The Oregon 163PXLBA074 ControlCut™ is a professional-grade, lightweight guide bar designed for woodcutters who prioritize precision and maneuverability. Engineered with a stiffer bar body for more accurate cuts, this 16-inch bar provides exceptional balance on smaller Stihl powerheads, reducing operator fatigue during long days of felling, limbing, and bucking.
The ControlCut™ series features a small-radius sprocket nose designed to reduce kickback and improve cutting control. A redesigned sprocket nose system ensures a longer service life, while the optimized chain fit-up reduces rail wear, keeping your cuts straighter and your equipment running smoother for longer.
Stihl: 021, 025, MS 210, MS 230, MS 241, MS 250, MS 251.
⚠️ Important Compatibility Note: This guide bar uses a .063" (1.6mm) gauge and is designed for .325" pitch drive systems. It is NOT compatible with 3/8" or 3/8" Low Profile (Picco) sprockets. Always verify your saw’s drive sprocket pitch before ordering to ensure the chain and bar function correctly together.
