If you count the drive links you can pick any chain here Custom chain loops

 

 

If you're not sure which part are the drive links they are the bits that sit inside the bar... and there are links on the above page to help ID the chain you have,

 

 

 

:001_smile:

 

yeah I know that, its 50 drive links.

 

Was just looking for opinions on type of chain and chisel type etc.

 

Cheers

Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know if you can get skip tooth chain in 3/8 .063 in the uk ? Or rob could you possibly make one up?

 

If you know you are hijacking the thread, why do it? :confused1: Why not just create a new post?

Given the fact that you (probably) have a 1.1 mm (0.043") kerf bar, you will not have much choice. It's semi-chisel or semi-chisel (Stihl or Oregon). And given those choices, I doubt anyone would recommend anything but Stihl!

 

If you want to have the choice of full chisel, you'd need a 1.3 mm (0.05") kerf bar, which would be 12" (or longer).

It is 1.3 mm at the moment.

OK, if the question is about semi-chisel vs full-chisel on a top handle saw (I guess it's not a Stihl or Husqvarna, given it's 10" 1.3 mm/0.05"), have a look at this thread discussing the subject (after the Stihl MS201T started shipping with full-chisel chain) http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/31191-new-ms201t-chain-what-do-you-think.html
