Roller Nose Bars!

[Dennis Cahoon]

OK.......I'm gonna post some roller nose bars for a little discussion.

Left to right....."new" Mac 10-10 36" rollernose bar with decals......"new" 30" General roller nose bar.....like new 42" roller nose bar "made in Canada" assuming made by Cannon.

That Mac bar is sweet. I've got a few roller nose bars myself. I definately have a week spot for them. The last one I picked up is a 36"er going on the 101 kart saw.

The 42" definitely looks like a Cannon bar. The Cannons and the Generals both have proprietary shapes in the tail.

Here's a better look at the 10-10 bar, and a look at the made in Canada from the 42"er.

A little heavier, but man, nothing like Canon.

The 30" General has like a brown colored bluing on it. Sweet bar!......but one day, I needed a bar to stone a race chain on. I stupidly grabbed this brand new bar out of the cardboard and stoned the chain. It now has some slight scratches on both sides!......Oh well, it's still a nice looking bar.

Here's the 42" and a longer Carlton hard nose large stihl mount Tsumura bar

Nice bar's Dennis. I use'd to have a 36in roller nose, on a 2100 homelite. I can't remeber the bar brand though.

what is the purpose of those?:msp_ohmy:

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Thanks!.....Back in 1992 I called Ray Carlton and talked him into putting me on the Carlton Race Team with Rolin Eslinger and Melvin Lentz. He cut off all the matching prize money and promised us only product. Was great for me, I was still cutting logs and got tons of Carlton chain and bars. The bars were total junk, made by GB back then. I kept complaining and finally talked them into looking for a better product. They soon had Tsurmura making there bars and were much better quality. Funny, at the time I wanted a 42" and all they had was hard nose, which I did want. They wanted to give me dozens of those long hard nose, Finally, I got one and was gonna put on 3 rivet tip, but never did. Wish I would've got more now, they're very nice bars.

Dumb question here! But had to ask! :msp_tongue:

What would happen if you were to bore cut with a roller? :msp_mellow:
And can you bury the tip of the roller into wood?

Not dumb.
They will work loose and fall apart if you plunge cut too much. I had a dozen or so replaced on bucking saws.

Here's a couple of my favorite roller tip bars. Marky Mark gave me the smaller one and I don't know who made it and haven't ever seen another one. Does anyone know who made that bar and tip? The other is the famous 3 1/2" Mall/Remington roller tip. The tip slides into the slotted bar and isn't riveted to the bar itself. I personally use these on my big bellyed hotsaw bars, run on my cr 500 hotsaw.

[Dennis Cahoon]

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!

Nice bars, I love the look of the roller nose bars. All I have at the moment is a 28" and 50ish", need to get a couple more to fit in between those two. That fat bellied bar is custom made right? Looks kind of like a harvester bar.

 

[RiverRat2]

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!

is that my race chain your workin on there Dennis????

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Sorry Rick......That race chain went to South Africa.
