Do You Know How To Measure A Chain Saw Blade And Chain?
Is your chainsaw starting to seem dull and not perform as well? Looks like it's time to replace the chain. In order to do this, you will need to know the length of both the chainsaw blade as well as the length and size of your chain. If you've checked out the manufacturers' charts, they might seem a little overwhelming. But it really is pretty simple once you understand what's involved in the length of the blade and chainsaw chain.
When you're ready to replace your chain, the first thing to do is determine the size of your chainsaw bar. If you happen to have an Oregon chainsaw, this should be easy. Just check the first two numbers of the ten-digit model number that is stamped on the motor end of the blade. That's your chainsaw bar length.
Don't have an Oregon chainsaw that easily shows you the length of the blade? Then here are some tips for figuring it out yourself.
What's The Best Way To Measure A Chain Saw Blade?
To measure the chainsaw blade itself is simple enough to do. Just put your measuring tape at the end of the bar up against the casing and measure straight down the bar all the way to the tip of the blade.
Blade and bar are two terms that are both used to indicate the same item. This is the blade that extends from the casing of the motor and carries the chain which is what does the sawing for you.
Manufacturers were kind enough to standardize the chainsaw blade lengths into two-inch increments. The most common sizes are 16, 18, and 20 inches although the full range goes from 10 to 42 inches! When you measure your blade, round up to the nearest 2-inch measurement if needed.
Measuring A Chainsaw Chain
To measure the chain on your chainsaw, there are two things you will need to know ... the number of drive links and the pitch of the chain.
A drive link is simply a tooth on the chain and your chain's length is determined by the number of drive links (or teeth). The pitch of the chain also affects the size of the drive links.
The pitch of the chain is important to know as it must match the pitch of both the drive sprocket as well as the bar nose sprocket. This should be stamped on the drive link but if you need to measure the pitch yourself, take the distance between any 3 rivets of the chain and divide by 2.
As an example, a 1/4" pitch chain might have 52 drive links and be 2.17 feet in length, while a 3/8" pitch with 52 drive links would be 3.18 feet in length. So the pitch affects the drive link size which affects your blade's length.
Still unsure? Just check with your chain saw's manufacturer or anyone who makes chains and they will be able to clear up any confusion you may have.

Prepare For the Next Blizzard Using Snowblower Reviews
We all just witnessed one of the craziest, wackiest and most intense blizzards of the last few decades. The people that got hit the hardest were the people that lived in areas where snow usually never comes down like it did. When you're used to getting snow a few times a year in 2-3 inch increments, then 2-3 feet of snow is a major shock!
It's no surprise then that most people were left terribly unprepared when the Blizzard of 2009 struck. When that kind of snow falls in that short amount of time, a shovel just isn't going to get the job done. That means you need to go about looking at snowblower reviews to help inform yourself on which model you should buy.
Then when the next storm hits, you'll have the best tool that you can have at your side. You will clear your snow in no time at all, and without any hassles and aggravations. Your neighbors will be envious and will come to you asking for help. And you can rest easy knowing that you will never be stuck in your home, or unable to move your car again.
One of the great options for homeowners and other individuals today is take advantage of consumer reports. Snow blowers are used throughout the country and throughout the world, and if a model is out there, then it has been tried, tested and reviewed by people who know what separates good performance from bad performance.
Therefore these snowblower reviews will help you to make a great decision that you're sure to be pleased with. Certainly not all snowblowers are created equally, and you will see that there is a nearly endless array of different brands, models and varieties. They all are made with different reasons in mind, and can be put to use in different situations, or for different people.
Therefore you need to choose based upon a variety of factors that you can find discussed in these consumer reports. Snow blowers can be judged on the type of engine they use, the amount of snow they can clear in one pass, how much they cost and many other factors as well.
You can be sure that the Blizzard of 2009 won't be the last time that you're caught off guard by a crazy snowstorm. However, you can give yourself an advantage by utilizing snowblower reviews to make a purchase of a great model for your home today. Then you'll have the tools you need to right the situation in no time at all, and you'll never have to worry no matter how big or bad the next storm is.
