STIHL 21" x .063"DUROMATIC (NLM) Bar for the 08 08S E30 Saws MIG # 300

Here we have a very hard to get bar for the Classic 08S. This Rare No Longer Manufactured STIHL DUROMATIC Chainsaw Bar in 21 inch or 53cm x .063 Gauge or 1.6mm Configuration. Soon all of these will be gone sadly.
You can run 75 or 75 Drive Links (DL) of 3/8 Chain or 68 DL of .404, I would go with the 3/8 myself but it is a personal preference type of thing.
What makes this one rare as is that it is one of the Old Style Made in Germany (MIG) Hard Nosed Bars. STIHL and dealers are moving away from this type of bar, in short they last too long.
If you love using your old 08S but the bar is flogged out then you will want this one, alternatively if you are a chainsaw collector and want your old saw to be better dressed with a new bar then this will be for you!
 
 
These 21 inch bars are really an optimum length for firewood cutting for small to medium sized timber... up to 36 inch or 3 foot diameter.
 
These bars are fantastic as they are just so durable, simple in that they have no moving parts and on top of that they are super strong and long lasting too!
My old mate and mentor George "Nuggett" Giblett (Farmer, Soldier, Bushman, Legend) put me on to using Hard Nosed Bars many years ago now and he was dead right,! George is gone but the truth remains, they are fantastic!
Some people (with limited experience) carry on about friction in the tip and loss of power though that is so not true.  You have to understand that Stellite is added to the bar tip and that stuff is so damn hard, if you have normal oil flow, the chain will just wizz/ glide around there with  NO friction at all!... think ice skaters on an ice rink spinning about, no friction to talk about there right... same thing here.
 The one thing is though is that you need to be a little bit more switched on with the chain tension as it needs to be just right so that when the chain gets to operating temperature (warm) that it's not loose and hanging. To acheive that it takes a bit of experience to know what is just right when the chain is cold. Without going on too much you need to run your chain a tad looser cold (about 10%) than on sprocket tipped bars.
Anyways that is how I see these bars... Extremely Durable and top value for sure!
