Choose Your Chain

To work out the pitch of a chainsaw chain you need the measure the distance between the centre of any three consecutive rivets on the side of the chain and divide this by two. The measurement needs to be calculated in inches and will be either 1/4", 3/8", .325" or .404". Alternatively you may find this information stamped on the side of the chain or guide bar. If you have your manual to hand, you'll find the information in there too.
