is this the correct chain for me?

can anyone tell me if the chain in the link below will fit my 16" dolmar ps-410? the gauge and pitch are all the same but it doesn't say anywhere that it is 16", cheers, Liam.

I could be wrong but I reckon it's for a 15" bar. For 16", you'd need 67 drive links.

Some useful information here on identifying the correct chain for your saw - most of what you need will be stamped on your bar:

 

Chain | bar | sprocket identification

 

You might also want to compare the price (go to the custom chain loops tab and enter your spec. then type in the number of drive links you need in the box).

seen lots of 15" with the correct gauge and pitch that I need, I wonder if I have measured the bar wrong, does anyone know if the ps-410 dolmar is 15 or 16"? cheers

i have used the custom drop down and a chain the my saw is only £11, not sure about delivery though.

on my bar it has;325-64 1.3/ .050

414-038 141

 

surely if all the numbers match up and it has 64 drive links it should fit, so i'm wondering if it is a 15" and i have measuered it wrong.

As per other thread, measuring the bar with a tape is irrelevant, for instance a stihl 16" bar comes up longer than a dolmar 16" one... Your bar has the number of drive links stamped on it - 64; .325 pitch, .050 gauge, comes in a variety of forms, full chisel (28lpx), semi chisel, micro chisel etc... Dolmars bars are shorter irrespective of the official length hence the fewer drive links.

Had a quick look round and a 'Dolmar' site gives 14" & 16" bars for the 410 / 411. But on the 'Makita' site, it gives 33cm (13") & 38cm (15) bars for the 410 / 411.

 

If it reads 15 on your bar, I'd go with that and the 64 links.

i measured the bar again this morning and it is cos to 15 than it is to 16" so have ordered a 15" oregan chain. it doesnt have on the bar what length it actually is either, cheers.

If you've ordered insufficient drive links don't blame me!
