Hey guys - thinking about getting a new bar for my Dolmar PS-510 - original bar is about 5 years old and seen a lot of use - about time to think about a new one and keep the other as back up. I like PowerMatch bars - have them on my 262xp, 61, and 372xp. Trying to find a .325/0.50/72dl PowerMatch bar, but can't seem to find one on Bailey's - only 0.58 gauge. I have a lot of chains, so want to keep the bar the same. I assume a small-mount Husq bar style will work - I interchange my Dolmar bar with my Husq 50 and Makita 520i, and ultimately want to buy a bar that I can run on all three saws with the same chains. Any suggestions? Thanks!
yeah, you need a K095 mount, lots of saws use that bar/mount. I haven't looked, but shouldn't be too hard to find. heck I might even have one out there that isn't all used up.
Great - thanks - found an Oregon Pro-lite with the K095 mount and with my specs - no PowerMatch though. Anyone have any experience with the pro-lite bars? Thanks! Cheers!
I don't like the pro-lites, they are a laminate bar, not a solid bar like the power match is. a lot of saws come with those as the stock bar because they are cheaper and won't hold up as long in the long run.
http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-200RNBK095-Gauge-Pitch-Power/dp/B001SCL7DI oregon part number is 200RNBK095 Check evilbay and all the usual suspects. You might find one cheaper.
They make a 20" 78DL you posted. But OP wants 18" = 72DL ( OP = .325/0.50/72dl PowerMatch bar) Dont make a oregon powermatch in 18" that I know of without going older one like I have.
Cutterchoice sells a bar lot nicer IMO then OPM. Laser 41014 - 18" FPRO BAR 325 050 (72DL) http://www.cutterschoice.com/templates/product.aspx?ProductGuid=41014&GroupGuid=80
Great - thanks! I'll check into the Laser bar - strange that Oregon doesn't make a powermatch in my specs - seems common enough. Cheers!
Doh! Yer right. I saw the 72DL and thought 20" bar. Forgot about the .325 vs 3/8" pitch that I normal use. Oops...
