Well, having used this bar on something other than cookie cutting videos, I gotta say this is as good as it gets for a 460. If I had to pick one and only one bar to mount up on the 460, this is it. Weighs no more than the 20" ES bar I favor when I don't need the length. The saw will pull full comp chisel chain (33RS-91) on it with the bar buried and the dawgs set in hard. The balance is damn near perfect too. It took a couple shots from big rounds (40") that I was cutting yesterday too so I'm pretty pleased with the durability as well.

Basically it handles like a Porsche while pulling like a Cummins.

What was that about balance? :)
