Husqvarna 3/8 in x .063 Chainsaw Blade and Chain

If you are shopping for a chainsaw blade Husqvarna big saws can pull on a long bar, this is it: 3/8 in pitch chain in heavy .063 gauge. It suits large-displacement saws and long bars, including 36 inch chainsaw bar and chain setups for big wood.

Who needs .063 gauge

Gauge is the thickness of the drive links where they ride in the bar groove. Most saws run .050 or .058, but many long bars for big saws use .063. This chain is for those bars, typically on 80 cc and larger saws used for felling and bucking large trees.

For a 36 inch chainsaw chain, match the drive link count stamped on your bar. A wrong count will not tension correctly, and the wrong gauge will either bind or wobble in the groove.

Long bars are common for felling large trees, bucking big rounds, and milling. A 36 in bar on a powerful saw lets you cut big stems from one side and reach through wide trunks, but it also demands a sharp, correctly matched chain to keep the saw pulling.

Running a long bar

Keep the oiler set high and check that oil reaches the nose. File every cutter evenly, since a chain that pulls to one side on a 36 in bar wanders badly in the cut. Wear full chainsaw PPE and plan escape routes before felling. Browse more chainsaw chain for other sizes.

Check chain tension often, since long chain stretches more, and keep tension right when the chain is warm. Store long loops coiled in a sealed bag with a little bar oil to keep them from rusting.
