Solid nose bars

[firmwood]

No one locally supplies them, and claim they're no longer being manufactured.

I find it hard to believe.

Can fellow arborists prove them wrong?

I need a few solid nose bars. I do a lot of nose cutting, and roller bars split or wear ridiculously.

Prefer Oregon

Our new 880 has a Duromatic hard nose bar on it... I know Cannon makes them too. What size and mount pattern do you need?

Many months ago I had an Oregon solid ordered, after a bunch of back and forth arguing that the saw doesn't have enough power to whip the chain around, I said I don't care about speed. Here's what I want. If you want my business make it happen on paper, no more words are required to be spoken. And he ordered it.

Now earlier this week he claims it's no longer available. I think he's just trying to push his wall stock that's collecting dust.

I have a fairly new Oregon 20" solid nose bar sitting in my shop right now on a MS660 Stihl. It doesn't belong to me however, it's a customer's saw.

Oregon has a laminated and a solid hard nose bar. They changed the naming lately. Whether or not there is a problem actually getting them now I can not say but do recall seeing the solid one wandering around that Left coast supply web store. There are three nose radius codes I have the smaller one in the laminated and the medium in the solid which is something like laser plus but that is the old naming. It would not surprise me if one ordered the largest nose it might not come in.

Left Coast Supplies is no longer in business. Lots of other places carry them.

Regardless thanks. Plenty of other bigger bars for the other Saws

12" solid nose bars are carving bars available from Cannon, Oregon, and Stihl.. Stihl and Oregon still have solid nose bars available if you look in a Stihl catalog or Baileys catalog.

Sounds like somebody cuts a whole heap of rail mortise plunge cuts in fence posts.

At least 25% of my cutting is with sprocket nose bar & that's in the hardest Australian species & I haven't bars splitting or wearing out, he probably has safety chain with bumper links which won't allow tip cutting.

Coupled with cheap light laminated bars......

One thing about solid nose bars that some people like. The chain's pitch means almost nothing to them.

The Husqvarna X cut is considered a low kickback safety chain and I bore cut with it

Yep. Might bore cut slower, but I have done it with many low-kickback chains.
