Product information & specifications
Tsumura Light Type 18″ (45cm) 3/8 .058 – 68 Drive Links Chainsaw Bar
Designed for professional chainsaw users who demand lightweight handling, cutting stability and long-term durability. The Tsumura Light Type 18″ (45cm) chainsaw bar is manufactured and assembled using advanced technology machines and salt heat treatment to deliver high standards of durability, strength, finish and dimensional accuracy. Uniform groove gauge tolerances ensure precise chain fit and improved cutting stability over the bar nose.
Guide bars require both toughness and hardness — two normally contrasting characteristics. Tsumura's salt bath heat treatment process draws out both properties by applying a gradual, steady heating method. This results in an ideal hardened steel structure with excellent stability and reduced distortion.
Key Features & Benefits
- Light Type weight-reduction design: Dove-tailed notches staggered and packed with hard resin reduce bar weight by approximately 20%.
- Salt heat treatment: Produces steel with both toughness and hardness for long-term durability.
- Uniform groove gauge tolerances: Ensures precise chain fit and improved cutting stability.
- Solid guide bar construction: Manufactured from one plate of super hard alloyed steel SKS-51.
- Improved cutting efficiency: Reduced bar weight enhances balance and performance.
- Reduced operator fatigue: Lighter bar design improves handling during prolonged cutting work.
