Total Bar Group Buy until Monday the 24th!

[Dan_in_WI]

My bars arrived undamaged. The 28" bar is so flat it creates a vacuum seal when set on the granite surface plate.

It has come pass that the 42" Large Husky mounts are re-branded Oregon bars and not made from Tsumura Steel as they represented. These were the first of these length's Ive ordered and Randy Barnes has brought it to my attention. Called the manager of Tilton and he confirmed they are Windsor bars with Oregon tips supplied by Blount, same people who make Oregon bars (they bought out Windsor).

If you want to exchange the bar for a 36" bar of Tsumura steel, I'd be glad to do that and provide a refund of the difference to you. Seems the only two that sold were both to a Randy... Barnes and Beyer. If you want a refund or exchange, let me know.

Randy

Hey are you sure the 42" bars aren't actually rebadged Oregon Power Match Plus bars Randy? As far as I know the Windsor Speed Tips (really good bars) only go to 36".
They may not be as pretty and shiny as a Tsumura but they are actually a really good bar (I run one and have 2 on the shelf in 42").
From what I've seen the 42" Oregon bars are every bit as stiff (if not slightly stiffer) than the equivalent length Tsumura. I also run a 42" Tsumura hard nose. The Tsumura is definitely top shelf steel but no flies on the Oregon Power Match Plus bars, I rate them and run a few to boot.

I got mine in fine shape, now if it would stop raining and dry out I could stop jawing and start sawing!!!!!

The mail lady just delivered mine. Purty, real purty. I'll put it to work later in the week and get a pic or two.

Did you send my bars in two shipments? I received a box today with one 42" and one 36". So I am still short three 36" bars. Box arrived in good shape, nothing fell out.

Come to think of it, the bar ain't half bad looking either...

And now she knows you have the longest bar in town.

Checked the invoice pile.... your correct. I missed that it was 4 and only got one in the box. I'll get the others out to you ASAP. What do you think of the 42"? If you want a refund, tell me now and I'll have them refund the cost of you can have another 36" Tsumura bar?

No worries. To be honest, I think I would rather send back the 42" and get a fifth 36". Just not a fan of the whippy Oregon. If that works for you, let me know what to do. Sucks that shipping a long bar back and forth is so expensive.

Send back the 42", I'll order another 36" and when it gets here I'll send all 4 at once if that works for you, I'm good. They can credit me the 42" later.

Sounds fine to me. I'll try and get the 42 sent off in the next day or two, will let you know when I do. Sorry to be a pain.

That's a nice looking saw man. I don't run Husqys but I'm not predigest either. Those bar are sweet right?

Mine came Sat or Mon duno. Checked them out last night real quick and they look OK. I'll check the rails and hang a loop on them after they all get three coats of clear and a light bake. I do like that 28" it will be sharp on that Makita 8400 saw going up for sale soon. The 16" is resting waiting for the new 200T to get finish,um, started :msp_sad:. The 20" is just a sweet deal really. It has just right stuff and balance for 361's.

One question, am I really suppose to use that grease hole in the tip?

OK, here come nine thousand opinions.

They look nice on that 562. Are they as light as a Techlite?

They're a normal weight bar.

Clear coating a bar would really make these looks sweet. How do you do it, I would hate to ruin my new bars.
