Saw Chain Gauge!

[treemanbrisbane]

The way I was told by an ancient old, now gone to is reward, Mac dealer was that you were supposed to start with a .050. As the bar wore you went to a .058 and later to an .063. I think I know exactly one guy that ever did that.

...except that the bottom of the groove stays the same width, nearly. It would be pretty hard on the saw going for that much of a difference.

I'd stick with one gauge if you could.

Sounds like good advice. For me it's one for small saws and one for big saws. It just makes it annoying working out what to do with a stihl ms230. Oh, and polesaws. Ok, three guages and that's my limit.

I'm just telling it like I was told. The information is worth just what you paid for it.
