Duke's saw chain

[WI_Hedgehog]

We had 32°C last Saturday, I do not look forward to this years summer!

Huge rain storm pummeling the house/roof right now, temps still above 20°C.
C R A Z Y !

It's snowing ice here, 7" of actual snow to follow.

.050" = 1.3mm
.058" = 1.5mm
.063" = 1.6mm

Although as a metal worker I believe that every added tenth millimeter of steel ads strength , the chain gauge mess is pure manufacturer marketing nonsense.

Yes, the difference between .050" and .063" is noticeable, but it is not necessarily significant depending on the intended application.

I don't understand metric, or Celsius

Don't worry pal, I don't understand that "other" measuring system (10 laundry machines widths, or something like that) nor Fahrenheit!

I do know what a 50 cal is though.

What I wanted to say was, pro chain gauges is splitting hair!

 

[Motorka]

we need .058 not .050

 

[Wilhelm]

I run almost exclusively .058"/1.5mm!

 

[Woodwater]

Celsius is easy! 0°Celsius is the Temperature where water beginns to freeze or Ice beginns to melt.

but in the end easy is with what you growing up.

I have heard that .063” fits closer. Also that it clears chips better.

 

[Motorka]

in europe you can only buy bars .325 in .050 or ,058 3/8 in.058

 

[Woodwater]

Yes we are very limited in this section.

To me durability is the main thing.

I cut a mess of wood yesterday but the dukes never made it off the truck, oops.

Here I thought I had inside information to really get "MORE POWER" out of a saw.
I actually assumed it was a tank for an air bubble so you could blow off your saws and air filter as needed.

I reckon I could use it for that too.
