Choosing a 325 Pitch Chainsaw Chain

Author:admin   Date:01-07-2023
Chainsaws are a great tool for cutting down trees and felling logs. They can also be used for pruning and limbing. Regardless of the task, it is important to choose the right chainsaw chain for your needs. Whether you’re looking for a low-vibration chain or one that’s easy to install, there are several options on the market.

If you’re unsure which chain to buy, here are some tips to help you make the best decision. The first step is to determine the size of your chainsaw. This can be done by checking the size of the bar groove on the guide bar and the number of drive links on your existing chain. Once you have this information, you can match it with a chainsaw file size chart to find the correct chain.

Using the wrong file size can cause the cutters to become dull, and it will also cause the chain to work harder than necessary. This can lead to shortened chain life and poor cutting quality. It’s also important to use the proper amount of grease on your saw chain to ensure that it functions properly.

When choosing a 325 pitch chainsaw chain, it’s essential to take the time to find the correct size for your specific application. For example, if you’re doing a lot of felling and crosscutting, you’ll need to purchase a higher-duty chain. However, if you’re primarily doing limbing and firewood cutting, you’ll want to opt for a lighter-duty chain.

A good tip is to use the plastic roll available from Stihl or Oregon to measure your clutch, chain, file, and bar. This will help you keep track of these measurements as well as the length of your chain. The plastic roll can be wiped clean and is a handy way to check the chainsaw file size without having to look at your guide bar.

STIHL offers a range of green-labeled, reduced kickback chains to fit various chainsaws. If you’re replacing your current chain, be sure to check the ANSI B175.1 safety standard requirements for gasoline powered chainsaws to avoid potential injury.

This 325-pitch saw chain features Micro-Chisel(tm) cutters and bumper drive links that reduce kickback, making it ideal for medium sized high-performance chainsaws. The bumper drive links have oil holes that carry oil the full length of the bar’s groove for a more consistent lubrication. This chain also comes with a patented low-vibration chassis design that reduces handle vibration by 25%.

Before purchasing a 325-pitch chainsaw chain, you must ensure that it is the correct size for your Stihl or Oregon chainsaw. The chain’s side should feature a file size and chain pitch number, which can be used to compare it with the Stihl or Oregon chainsaw file size chart. It’s also important to count the number of drive lugs on your existing chain to ensure that it fits. It’s also recommended to lubricate your chain with the proper oil before starting to cut.
