Stihl Racer said:When we're dealing with chain from stihl, theres a few sizes, 1/4, .325, 3/8, .404, and 1/2. As said in the first reply this refers to the distance from the centre of one rivet to the next on one link of chain. So if its 1/4 chain, thats a quarter inch from rivet to rivet. .325 means there is .325 of an inch and so on. So the longer the links the meatier the tooth will be for heavier cuttin, thats why little saw like MS190, MS260....etc have .325, and larger like MS361, 460 etc have bigger, bigger saw=bigger chain=faster cuts with biger chips.
I don't think it would make much sense to try 3/8" on those saws.semi said:Husky saw 350 or 353, cutting trees, and firewood. that will be the application.
