Sugihara 18" Lightweight Guide Bar - 3/8" x .050" (D025 Mount)
Experience the legendary Japanese craftsmanship of Sugihara guide bars. This 18-inch professional bar is engineered for Stihl's most powerful saws, providing extreme durability while significantly reducing weight. Machined from high-carbon alloy steel, the bar features a resin-filled core that maintains structural integrity while improving the saw's overall balance.
The Sugihara Edge: Made in Japan
Sugihara bars are known for superior rail hardness (RC60), often lasting twice as long as standard consumer bars. The polished steel finish ensures no hidden surface defects attract friction or heat. This results in a bar that stays straight, resists "spreading" at the rails, and delivers a smoother cutting experience in heavy timber.

⚠️ Pitch Compatibility Warning:
This bar is designed for 3/8" standard pitch sprockets. It is NOT compatible with .325" or 3/8" Low Profile (Picco) drive systems. Please verify your saw's drive sprocket pitch before ordering.
🛠️ Mechanic's Tip:
For 3/8" pitch bars on larger saws, lubrication is critical. This bar features a replaceable sprocket nose (Part #T2-8Q)—if the nose bearings wear out, you can swap the tip rather than replacing the whole bar. Always hand-thread nose rivets securely and flip the bar daily to ensure the RC60 rails wear evenly.
