Chainsaw chains can become damaged and, if they do, it’s essential to replace them immediately to prevent injury and further damage to your chainsaw. At Tudor Environmental, we prioritise safety when working with power tools, which is why we offer only high quality chainsaw chains that are both durable and reliable. Our replacement chainsaw chains are built to withstand tough cutting conditions and deliver optimal performance every time.
You can tell if your chainsaw chain is worn out by looking for a few signs. If it makes fine sawdust instead of large chips, it’s probably dull. The chain might also struggle to cut through wood and need more force. Broken or bent teeth, or burred drive links that don’t fit properly on the bar, are also clear signs of wear. If the chain has been sharpened many times, the cutter teeth may be too short. Lastly, if the chainsaw chain is loose or keeps coming off the bar, it might be time to replace it.
For occasional users, sharpening is a cost-effective and practical choice, as it can extend the life of a chain without the expense of constantly buying new ones. If the chainsaw chain is still structurally sound and the teeth are not excessively damaged, sharpening can restore it to near-original performance.
However, if the chain has been severely damaged (e.g. from hitting nails or stones), or if it's been sharpened multiple times, replacing the chain may be the better option. In professional settings, arborists often swap out chains to maintain productivity, especially if they're cutting all day.
To find the right chain for your chainsaw, you need to know the gauge and pitch, which depend on your chainsaw model. You also need to count the drive links (the teeth on the underside of the chain). You can do this by sticking a piece of tape on the first link and counting all the links around the chain.
