18" BAR 0050" 325" L04

Overview

The STIHL WOOD BOSS Guide Bar (3005 810 7017) is designed for chainsaw cutting applications requiring a reliable, durable, and reduced-kickback bar solution.

Technical Features

• High-grade steel construction: Provides structural durability under repeated cutting loads and extended operational life.
• Three-plate electrically welded body: Bonds the bar's core and rail plates into a single rigid unit, delivering consistent dimensional stability during operation.
• Induction-hardened rails: Resists wear along the chain contact surface, extending service intervals and maintaining cutting accuracy over time.
• Narrow bar nose design: Reduces the kickback zone at the tip of the bar, improving operator safety during plunge cuts and tip contact scenarios.
• Lightweight profile: The laminated three-plate design reduces overall bar weight compared to solid-bar alternatives, decreasing operator fatigue during prolonged use.
• .325" pitch and .050" gauge compatibility: Matches a widely available chain specification, simplifying chain replacement and sourcing across STIHL and compatible saw platforms.

Applications

• General firewood processing and bucking with STIHL chainsaws accepting an 18" bar.
• Limbing and felling of small to medium timber where an 18" cutting length is appropriate.
• Replacement bar for saws currently fitted with a .325" pitch, .050" gauge drive system.
