Anyone run the Oregon Powercut 42" 3/8 bar ?

[gsrsol84mm]

Seems very reasonable at $130.
Would like to try it on a Mastermind Ported 661.

No real need but would like to give it a shot if the bar is halfway decent.
Would run 3/8 .063 as I run 3/8 on everything and all the files and sharpeners are set up for 3/8.
The saw is also set up for 3/8.

Seems like one of the the most reasonable priced longer 3/8 bars.

Would you run semi skip ? full skip or full comp. Will more than likely cut oak.

Thanks

Are you milling with this saw? 42” bar on a 90cc saw ported or not is overkill especially in hardwood.

No, not milling.
Just some general cutting of oak.
Wanted to try a large bar.

Not sure what brand bar or pitch of the chain in this video of a ported 661 with 42" bar.

Interested in some feedback of the Oregon Powercut 42" 3/8 bar.



Here are a couple of ported 661 saws with a 41" Cannon Bar

Oregon makes an excellent bar. At that price for a 42” I’d go for it.
