I am ready to give up on filing and grinding on my current (2nd in 10ish years) bar. Typically my saws end up cutting sweep to the left. Now it's to the right. I think it's well worn enough to say good bye.

OK, now what to buy? My origional bar's nose is in better shape than my second purchase of an Oregon brand.

I don't want to break the bank but don't want to buy junk either.

We end up cutting a lot of dead wood which is hard, and I use the factory bar oil and burn up about 5+ cords of wood annually.

Any experience good or bad, or advice is appreciated.

I need to make a purchase soon as I stopped midway today as the darn thing was cutting so crooked, I just said to heck with fighting it! ARrRuuuGGhhh!

Thanks!
Pete
