Chainsaw Repair

Did some garage research on the 20" SpeedCut bar today, comparing it to a same length Husqvarna, OEM, narrow kerf bar, and a slightly shorter one.

The weight difference is definitely there:
- (? unbranded) 16" nominal length: 21 ounces total weight
- Oregon SpeedCut 20" nominal length: 23.5 ounces
- Husqvarna branded, 20" nominal length; 28.6 ounces
The 20: SpeedCut bar weighs little more than the 16" conventional, laminated, NK bar.

But when I hung the saw to balance freely, the difference between the SpeedCut bar and the OEM bar was minimal (relative angles read off of gravity style protractor attached to the saw hand guard):
- Power Head Only (PHO) - 14°
- Power Head with 16" conventional, NK bar - 11°
- Power Head with 20" SpeedCut NK bar - 3°
- PowerHead with 20" OEM, NK bar - 0°
