What bar to convert an 026 to 3/8LP?

[Bill G]

3/8" LP has a narrower kerf. I know in round blades, I like narrow kerf.

What is your point?
I have never seen a tree complain about the saw kerf......have you?
You are not milling with a 026 so I guess I am not sure why kerf is an issue.

Thin kerf is for power saving (your saw not the wood). This means you have more power available for chain speed or bar length and it's easier on the power head. I bet LP is about half the kerf of regular 3/8. Less wasted power.

Some folks just dont have all the saws for every occasion . So who cares if you only run 3/8. Blah blah blah

Folks want to try new stuff good. Thats how folks learn and not live under a rock.

1/4" full and micro, 3/8LP, .325, 3/8, 404 all very common today. If you own saws for different jobs at hand.

1/4" mini micro for those nice pruning cuts on those 5lb 25cc saws. Talk about a thin clean kerf.

Only way you going to learn is test stuff for yourself.

Pizz on what anyone else thinks.
