A wider nose will have higher tendency to kick back. I have both in 25" and really can't tell the difference. I think the older ones are wider than newer ES bar.

The wide tip bars are for better boring..

whats a new 3/8 tip cost?

About $17. But.. you have to match the correct tip to the bar - no changing narrow for wide etc...

That's for sure. Old vs new below, no idea about wide vs narrow tips today. Seems the wide ones would work better if one had a basic idea on kickback avoidance.....

That's a new narrow...
The 3/8 ES are made in both 11 tooth (narrow) and 13 tooth (wide) both types "yellow". Most dealers don't even know...
We only stock the wide above 25 inch.

You can also get the 25" ES in a 10 tooth "green" model.

Are the 13t bars a tad shorter, to compensate for the wider tip?

yes... and there are other variations when you look at 404 - 10's and 12's.

A new narrow? That is an old 36" Rollomatic 6 bar with the old orange writing on it. It's the one that needs a tip. I thought it was the same tip as on the 41" bar on the 084 monstersaw. You definitely know better 'n me, though. So is it the same tip as the new narrow?
OH, MY BAD. I JUST FIGGERED OUT THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO THE NEWER BAR IN THE PIC... D-OHHH.

Does the tip have to be sized according to gauge as well as pitch? I had never thought of that. Man, a seemingly simple project can get pretty darn complicated....:monkey:

No.. all Stihl tips are 063... even on 050 bars.

Some bars can go from wide to narrow. When you first get there, the girls are a little wide, but when they are about to close, they look thinner.
In the cut the big ones are a little jumpier but i like them on 28''+. had a 20" with the big tip and didnt really like it.
