Can't seem to find a chain for echo cs-590, 18 inch bar. Can anyone help?

[spruce488]

Recently picked up a cs-590. I'm beginning to regret getting the 18 bar. It calls for an 3/8 pitch, .50 gauge, 64 drive link chain. I'm looking w for a semi chisel chain and finding one with 64 links seems damn near impossible. Any suggestions on where to get one, or do I need a whole new bar with more common specs ?

Find a Stihl, Husqvarna or echo dealer, tell them what you need. A good dealer Will make you a chain any dl you want.

Nice. I didn't think of that, thanks. I did see custom link sized chains on baileys website, But would rather not wait for shipping.

How is bailey's, anyway?

A rip off! They want almost $20 for a 64dl loop.
This is where I get most of my chain. Gregg and the crew are good folks. $13

I used to love Bailey's but the shipping became a bit slow, and they have had Security issues as well.

Chain prices have gone up, $20 is around what I pay locally, most dealers are around $25 for a 72dl RS chain these days.

If your wanting semi chisel, Ive got some of the original Homelite/John Deere American Made Sabre semi chisel 880 chain. 3/8 x .050. You will need to be certain of your drive link count for that 18in bar. An Echo 20 inch bar I know to be 70dl, but an 18 in bar for that model Im not sure. Ive also got an older 20in used Oregon bar to fit the Echo if you want to give that a go? If your interested, send me a Private Message and we can go from there.

if you have a dolmar dealer there they should have that chain in stock, same thing on there 18" bars.

Normal prices for me.What I might add is getting right away 2-4 spare chains. That way you can easily rotate and have enough at hand for the next years. I usually have 3-5 chains per bar length at hand.

Easy! http://loggerchain.com/72DPX064G-Oregon-Semi-chisel-chainsaw-chain-64-DL-3-8-050-72DPX064G.htm
This is where I get the chain I need. They have it all, at great prices & bout two days to get here..

I doubt there is a 64 DL chain for sale around here locally.
