Chairin'em for the sound
0.063 is a larger number than 0.050. It must be stronger, tougher, manlier and overall better in every way. What bar and saw are we talkin bout anyway?

That's what I'm trying to say. Some chain has drivers that are necked down from 63 or 58. Some chain has drivers that are 50 all the way up to the rivet holes.Well, some times there is only the drive tangs that are different.
As far as I know it is not this way with Oregon chain, but I suspect it is with Stihl? I have no idea regarding other brands....

So all I am getting at here is that chain that is 63 around the rivet holes should be stronger than chain that is 50 around the rivet holes.
these are my thoughts as well.
Maybe you could get some of your termites to clear out those chips for you?Yep. I have had chips packed that tight in an .050" bar groove that you are hard pressed to move them with a paint scraper.
Ordered a 28" bar in .058 assuming this was standard for our Husky 365. The Oregon chain selector for LGX and LPX says it's a 92 drive link chain, yet the same chains in .050 and .063 are 93 drive link. What explains the difference?
.063" will carry more oil down the bar channel. I like running it on 28" and up bars.
Will smooth .063 oregon drivers carry as much oil down a 28" bar channel as a dimpled .050 stihl oilomatic driver?
That makes no sense to me. The number of dl are determined by the pitch, not the gauge.
The holes in some drive links are also supposed to help carry oil around the bar, as well as the dimpled tie straps.Will smooth .063 oregon drivers carry as much oil down a 28" bar channel as a dimpled .050 stihl oilomatic driver?
