what tip did you put on? the ones I've seen on the tsumuras have four rivets for the sprocket nose.

Yep, the 3/8 do but at least so far the .325 are 6. This is the 2nd bar I’ve switched and both came as 4 pin 3/8. I’ve gotten 4 tips (2 spares) and all have 6 pin.
By the way if anyone wants a pair of 3/8 .063 tips just paypal me the stamp and I’ll give them to ya. I don’t have rivets though.

I didn't realize the tips were chain gauge specific. I the the tips were just .325, 3/8, etc...

Different part numbers. Makes sense though. Different pitch means different spacing between links which in turn means different number of teeth on the same diameter sprocket or different diameters of sprockets with the same number of teeth.
All that said, I never actually held the two up to each other to see the difference.

And it looks like I got a taker for the 3/8 tips. Great to wake up to that!

3/8 vs .325

 

[RI Chevy]

Cool. TY
Looks like the pins should be the other way around. 3/8 should be 6 pins, 325 4 pins. Lol

They used to do the tips in 6 rivet in 3/8 too.

on my two 3/8 tsumura bars, one lightweight and one standard, .05 and .058 gauge use the same tip. both numbers are on the nose.

Ha! Yeah I guess the statement was about width wasn't it. I saw the .325 3/8 so my mind went to pitch and off I went!
These two I'm getting ready to send out do have .063 stamped in them and the PN ends with 34 instead of 84. I would think 058 and 062 would share more so than 050 and 058.
