I could. I would have to adjust the oiler hole, but I prefer the 18 on that saw. Balance is nice.Or just put one of the 20" bars on the 350

I'm not sure who makes Huskys chain, so I'd be inclined to only mix the Oregon stuff. @Philbert may have some more insight, I believe he has quite the collection of presets & tie straps for the multitude of chains he works on
Oregon used to make all of the Husqvarna chain (just put the 'Husq' name on it). A few years back, Husqvarna started making their own. So older stuff is likely the same, and the newer stuff is likely compatible, but may not be identical.I'm not sure who makes Huskys chain, so I'd be inclined to only mix the Oregon stuff. @Philbert may have some more insight, I believe he has quite the collection of presets & tie straps for the multitude of chains he works on
Short answer is 'Yes': IF the parts are identical. You don't realize all the variations between chain components, even if they are the same pitch, same gauge, and same manufacturer until you start doing this!But out of curiosity, could you splice 2 used chains together? Like say you wanted to make a 28" chain out of 2 20" chains?
I have a BUNCH of chains and it would be awesome to just make the ones I actually use out of the pile of odd-balls..
I'd refer to Philberts comments above & note that while they may fit, Stihl & Oregon are completely independent manufacturers so it's unlikely that they are actually the same. At very least I'd be getting the micrometer out to evaluate any differencesI haven't used my chain spinner much, yet. But I will say that the 3/8 Oregon Presets fit into the 3/8 Stihl drivers and the fit was perfect.
Yes. Shortening just removes links.Shortening them sounds easy enough if you find the right presets, lengthening them or splicing together, a bit more complicated.
Kinda what I figured.
