Also referred to as a chainsaw blade, the chainsaw bar is the metal component that carries and supports the chain during cutting operations. One of the most common malfunctions in even the sturdiest equipment is caused by wear and tear to the bar from extended use. At L-M Equipment Co. Inc., we offer chain saw bar repair services to help you regain efficient and accurate operating use of your chainsaw.
Chain Saw Bar Damage
A chainsaw bar must handle a considerable amount of friction and heat as the chain spins at high speed around it. It’s no wonder then that most brands recommend chain bar repair services the moment it suffers any damage. Of course, the bars of a chainsaw are manufactured to the highest quality and durability, so it can be challenging to know when the bar needs repaired or replaced.
The most consistent form of damage a bar will receive is due to simple operation, leading to a bar groove track bar that is too wide or too low. The chain will impose heavy friction during operation that can increase the width and wear down the height of the bar groove track. Under the strenuous conditions, this can result in the chain jumping out of the bar groove track.
