This way a bar stud adapter for say a Husqvarna can be installed, and you'll still have full adjustment available for the chain. When you try this with a bar that has a standard length 12mm slot the chain adjustment is severely limited. The tip on the bar is made to run 3/8 lp which cures a few pitch issues over running a full size 3/8 tip. The other product that makes this possible with larger saws, and also cures the pitch issues like the tip is the large spline 3/8 lp rim. http://leftcoastsupplies.com/product/rim-3-8lp-x7-standard-spline-gbf-gbr7l7/ These are all compatible with any manufacturers lp chain but, we get the best feed back from the Stihl 63PMX. http://leftcoastsupplies.com/product/63pmx-lo-pro-ripping-chain-dl-375-x-050/

Awesome how could this cost 55$ I'd expect it to be 400+?

Wow, thisnis interesting. I have the same bar but for 3/8 setup. It was actually a .404 bar thst had the tip replaced to run 3/8.
Someone needs to let us knjow how the LP chain holds up. If I ever wear out my bar I'll make the switch. I better get milling.

A member by the name of Mtngun milled all the softwood lumber for a fair size barn using an 066 and a 36" bar running LP.
He was running raker angles of up to 9.5º so must have been vibrating quite a bit but it seemed to work out OK.
I'd be interested in seeing how far the chain stretches in harder wood on the 42" bar.
