Quick answers

Which chain fits my saw?

Check the pitch, gauge and drive link count stamped on your bar or printed on your old chain's box. Not sure? The Chain Finder takes about 30 seconds, or send us a photo of your bar markings and we'll point you at the right chain.

How long between sharpens?

Up to 10 times longer between sharpening than standard chains (when maintained). Keep it tensioned and oiled and it'll look after you. Rocks and fence wire will still chip carbide, same as any chain.

How do I sharpen a carbide chain?

With a diamond wheel or a diamond file. A normal round file won't cut carbide. We sell a 145mm diamond wheel for the job.

What does shipping cost?

Flat $10 shipping Australia-wide, free over $299.

Tungsten carbide chainsaw chains, and how to pick the right one

Up to 10 times longer between sharpens

Every cutter on these chains has a tungsten carbide tip brazed on. Carbide is a lot harder than the steel on a standard chain, so the edge holds up in dry hardwood and dirty logs. In the same conditions they go up to 10 times longer between sharpening than standard chains (when maintained). You'll still need to sharpen them eventually, and when you do, use a diamond wheel or diamond file. A round file won't touch carbide. Keep the chain tensioned and oiled and it'll look after you. Rocks and fence wire will still chip it, same as any chain.

Match pitch, gauge and drive links

Three numbers decide whether a chain fits, and they're usually stamped on the bar near the mount. Pitch is the spacing between the rivets. 3/8 and .325 cover most farm saws, and .404 is for the big ones. Gauge is the thickness of the drive link that rides in the bar groove. Most Stihl 3/8 setups run .063" (1.6mm), and most Husqvarna 3/8 setups run .058" (1.5mm). Smaller saws often take low-profile chain on .050" (1.3mm) or .043" (1.1mm). Then count the drive links, or read the number off your old chain's box. If the stamp's worn off, the Chain Finder will get you there, or send us a photo and we'll work it out.
