What are the characteristics and applications of 1/4'' Saw Chains?

1. Standardized Pitch and Thickness:

The 1/4'' (6.35mm) pitch is a common specification for small chainsaws. Common thicknesses are .043in (approximately 1.1mm) and .050in (approximately 1.3mm). The former is suitable for light-duty work, while the latter can withstand greater cutting forces.

2. High-Strength Alloy Steel Material:

1/4'' Saw Chains are made of 68CrNiMo3 alloy steel, possessing excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, maintaining sharpness and stability under high loads.

3. Versatile Application:

.043in chains are commonly used for precision cutting in garden pruning machines and handheld chainsaws; .050in chains are suitable for medium or heavy-duty chainsaws, logging machines, and other applications requiring greater cutting forces.

4. Matching with Guide Plates:

1/4'' pitch chains can only be used with guide plates of the same pitch to ensure even chain tension, smooth operation, and prevent slippage or breakage.
