Guide barsBar types — what the “type” means
- Laminate
- Lighter bonded-steel plates with a sprocket nose — the everyday choice for homeowner & mid-size saws. Husqvarna X-Force.
- Solid / RSN
- One-piece steel with a serviceable replaceable sprocket nose, built for pro heat and load. Husqvarna X-Tough & X-Tough Light.
- Narrow Kerf / Pixel
- Thinner bar + chain that removes less wood per pass, so a smaller saw cuts faster on less fuel. Common on .325" and LP saws.
- Hardnose
- Solid bar with no nose sprocket, for abrasive or dirty cutting where a sprocket would wear out.
Saw chainsChain cutter styles
- Full chisel
- Square-cornered cutters — the fastest in clean wood. The pro choice for felling and bucking.
- Semi-chisel
- Rounded cutters that stay sharp longer in dirty, frozen, or dry/abrasive wood.
- Skip-tooth
- Fewer cutters spaced farther apart, for long bars and milling where chip clearance matters.
- Narrow kerf
- Thinner cutters matched to narrow-kerf bars on smaller and battery saws.
