Chainsaw Mix N Match

[adam_coverdale]

Hi all,

 

Noob question.

 

Can you mix and match chainsaw bars and chains.

 

I.e. can you use different size bars with chains on the same motor?

 

Cheers,

 

Adam

Of course.

 

Provided:

 

A: They fit

 

and

 

B: They are within the manufacturers recommended length guidelines for the particular saw.

 

However- if you are asking "will any saw/chain combination fit any saw" then the simple answer is no.

As has been stated by pleasant there are many options avliable on most pro saws . Oregon manufacture a bar with xxxxxx09 as part of its part number . This bar will fit allot of saws in various sizes, pitches, and gauges . The main thing to be sure of is that the oiler outlet on the saw body lines up with the in feed hole in the bar . Look up on the Oregon site for options for your saw .

They will fit, as long as...

 

• The chain pitch (typically 3/8", 3/8" Low Profile, .325") must match the chainsaw sprocket as well as the nose-wheel of the bar
  
• The drive link gauge of the chain must match the gauge of the bar (typically 1.3mm = .050", 1.5mm = .058" or 1.6mm = .063")
  
• The bar must match the chainsaw mounts and oiler holes must line up
