How to correctly measure the length of a chainsaw bar?
There is a wide selection of guides for gasoline-powered chain saws in stores, but there are several parameters according to which they need to be selected:
- groove width;
- tire size;
- shank;
- driven sprocket pitch.
The main one is the canvas parameters. Its length directly indicates the depth of immersion into the workpiece when cutting. In addition, the appropriate chain is selected in relation to the size.
By default it is designated in inches. The value is indicated on the blade itself, closer to the shank.
When contacting a specialized store, consultants will definitely tell you which part is best to take in accordance with the tasks for the chain saw. The values indicated in the table below are considered standard and determine the number of links in the installed chain.
For household appliances, it is not recommended to install a canvas more than 45 cm in length. This will increase the load on the engine and reduce the service life of the device.Some unscrupulous suppliers complete the tool with a saw blade with large parameters in order to attract the attention of buyers, but this is wrong.
If you install a 38 cm guide on such a saw, it will work much faster and easier.
How to determine the length of a chainsaw bar?
The cutting part is not the entire length of the saw blade. The distance is measured from the front of the tool body to the rounded tip of the chain mounted on the bar. The resulting value is rounded to centimeters or inches, it is equal to 2.54 cm. Next, use the table below to calculate which size is suitable for a particular tool.
If, when going to the store, you doubt your ability to accurately determine the size of the chainsaw bar, take the tool with you or provide the consultant with a passport for the product, which usually indicates the main parameters.
