Choosing the Right 325 Pitch Chainsaw Chain Size

The right chainsaw chain size is a crucial part of maximizing your machine's performance and cutting capabilities. Choosing the wrong chain size can result in your saw having to work harder or not cutting properly. You can easily avoid these problems by understanding a bit about the different types of chains and their sizes, as well as what each type of chain is designed to do.

A chainsaw is a tool used by professional and non-professional users alike for a variety of applications. It is a very useful tool for homeowners, landscapers, and farmers to have on hand for clearing land or trimming trees and bushes. However, choosing the best chainsaw for the job can be a daunting task with so many options on the market. The type of wood you're cutting, how often you plan to use the chainsaw, and what your specific power needs are all factors that go into determining which chain will be most effective for your job.

When you're looking for a new chain, the first thing you'll need to determine is its size. Specifically, you'll need to know what gauge it has as well as the pitch. These measurements are important because the corresponding number of drive links, also called drive lugs, determines the chain's length.

Once you've determined your chainsaw's size, you can then choose the appropriate gauge and pitch for your project. Most chainsaws have a specific chain size that they are designed to cut with and this is typically indicated by the numbers on the side of the drive link. The number will match a specific gauge and pitch combination so that the chain fits your saw correctly. It's important to note that if you're replacing a worn chain, the chain size you need is usually stamped in the center of the drive link near the tip of the blade.

There are some chainsaws that can handle a wider range of sizes, and if you're replacing a chain that isn't the original size of your machine, you may want to look for a replacement with a different gauge and pitch. You can also find a wide range of specialty chains that are designed for more specific tasks, such as pruning and bucking.
