Oregon Chain Bar, .325" x .050"

An Oregon chain bar is the go-to replacement when the original bar on a mid-size saw is worn, bent or pinched. This one runs .325-inch pitch chain at .050 gauge, a common combination on 40 to 60 cc saws.

When to replace your bar

Bars wear out. The rails spread or wear uneven, the groove gets shallow, and the nose sprocket goes rough. A bar that is pinched, bent or worn makes the chain cut crooked and wears out chains faster. When dressing the rails no longer fixes it, a new Oregon bar chainsaw setup brings the saw back to cutting straight.

Oregon also makes lightweight bar options in some sizes. If balance on a long bar matters to you, compare an Oregon lightweight bar with a standard one.

Oregon saw bars are made for a long list of saws, which is why they are a common stock item for crews running mixed fleets.

Order it with a fresh chain so the whole cutting system starts out matched and true.

Fit and care

Match the mount, length, pitch, gauge and drive link count to your saw and chain. Check the listing before ordering.

Flip the bar each time you sharpen, keep the groove and oil holes clean, grease the nose if it has a grease port, and keep the chain sharp. See more chainsaw bars.

A new bar deserves a new or fresh chain. Running a stretched, worn chain on a new bar wears the bar and sprocket faster.

Store spare bars flat and oiled.
