Oregon 240RNDD176 .050" Gauge 3/8" Pitch 24" Power Match Bar, Grey/Red

What It Is

This Oregon 24-inch Power Match bar (model 240RNDD176) is a replacement chainsaw bar designed for EGO cordless chainsaws and compatible saws using 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge chains. It’s built for medium-duty cutting tasks like pruning, firewood processing, and light felling.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Bar mount pattern: This bar uses the Oregon Power Match (D176) mount—check that your saw’s stud pattern matches (typically 9.5mm slot width, 0.5" slot length). Common on EGO CS1500, CS1600, and CS1800 models, but confirm your manual.
• Chain pitch & gauge: Must be 3/8" pitch and .050" (1.3mm) gauge. If your saw uses a different gauge (e.g., .043" or .058"), this bar won’t fit.
• Deck clearance: The 24" length requires a saw with at least 24" of bar clearance. Measure your saw’s existing bar length; if it’s shorter, check that the clutch cover and chain tensioner can accommodate the longer bar.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Oregon is a top aftermarket brand—this bar is made from hardened steel with a sprocket nose for reduced friction and longer chain life. Comparable to OEM EGO bars at a lower price.
• Installation: Easy swap if your saw uses the same mount. Remove the old bar, install the new one with the correct chain (Oregon 91VX or equivalent .050" gauge, 3/8" pitch), and tension per saw manual. No filing or modification needed.
• Common gotcha: The bar includes a preinstalled nose sprocket, but you must use a chain of the same pitch and gauge. Mixing gauges (e.g., .050" bar with .043" chain) causes poor fit and safety risk.
• Warranty: Aftermarket bars may void EGO’s warranty on the saw if damage occurs. Check your saw’s warranty terms before swapping.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible EGO saw and need a reliable, affordable 24" bar for occasional to moderate cutting, this Oregon bar is a solid choice. It offers OEM-like performance at a lower price, but skip it if your saw uses a different mount or gauge, or if you’re under warranty and concerned about coverage.
