Bar tip question..

[ErnieG]

I'm looking to buy this bar and I noticed the difference in height between the bar itself and the tip .
Is this something that can cause chain damage or can it just be filed down to match ?


Thanks
Ernie

Heres another pic (not the best but all I have rite now ) and you can see the difference.
Would the tip need to be replaced?

Do the rivets look like the tip was replaced?

My guess is someone put the wrong tip on.

I'll try and get some closer pics od the tip and go from there ...I thought maybe the same thing
Thanks

Definitely something wrong with the tip..

That tip was probably off another bar. When putting a new tip on an old bar it's often the opposite and you need to grind down the tip to match the old warn bar. Throw that tip on a less warn bar and that's what you'll see.

Just a guess anyway but if the tip is OK just grind the bar to match it and go cut

Now you have me wondering about the new and used tips I bought just like these ones for my older Cannon bar.

I’d pass on that. You could probably find the correct tip but it’ll take some searching. If the groove is sloppy it won’t cut straight with a new tip anyway.

Yea I'm gonna do that !
These 10mm Jonsered bars aren't an easy find ..

When in Doubt, Throw it OUT! Unless you go into the bush alone, and with a help pendant, thats junk waiting to harm.
