Quality Guide Bars from Trusted Brands
A good chain saw bar needs to be robust, accurate, and properly matched to the saw. That’s why our range focuses on respected names such as STIHL, Husqvarna, and ECHO.
STIHL options include popular choices like Rollomatic E, Rollomatic E Mini, Light 01, and Light 04, along with Cut Kits for a wide range of saws. These bars are designed to support reliable cutting performance while helping reduce unnecessary weight where appropriate.
Husqvarna chainsaw bars are famous for their impressive build quality. Amongst our stock, you’ll find X-Force Pro laminated bars, complete X-Force bar and chain kits, Husqvarna 18 inch bars, and more.
ECHO guide bars are also available for compact saws, including 10 inch bars for selected pruning and lightweight chainsaw models.
Chainsaw Bars in Popular Lengths
Choosing the correct bar length is essential. A shorter chainsaw bar is often lighter and easier to control, while a longer bar offers greater cutting capacity for larger timber.
Our range includes compact 4 to 10 inch guide bars for pruning saws and small chainsaws, as well as 12 to 20 inch chainsaw bars for larger machines.
A 16 inch chainsaw bar is a popular all-round choice for garden, estate, and firewood use. An 18 inch chainsaw bar offers extra reach and capacity for larger logs, while a 20 chainsaw bar is better suited to more demanding cutting tasks on appropriately powered saws.
If you’re browsing our longest chainsaw bars, remember it’s important to choose one that your chainsaw is designed to run. Fitting a bar that is too long can reduce cutting performance and place unnecessary strain on the machine.
Matching the Bar to Your Chain
A chainsaw guide bar must match the chain’s pitch, gauge, and drive link count. These specifications ensure the chain sits correctly in the bar groove and runs smoothly around the nose sprocket.
Our guide bars cover all the popular chain pitches including 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 3/8 inch P, and .325 inch. Our aim is to make it easy to find the right combination for your chainsaw, whether it’s a domestic battery-powered or professional petrol machine.
If you’re unsure which chainsaw bar you need, check your current guide bar, your chainsaw manual, or contact our team for advice.
STIHL and Husqvarna Cut Kits
Cut Kits are a practical option when both the bar and chain need replacing. Each kit includes a compatible guide bar and matching chains, taking the guesswork out of selection.
Our STIHL Cut Kits cover a wide range of popular models, including compact tools such as the GTA 26, battery saws, pole pruners, and petrol chainsaws such as the MS 162, MS 170, MS 181, MS 211, MS 231, MS 261, and more.
Husqvarna Cut Kits combine X-Force guide bars with suitable X-CUT or matching chains, including options for 15 inch, 18 inch, and 20 inch set-ups.
These kits are a convenient choice for anyone who wants a complete cutting attachment refresh.
When Should You Replace a Chainsaw Bar?
Even the best chainsaw bars wear over time. The groove can become shallow or uneven, the rails may spread, and the nose sprocket can become worn or stiff. A damaged bar can cause poor cutting, uneven chain movement, and increased wear on the chain itself.
You may need a replacement chainsaw guide bar if the saw pulls to one side, the chain will not tension correctly, the bar rails are visibly worn, or the nose sprocket no longer turns freely. Replacing the bar at the right time helps protect your chain and keeps your chainsaw cutting efficiently.

FAQs
How do I know which chainsaw bar fits my saw?
You need to match the bar length, pitch, gauge, and mounting pattern to your chainsaw. The easiest way is to check the markings on your current chainsaw carving bar or refer to your machine’s manual.
Can I fit a longer chainsaw bar to my chainsaw?
Sometimes, but only within the manufacturer’s recommended range. A bar that is too long can reduce cutting power, increase wear, and make the saw harder to control.
What is the difference between using a 16 inch chainsaw bar and an 18 inch chainsaw bar?
A 16 inch chainsaw bar tends to be a good all-round size for garden and firewood use. An 18 inch chainsaw bar gives extra cutting capacity but should only be fitted to a chainsaw powerful enough to run it properly.
When should I replace my chainsaw bar?
Replace the bar if the rails are badly worn, the groove is damaged, the chain will not sit correctly, or the saw cuts unevenly even with a sharp chain.
Are STIHL, Husqvarna, and ECHO chainsaw bars interchangeable?
Not always. Compatibility depends on the bar mount, chain pitch, gauge, length, and drive link count. Always check the specifications before buying a replacement chain saw bar.
