How Long Does a CHAINSAW CHAIN Last - When To REPLACE Chain

How long does a chainsaw chain last? Chainsaw chain life or when to replace a chainsaw chain is determined by the amount of material available, your chainsaw operation, and your ability to properly sharpen a chainsaw chain. The most expensive chainsaw operation comes from wasting and throwing away viable and usable chain unknowingly. When to sharpen a chainsaw.....When it's dull or not performing as intended. A cheap vs expensive chainsaw chain can or will be determined by your chainsaw practices but the best chainsaw for cutting firewood or any wood is a sharp chainsaw chain and I give a couple of things to think about and 1 or 2 chainsaw sharpening tips. So the answer to when to replace a chainsaw chain is when there's no more life left in it. This is also a response video to some good ole army hazing that I received from and old buddy to prove weather or not my little very used up chain can still provide value in my effort to cut firewood here on my little country homestead. Will I eat Crow or not?

I recently went through about 5-8 chains doing Brush Cleanup on a 720 foot fence. Took about 3-4 weeks and had 160 hours on the jobsite... I threw 2 chains and my dad threw more than I did but would changing chains everyday reduce downtime? Because I found myself and my dad spending most of that time just sharpening chains because they kept getting dull on the fence because we wanted to do a good job and cut it as close as we can... I may just stock up on 2 weeks of chains or so and change them everyday and just sharpen every 2 weeks... good idea or nah?

So if your chain is sitting for two years while you were deployed, should you change it even though it's still sharp? I just don't want the thing flying off at me. Still got tension between the chain and saw? Any advice would be appreciated.

Use speed 2 at 9:39 to get an amazing effect. Brian, looks like you need to apologize to all those chains you threw away. That's like throwing away ammo.

Hi I wish we had trees we could cut down here. But we will be looking for some dead trees I don't know if we would need a chainsaw for those though.

@3basketliving 5 жыл бұрын

I would think a small saw would be handy anyway. You may find yourself getting some big timbers that you need to get thru as well not to mention cut through some walls for a quick fire escape. LoL

So for a 14" bar on my stihl ms171. Every tank of gas I'm no longer getting chips I'm getting dust. Sharpen every tank? Is that a good rule of thumb?

@3basketliving 3 жыл бұрын

Sharpening every tank sounds like a little much to me. If your getting dust then I'm thinking that your rakes / guides are too high. I hit my rakes about every other sharpening. Just my opinion.

If you were cutting daily for 2 hours, and not damaging by hitting steel or rock, sharpeninh once a week, how long will a chain last? I ask because I can get chains at half price now so I'm trying to figure how many to buy.

@3basketliving 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on how much cutting you're doing. Heads Up though!.....You can buy cheap chain from cheaper steel that will Stretch fairly easy and render that chain useless once you reach your saw tension adjustment limit. Keep that in mind.

Forgot: if you're serious about cutting, get rid of that safety ( not really safe ) chain. A yellow link non safety chain will cut faster with the right skill and experience. Know how fast a femoral artery slice will bleed out ? JMNSHO
