Carving: ECHO® does not offer carving accessories, including guide bars or chains. Carving bars are specifically designed for detailed carving and sculpting. Units should only be operated with the recommended guide bars and chains listed for that model. Accessories from other manufacturers are not recommended for use.  


Bow: ECHO® does not offer any bow bars. Bow guide bars are specifically designed for cutting wood laying on the ground. Units should only be operated with the recommended chains listed for that model. Accessories from other manufacturers are not recommended for use.


Milling: ECHO® does not offer any milling chains. Milling chains are specifically designed to cut logs into lumber using a chainsaw mill. They feature slightly different cutter geometry optimized for milling efficiency and smoother cuts. While they can handle crosscuts, the efficiency and finish may vary depending on the chain type. Units should only be operated with the recommended chains listed for that model. Accessories from other manufacturers are not recommended for use.  


Ripping: ECHO® does not offer any ripping chains. Ripping chains are specifically designed for cutting wood along the grain (rip cuts). They feature a chisel-style cutter with a lower hook angle, typically around 5–10°, which reduces resistance and makes cutting along the grain easier. These chains are commonly used in sawmills or for resawing lumber.  Units should only be operated with the recommended chains listed for that model. Accessories from other manufacturers are not recommended for use.  


Carbide: ECHO® does not offer any carbide chains. Carbide chains are specially designed to cut hard materials with minimal sharpening and are ideal for use in construction, agriculture, and landscaping, allowing efficient cutting through nails, aluminum, wood, and asphalt shingles. Units should only be operated with the recommended chains listed for that model. Accessories from other manufacturers are not recommended for use.
