Windsor speed tip bar quality?

[Pioneer]

Found an old Canadian made Windsor speed tip bar in a Husqvarna mount, what kind of quality are these bars? How do they stack up against the Oregon power match?

I ran several years ago. Very good quality tips and harder rails than a Power Match.

Done deal. Local dealer blowing out old stock, last one in this size. Nice tight groove tolerance, less than half the cost of a new Oregon power match. Hard to say no to it.

Very good bars, more along the lines of Cannon than Oregon

Windsor was bought by Oregon about 15 or so years ago. They now rebrand old Oregon/carlton products as windsor for some markets.
but the old black bar tip type of bars are excellent.

Half the price and twice the quality- win win!
You did well.

I'd like to know if the new carlton branded speed tips are of the same quality. I run 3 or 4 of the old ones and yeah nice bars. They come up nice when stripped of the old worn paint

Score!

Many of the older McCulloch branded bars were actually made by Windsor, I agree that they are very good quality and the tips still seem to be readily available. I even have a few in the odd McCulloch .354 pitch...
