346xp 357xp Sushi Bar

[sunfish]

Sugi Hara, that is

Had to give these bars a try. 16"(.325) on the 346 and 18"(3/8") on the 357.

They seem to be built as good as they look. Will give em a good workout this fall.

What y'all think?

They definitely look sharp. Congrats!!

 

[sunfish]

If they are built like they look, I would stay a long way away from them - but I don't think that is the case.

Well, they wont look like this very long

Sorry, but :taped:

I might have wanted them on a larger and heavier saw though!

Sharp look'n saws, Come down some time & you can get some Booger County sawdust on them. I'd like to see how your saws fair with my 350. Where did ya pick those bars up at?

The 357 lost 1 lb with the change. The 346 weighs the same. I like light weight

Stumpy, I need to get down there sometime. I got these on Ebay.

No problem at all

I was going to get Oregon Pro Lite bars, but was having trouble finding the right ones. Saw these and pulled the triger. I think they'll work OK...

The original Norwegian made bars are slimmer and lighter, but most likely won't last as long - the rebranded Pro-Lites is a different story - there is no perfect bar, that fits every expectation!

The original Husky 16" that came on the 346 is laminated and lighter than the Sugi, but not much. It's also the only bar that's been on this saw and has held up well, is still good after 9 years.

The Sugi is wider top to bottom, with a larger radius at the tip and I like this. I also like the looks

I'll get a Pro Lite or two at some point. Ha, I used to be a 'one saw, one bar' guy.

 

[Stumpys Customs]

One saw guy

That used to be me too. I thought my 350 was all I needed untill a buddy gave me my 268 a couple of years ago. It didn't run quite right so I replaced the tank vent. That saw made my place payment that winter.

Now I've got three runners that are all ported, and all I really need still is my 350. If I hade the money I would have brought home 7 more saws yesterday, but the voice of my bank account was louder the the cad. I ended up not buying anything

Very aggressive look :jawdrop:

There is a word in swedish i think is fitting here. "fulsnygg", literally "uglypretty". Does look good on those saws, though. Keep us posted how they hold up.

"fulsnygg", literally "uglypretty".

I like it, and it does fit.

I'm really more into how they perform, but I do think these bars have a 'tough look'...and are very well made.

Yes, that was exactly what this Yankee was gonna say: fulsnygg!
