Where to get a chain...

[Southern Boy]

I'm still trying to get all of my parts rounded up for my saw and am trying to locate a good chain for milling and ripping up logs. I've read were a lot of you guys recommend Granberg. I hope I'm not :deadhorse: here, but you guys are the best source of info. I've called all my local shops and the only thing I can get locally is a chisel chain. Point me in the right direction and what should I expect to pay? Remember, I'm just starting and and don't have to have the very best...yet.

Thanks!

Chain

I use Bailey's ripping chain and have had good luck, .22 per link makes a 28" loop for $18 ish. Hit he Bailey's link above and look for milling chain on their sight.

If youre looking for a granberg chain you can go to www.right-tool.com. Im not sure about the prices, I think the Baileys chains may be a little less expensive.

I checked the site and the prices range from .42 to .46 cents per drive link depending on your chain type.

OOppss. 20 cents per link! Pretty good deal.

Two Baileys for the one Granberg.Sounds like a good deal. I wonder how the two chains compare to one another?

Granberg chain

Just had one delivered today. 3/8, .050 for 36 inch bar - $62.00. I do have several from Bailey's so I will be able to compare. Have fun with this addiction!:hmm3grin2orange:

Thanks for the quick info. I was looking at Bailey's, but just wasn't sure. I'll give them a call.

Thanks!
