What is a .404" saw chain?

Definition and Specifications:
A .404" saw chain is designed for heavy-duty cutting tasks. The "404" in its name refers to the chain pitch, which is the distance between any three rivets in the chain divided by two, specifically 0.404 inches. This type of saw chain is typically used with large chainsaws and suitable for heavy-duty operations requiring strong cutting force.
Variety of Gauges:
A .404" saw chain typically has a gauge of around 0.063" or 0.080", making it thicker than the more common 3/8" saw chain. This variety of gauges allows the saw chain to adapt to different cutting needs, providing greater durability and cutting power.
Materials and Craftsmanship:
Hengjiu Machinery Group manufactures .404" saw chains using high-quality materials and advanced craftsmanship, ensuring the saw chain's high strength and durability. For example, a .063-inch saw chain uses 68CrNiMo3 blade material with a thickness of 1.6mm, while a .080-inch saw chain also uses 68CrNiMo3 blade material with a thickness of 2.0mm.
