Oregon offers a good selection of guide bars for Echo chainsaws, just like for so many other brands. Oregon’s Echo-compatible selection is actually wider than Echo’s own.
This post guides you through Oregon’s bar offering for Echo. The tables below should help you find the right bar for your Echo saw. Be sure to check my list of original Echo bars for more options.
Overview
The table below gives an overview of the Oregon bar sizes for Echo chainsaws. It also indicates which saw category each bar size fits.
| Mount | Pitch | Gauge | Echo saws |
|---|---|---|---|
| A041 (T041) | 3/8" Low Pro | .043” | Cordless |
| .050” | <40cc | ||
| K041 (T041) | .325” | .050” | 36...50cc |
| .058" | |||
| K095 | .050” | CS-4510 | |
| .058" | |||
| K216 | .050” | 45...54cc | |
| D176 | 3/8” | .050” | 45...81cc |
| .058" |
The bar models are listed in more detail in the tables that follow. The bars are exceptionally listed first by pitch, then mount and gauge – the reason is the many mounts employed in Echo saws.
I have also included a link to the bar and compatible Oregon chains in Amazon where available. (Workshoppist.com is an Amazon Associate. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.) The availability in larger sizes is patchy – please check the original Echo bar options too.
3/8″ Low Profile (A041)
The Oregon A041 mount, 3/8″ Low Profile -pitch bars come in two gauges: .043″ and .050″. The .043″ gauge models fit cordless Echo saws while the .050″ gauge models fit most gas models up to 40cc (exceptions listed under .325″, K041). These bars are listed in the two tables below. A further table includes the related T041 (“Intenz”) mount bars in .050″ – these fit the same saws as A041.

.325″ pitch (K041/T041)
The Oregon .325″ pitch, K041 mount bars fit most low-to-medium-powered Echo saws between 36…50cc in engine size. Included are three-digit models CS-360EVL, CS-440(EVL), CS-510 and CS-520 as well as four-digit models between CS-3600 and CS-5000.
These bars are available in .050″ and .058″ gauge and both work on Echo saws with a matching chain (all original Echo .325″ bars just happen to be .050″ gauge). The bar models are listed in the three tables below (including K041-compatible T041 mount bars):
