DIME TIP CARVING BARS & CHAIN. Mount a mini dime tip bar (less than ¾" diameter) to your saw & turn it into a detailing machine! For carving the smallest detail possible with a chainsaw nothing beats a dime sized bar! Most chainsaws are factory supplied with a 3/8" (.375) sprocket. However, dime bars require the use of ¼ pitch chain (our item 270165) with a matching sprocket. So to use a dime tip bar normally the sprocket will need to be changed to ¼ pitch. See our listings for ¼" sprockets to convert your saw to accept 1/4 pitch chain. The Mastercarver® carving bars feature ad hardened steel dime tip. Note: The following STIHL chainsaws are sold with factory supplied 1/4” pitch drive sprockets: MSA 60 C-B, MSA 70 C-B, MS 151 C-E, MSA 160 C, MSA 200 C (no conversion sprocket is needed for these chainsaws).

Does this fit a stihl ms170
Yes, this is a universal fit bar designed to work on most major chainsaw brands (E.g. Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, etc.).
Keep in mind that your saw will need an aftermarket 1/4″ (.25) pitch drive sprocket installed to use a dime bar. If you want a small nose carving bar that will work with your existing factory supplied 3/8″ (.375″) pitch drive sprocket choose our #271001 Quarter Bar and chain set:
