10"-14" Guide Bars for STIHL Chain Saws

There’s a reason STIHL chainsaws have a long-standing reputation for quality. It’s because we take very seriously the design and construction of critical components like our guide bars. We manufacture our guide bars with the same strict quality control standards as our chainsaws so they work hand in hand to deliver the power and performance you’ve come to expect from STIHL. All STIHL guide bars have induction heat-treated edges to give high wear resistance. The heat treating process hardens the rails while allowing the rest of the bar to remain flexible. This makes it less likely for the bar to have a permanent bend if it were flexed during use. Our guide bars are also symmetrical. Over time, they can be flipped over to spread out the wear, increasing the service life of the bar.

ROLLOMATIC® E Guide Bars - The ROLLOMATIC® E is a general-grade laminated guide bar made of high-grade steel. Consisting of three electrically welded metal plates, it is lightweight, yet provides great stability. A sprocket is incorporated in the nose of the bar that carries the saw chain from the top to the bottom of the bar. This not only reduces wear, but also enables the bar nose to be made considerably narrower. This type of construction is an advantage where extensive use is made of the bar nose (i.e. limbing and boring). All STIHL ROLLOMATIC® bars are designed with a narrow nose to help reduce kickback tendencies. And the star-shaped sprocket can be replaced several times before the whole bar is due for replacement, increasing the service life of the bar.

Light 04 Guide Bars - With its legendary STIHL quality and updated modern design, the STIHL Light 04 Guide Bar is a great all-around option for frequent chainsaw use. The bar itself consists of three metal plates electrically welded together for a lightweight yet stable feel, and a narrow bar nose is designed to reduce kickback. The four-rivet sprocket in the bar nose allows the chain to travel from the top to the bottom of the bar, reducing wear and tear. Induction-hardened rails also increase wear resistance and help lead to a long service life. Fans of the STIHL ROLLOMATIC® E Standard Guide Bar will enjoy the Light 04 Guide Bar for cutting firewood, delimbing and more. The guide bar includes convenient laser engraved graphics that list length, pitch, groove width, drive link count, and part number.
