Cheap bar oil at Blain's FF.

This is a Husqvarna brand guide bar (X-Tough). @bwalker wrote that it's made by Tsumura, but that's not necessarily true. It's made in Canada probably.

Husqvarna sources their X-Tough Light bars from Tsumura/Suehiro Seiko Co. (4 sprocket rivets) and Sugihara/Diatop Co. Ltd. (5 sprocket rivets) depending on the market.

Ya know all about that last sentence. Just saying x-tough I dont think is the Tsumura made bar. It's never had oil hole since came out years back either as shown in my pic.

Tsu, Sugi, Husky

No Tsumura bar I ever seen or made by them. They have had those out for years. Any proof?

If I was placing bets, tip is more sugi style. But maybe just made in Canada or even China made for Husky. Who know without more info.

Agreed. Do you happen to know who manufactures X-Tough (not Light) bars in Canada?
Cannon?

"The Husky bar I bought last week made by Tsumara".

I knew that it was about the Husqvarna brand bar (X-Tough), which do not have a hole. Who exactly is the manufacturer is to be determined.

Tip's made in Canada. Prob just same Oregon plant as before with the design change years back.

So betting bar just Canada too.

Fwiw I assumed Tsumara had the bar contract for Husky. This may or may not be true.
I will look tonight when I get home to see where it was made.

Yes I know Tsumura made the Light and Sugi Made the Light for them. I think it is getting crossed somewhere.

X-tough tip shows made in Canada right on the box they come in for replacement.

It depends on the market. In Europe Tsumura, in America Sugihara. And it's all about X-Tough Light bars. X-Tough (not Light) is a different matter, they are longer available on the market.

The bar I have says made in Canada as well. Highly doubt it's made by Oregon as the quality is too good.
