where did u get the bar?
It's the one we've been discussing, mentioned up thread: http://leftcoastsupplies.com/product/18-gb-arbor-tech-bar/where did u get the bar?
I envy you Efisher26 says you have a echo 290evl or evil lol Id love to get an evl or solo that craftsman 3.7/roper saw is nice
Yes, but the thread was about a lo pro A041 bar.That's a low pro, and as far as a I can tell u can't switch tips to make a reg 3/8

They are neat but a saw must have a brake and A/V for me to consider it. I can cut most all of my firewood with small saws, and I enjoy making small and/or inexpensive saws work well. You'd be surprised what the saw in the picture can do - and the case is 21 years old.Gotcha
Just a home owner that likes the older better made machines
Craftsman 3.7

Of late Blount products even the so called " Pro" kit seems to have suffered a bit in terms of quality I would choose a ( Non laminated bar) if I wanted to lengthen the use period but then you are getting into the higher $ bracket, again it depends on you & your usage. You state you like to bring up to scratch your bars but don't mention bar reversal which I assume you also do. Blount have recently in my part of the world started to push " Windsor " bars, chains, tips etc.after they disappeared from the dealers shelves, & I find they are a " Better bang for your buck" than the "Oregon" but the "Windsor" bars we get come with Fabricated in Belgium on the packet, may not be so for the US.I wouldn’t consider a gb bar as pro but better than the oem bar that came with the saw IMO pro bars are hard like the oregon power match made of heavy hard steel box stores don't really sell pro bars but el-cheapo steel laminated or whatever there made from but shelling out money for a new bar isn’t my cup of tea I like to "recondition them a few times before there "done"
When I do maintenance I'll file the rails a bit grease the tip fix any issues to promote even wear on the bar.
