Full Boar 14" Chainsaw chain size chart
| Bar length | Pitch | Gauge | Drive links | Chain type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14" | 3/8 LP | .050 (1.3mm) | 52 | Low profile |
Homeowner class, nullcc. Pitch is the spacing between the drive links and gauge is the thickness of the drive link that sits in the bar groove. You need the pitch, the gauge and the drive-link count all correct for a chain to fit.
The chain we recommend for the 14" Chainsaw
For the 14" Chainsaw, we recommend our 3/8" low-profile .050 (1.3mm) tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide holds its edge up to 10x longer than a standard chain (when maintained), so it keeps cutting through dry, dirty Australian hardwood that blunts an ordinary chain fast. Match the pitch, gauge and drive-link count from the table above and you are good to go.
Tungsten carbide chain must be sharpened with a diamond wheel or diamond file. A standard round file will not touch carbide.
How to make sure the chain fits
The safest check is the drive-link count. Lay out your old chain and count the drive links (the teeth that sit down inside the bar), or read the numbers stamped on your bar. Bar length alone is not enough, two saws with an 18 inch bar can take different drive-link counts. If in doubt, use the Chain Finder or send us a photo of your bar and we will confirm it.
Looking for a guide bar too?
Chain size and bar fitment are two different things. A guide bar has to match your saw's bar mount, the stud and slot pattern where the bar bolts on, and that changes between makes and even between models from the same make. Chain size alone does not tell you which bar fits. Before you order a bar, check your saw against our Bar Mount Guide and confirm your bar mount. If you are not sure, send us your saw model and we will confirm it before you buy.
