Converting Both Saws to 3/8" or .325"

[Agent Orange]

I've got two saws, MS250 and MS362C, convert both to 3/8" or .325"? I prefer Stihl chains and right now both are running .63 width drivers. I'd like to be able to share chains 16"-18".

I own two bars for the 250 in .325" , one 16" and one 18". 4 chains in .325 for the 250. I own one bar for the 362 in 3/8", a 20". I've got a 16" bar and two chains coming for the 362.

Keep what I've got our sell one setup and simplify things? I'm just a firewood hack, no pro cutting.

the 250 wont pull 3/8 & running .325 on the 362 would be steping down. Keep the setup you have.

I agree, keep what you have. Switching one saw to the others chain setup would give it a handicap.

I'd at least wear out what you've got I can't toss a good anything

the 250 will cut faster wearing 3/8 low profile chain.

Stick with what you've got.

I like the picco on the 025 saws.

I appreciate the input fellas, looks like I'll stay with what I have.

A loop of 63ps works wonders.

 

[sunfish]

Yep, stay with what ya got. I see no reason both saws should share chains?

Agree with the above ...
and a 16" chain (62dl) for a 025 will not fit a 16" bar on a 362, 026 or any other 3003 saw they are 67dl.

a 18" chain (68 dl)on the 025 may fit the 3003 bar when it is new but after some stretch it will not tension ...ask me how I know
