[QUOTE="Jim Timber, post: 5078044, member: 83753"] Actually, the .050 is narrower and has more room in the kerf so there's less parasitic drag. But the reality is we're talking about 4 hairs width difference - could you pass a blind test on a saw between .050 and .058 - or be able to say "this saw has .058" by merely running it? I know I couldn't, so I run what I can get. 20" and under is .050 around here, and 24" is .058. Even so, I still order most of my chains. I buy local if I need a replacement in a hurry, but lately I've just resorted to buying extra loops when ordering. [/QUOTE]
