The 180TXLGD025 SpeedCut guide bar is a top-performing, 18" chain saw bar compatible with several Stihl chain saw models including 024, 024 Super, 026, 026P, and 028 Super. Check the Fit Guide to see if this bar works with your saw. SpeedCut's narrow kerf system requires less power, resulting in faster cuts. This guide bar is lighter, stiffer and stronger than our other light weight bars. The debris shield increases the bar's durability in difficult work environments. The all new bearing-grade steel sprocket nose assembly resists spreading and wear. A new UV paint process prevents paint from getting stuck in the bar groove, while maintaining accurate gauge through the working life of the saw. Precision bar grooves provide better fit-up and reduced wear. LubriTec keeps your bar and chain oiled, allowing for less friction and a longer life. This bar must be used with .325" narrow-kerf chain.

Pitch
Pitch
Chain Pitch is the size of the chain, and is defined as the distance between any three consecutive rivets divided by two. Oregon chain is made in several pitches - 1/4" is the smallest, 3/8" is the most popular, 3/4” is the largest. Pitch is important because the drive sprocket must be the same pitch as the chain, and if applicable, the bar nose sprocket. The easiest way to determine the pitch of your chain is to look at the number stamped on the drive link.

Gauge
Gauge
Chain Gauge is the Drive Link's thickness where it fits into the bar groove. The gauge of the chain and the gauge of the bar must match. Oregon has several gauges for chainsaws - such as, .043", .050", .058" and .063". Normal wear can make it difficult to accurately measure chain gauge on a worn chain. Always order by the number stamped on the drive link of your old chain to assure correct gauge.

Drive Links
Drive Links
The length of your chain is determined by counting the number of drive links in your chain. Your drive link count has a direct correlation to your bar’s length. Be careful; a bar made by Oregon may take a different drive link count than that of another producer. Here’s a tip: count the number of drive links in the chain you have now, and write that number down someplace where you can find it. Or, if you have an Oregon chain in an Oregon box, the drive link count is stamped on the flap; you can save that flap for future reference.

Intenz
Intenz
Intenz guide bars have our patented Intenz chain tensioning mechanism built right into the bar itself. Replace a Intenz guide bar with another Intenz guide bar to maintain the saw’s ability to properly tension the saw chain.

Narrow Kerf
Thickness of side laminates is reduced to obtain all the advantages of narrow kerf cutting when used in combination with all narrow kerf .325" 95-series chain.
