Bailey's sells Oregon and ships abroad. Foreign credit cards might be a bit tricky, but they take PayPal if you could set up that. I think this is what you were looking for:

thats what i want but with 3/8" pitch not 0.375" i sent thm an email.

 

[weisyboy]

boy im a moron. .375 is 3/8 serves me right for not paying atention in high chool maths. or primary school for that matter.

However, to complicate it further, you might be more right then you think, or at least not completely wrong... Standard 3/8 is called often 375, and 3/8 low profile is often called 365, but that's just to be able to distinguish them from each other, I'm told they both actually measure 367...

they both run on the same sproket thow so it should not matter. it is jsut the bar grove that is diferent.

No, there's more to it so they can't use the same sprocket, not well and safe:

They do have the same distance between the rivets, hence they're both 3/8 chains, but if you use a spur sprocket where the chain rides on the drive tangs you can see on the tangs that they are incompatibly different.

And if you use a rim the chain rides it on the chassis of the chain links and since the chassis is smaller on the low profile, the rim would have to be of different circumreference. You can fit it, but it reportedly makes ugly noises, makes more wear too fast, and I don't recall if the operator testing it reported about throwing or breaking chains, but either or both will probably happen.

I just posted the other day about this: LINK

so the question is can i run 3/8" lo chain on my 034Av that normaly runs regular 3/8" chain.

i have 3/8lo on my 170so will check it out tomorow.

 

[maccall]

Yeah, just be a little extra careful, and report back!

BTW, you're not running the Picco Micro Mini/Narrow on the 170 then? If so then it's also only .043/1.1 gauge and the fit would be even worse, not for the sprocket, but for the bar.

i am running what came standard on the saw.

3/8" L/O pitch, 0.050" gauge stihl chain. not sure what they call it but it rips really fast. i use the saw for cutting stay holes and morticesor rails on the fences we do.

i have emailed teh boys at balies about what i ned to do it and they seem to think it can be done.
