What file size for this chain?

[difflock]

I used a 4.8mm same as for the .325 chain on my wee 026, and took the depth guides down using the guide for my .325 chain.

It seems to be cutting OK.

Did I miss anything?

Is this the best chain for this saw?

Wot size off chain is it thou?

 

On 1.3mm guage it could either be 3/8s Pico or the newer 325 xcut chain..

The 325 xcut chain ideas normal 325 file, while the 3/8s Pico will be a smaller 4mm file.

Guessing it will be 3/8s Pico as I think narrow 325 is quite a new size.

The raker guage will depend which depth it is .25 or .35, but shouldn't matter wot pitch it is

 

I like that new 325 narrow chain  on my 550 and 560 but got a few smaller saws on 3/8s Pico and it cuts well too if u keep them sharp

Probably a .325 1.3mm chain. What number are stamped on the drive links?

 

[difflock]

Apologies for the delay.

30 on the drive links, and "Husqv".

Bar is marked .325-64 DW

Cheers

If something is cutting and feels OK it is generally right, but your bar though should be stamped with exact specification and as has been mentioned the drive link on your chain will have a number on it that corresponds exactly to the right file size hope this helps Essexlogman!

If it cuts OK then to me it is doing the job.

Erm, and look where I found it!

Hi, I remembered this thread from before when I had a similar id problem....there's a chart on the 3rd page that might help, if this isn't any good there's a whole pile of charts on images.

Probably due to computer illiteracy/incompetance,

but I had idly tried googling a few times this week without success,

then whatever slightly different way I worded my question just then, and

 "BINGO!"

thanks

Very glad to make your day, I've got a few older saws and I remember 1 of the Huskys had a similarly marked chain that defied online id.... sometimes you've just got to measure the chain and guess at the file size....I recommend enjoying a drink 😄
