Whether you are a homeowner or a professional, the right 3/8LP saw chains will keep your chain saw sharp and running smoothly. They come in a variety of sizes, which allow you to find the perfect chain for your needs.

Chainsaw chains come with a number of features designed to keep the lubricant on the chain. Some of these features are the number of links on the chain, the gauge measurement, and the pitch. You can find these details on your tool, in your user manual, or by measuring the thickness of the chain drive links with calipers.

You may be wondering how the gauge measurement works. Typically, this is displayed on the user end of the guide bar. The gauge measurement is a measurement of the thickness of the chain drive links along the length of the chain. If the chain drive links are excessively worn, measuring the gauge may be difficult. This is because the drive links fit into the guide bar.

The gauge measurement may be mixed in with other numbers. It is not normally visible on the tool. If it is visible, it can be easily measured. To find the gauge measurement, you can use an accurate caliper. However, you may not have one. Some toolmen may be able to recognize the gauge measurement by sight. If you are unable to measure the gauge measurement, you may need to visit a chain dealer.

If you are looking for a chainsaw chain that will keep you sharp for a long time, look for a self-sharpening chain. These chains have special features that keep the teeth filed, which will keep the chain sharper longer. This can save you time from frequent trips to the chain shop.
