10' Chains and bars for ECHO CS-2511TES

[kram]

I have a couple of spare new Echo 10" carving bars in 0.050" gauge that I bought by mistake, I'm never going to use them as I like 0.043".

 

Today I was converting two packs of 5 cheapy chains into five 60DL for the 2511. I have used them before on the cordless so I know quality is ok. The only issue is that master links are not available anywhere so I have had to reuse them. I could turn some new pins on the lathe but until one fails I cant say its worth the extra effort.

Ordered a couple more packs of the cheapy chains as I like having lots of spares.

You know if you take the stihl bar and put it along side the echo bar and mark the tensioner hole drill the stihl so a standard stihl chain fits right on… which is available pretty much anywhere and saves the hassle of finding chains with the extra DL is what I’ve been doing.

Or just buy Stihl chains with 57 drive links.

There is nowhere within a drive down here that sells the chains anyway, so I always order a few at a time.

You know that stihl chains are available in 60DL? Does cost a few quid more though.
