Chain Saw Chains
The first time I ever heard a name for chain saw chains, it was the Oregon chain. 40 years later I still hear the same name: Oregon chain saw chains. These guys have been manufacturing chain saw parts since 1959. I think they know a little about this business or they wouldn't have been around that long. Agree? What Size Chain Saw ChainsChain saw Chains are purchased in bulk by many parts stores and then they proceed to make your chains. When you are looking for your next chainsaw chains, keep these numbers in mind: Pitch:
.325 or .404 pr 1/4" or 3/8" The pitch has to do with the teeth and how much they carve out with one chunk and the guage is the same of your bar width which allows the chain to travel around the bar. Make sure you match the chain to your echo chainsaw bar. You have low pitch (LP) and chain saw kickback. Low pitch doesn't take as much with each bite and the lower the pitch the less likely you get kickback. The easiest way to determine what type of chainsaw chain you have on your saw, get a pair of reading glasses and look at the tooth. It will tell you the pitch and guage. Sometimes you might need to rotate the chain on your chain saw bar to be able to read the numbers. If you are still unsure then take the worn out chain in and tell them to replace it. The technician will quickly be able to determine pitch and size. Many tech's don't speak much about pitch because they only carry one or two because that is the greatest need. Manufacturers of Chain Saw ChainsKeep in mind Oregon, TriLink, GB all make changes that work on different machines like: stihl chain saw chains, Homelite chain saw chains, and even a Poulan chain saw. Our local shop carries Echo chain saws and I can purchase chains for any brand of chain saw as long as the chain saw blade is the same guage as my current chain. Purchasing online can be cheaper when you consider the price of gas but it can be outweighed if you are already visiting that shop or shipping charges. Make sure and check out the shipping charges before you purchase online. Some of the better places to purchase cheap chain saw chains are:
