Buying Guide
What to check before buying a replacement chain
- Bar length and compatibility: Ensure the chain matches your saw’s bar length (8″, 6″, 14″, 20″ etc.).
- Pitch and gauge: Match the chain’s pitch (distance between drive links) and gauge (thickness) to the bar and drive sprocket.
- Drive links: Count the drive links on your current chain to select the correct replacement count.
- Intended use: Choose semi-chisel for general wood cutting and ease of filing; choose low kickback designs for safety on smaller saws.
- Installation: Some chains require precise orientation and tensioning after installation. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance.
