Overview
This replacement saw chain is built to OEM pitch and gauge specifications, delivering clean cuts and reliable performance as an aftermarket alternative. When your factory chain is dull beyond sharpening or has stretched past the tensioner’s range, dropping in a fresh loop is the fastest way to restore cutting efficiency.
Key specifications
- Pitch: .325”
- Gauge: .058”
- Cutter type: semi-chisel
- Material: chrome-plated cutters on hardened steel
Compatibility
Works with any saw that calls for the same pitch and gauge ratings. Check the compatibility chart and match the numbers to the markings stamped on your existing chain or printed in your saw’s manual.
Installation notes
Loosen the bar nuts and release chain tension. Remove the side cover and lift the bar and old chain off the saw. Loop the new chain around the bar groove with the cutters facing forward on the top edge, then drape it over the drive sprocket. Reinstall the bar and cover, adjust the tensioner until the chain snaps back when pulled from the bar underside, and tighten the bar nuts.
Common questions
Q: Will these 0.325 preset tie strap sets fit any 0.325 saw chain, or do I need to match the exact chain type?
You need to match more than just the .325 pitch. These joining repair preset tie strap sets are intended for .325 pitch chain, but you should also confirm the chain series and gauge so the repaired section matches the rest of your chain correctly. If your chain is .325 pitch and uses the same style preset tie straps, these sets are the right type for chain repair.
Q: Are these 25 sets enough to reconnect broken saw chain loops, and what exactly is included in one set?
Yes, these are meant for joining or repairing chain loops, with each set used to reconnect a chain at one repair point. A preset tie strap set typically gives you the matched outer tie strap components needed for a proper riveted connection, but you’ll still need the correct spinner/peening tool to install them securely.
Q: Can I install these 0.325 joining repair preset tie straps myself, or do I need a chain breaker and rivet tool?
For a reliable repair, you should use a saw chain breaker and rivet spinner rather than trying to hammer them in by hand. After installation, make sure the repaired link articulates freely without side play binding, then check chain tension again after a short test run since a fresh repair can seat in slightly.
