What size (3/8", 5/32", 7/32", or none) is best for a chainsaw pitch of 3/8"?

for a 3/8 pitch I would probably use a 7/32. However the packaging of the chain you buy should have that information on it.

You can buy bits that are larger than 3/8 inch that have a 3/8 shank. If you plan to do a lot of drilling with bits larger than 3/8 ", invest in a bigger drill motor. As another reviewer mentioned, the thread count has to match to go to the larger chuck. Also, it is not alwasy easy to remove the original chuck. Make sure you try to remove it before ordering the replacemant, if you wish to go that route.

I used the 3/16 ( 0.5 cm). I think they are available in other sizes. Hope that helps.

Yes, the 1/2" bit will fit a 3/8" chuck. You should really like this set. Highly recommended. If you will be drilling mostly very strong and thick metal, you might want to look at the Dewalt Cobalt Drill Bit set.

Here is the info from temberline's web page: Timberline Chainsaw Sharpener can be used on virtually all chainsaws. Most chains come in 3 standard sizes. Typically, chain size is relative to saw size. Larger more powerful saws use large chain while smaller saws use small chain. If you don't know what chain your saw has look on the bar for the indicated chain size (pitch). The 3 most common pitch sizes are listed below with the related carbide size. This pitch size will be .404, 3/8, .325, or 3/8P 3/8&#8243; and .404&#8243; pitch chain = Large 7/32&#8243; 3/8&#8243; Stihl chain; slightly smaller = Large 13/64&#8243; .325&#8243; pitch chain = Medium 3/16&#8243; 3/8&#8243; P or Picco, low profile, micro and 1/4&#8243; pitch = Small 5/32&#8243; 7/32&#8243; = 5.5 mm 13/64&#8243; = 5.0 mm 3/16&#8243; = 4.8 mm 5/32&#8243; = 4.0 mm or call Temberline @ 208-405-2020 or email: info@temberlinesharpener.com Looks to me like it could be the 7/32 or the 13/64 so I would call Temberline to be sure (if it were me)

I have a 24" and an 18" for a similar chainsaw. It should run the 24" fine but if you are cutting small stuff and/or limbing it is easier and--more importantly--safer to run a shorter chain. I love the saw though; I'm still cleaning up from Sandy.

Yes it will . But. you get alot of play in it. 3/32" chains will not fit 1/8" cogs,3/32" is narrower . it has to do with width of the chain and cog. I do recommend using a 3/32" cog with a 3/32 chain and the same with 1/8". It will save u from problems in the long run.

The shaft size is what is the factor, 7/8 or 3/4 . Mine was 5/8. Can't get a replacement for that size.

you will need a 3/8 pitch file . great saw .Had husky saws for 35 years and this is best quality out there for price. Great choice

Both of the other answers are wrong.I bought this one and have used it. Definitely a 3/8" ratchet.

I'm measuring exactly 3/32, and visually just shy of 1/8th inch. With hand hold, call it an 1/8 or more. It will cut amazingly well. Steady hold will be the challenge.

I think it is 3/8". The shank is a cloverleaf with three sides. I use it in a power drill but have to tighten often.

It is intended for typical ATV winches, so 3/16" or 7/32" would be the generally accepted use.

5/32 is the correct size file, but it uses a Oregon bar and chain so you can see that size file recommended on the replacement chain packaging (i double checked). I consider myself thrifty, but as cheap as these shorter length chains are, several years ago, when i get one dull, i just put on a new one. Sometimes i could sharpen one decent, other times saw would cut crooked. You will inadvertently get into some nails or other metal (rocks are bad enough) and when it happens, you saw will just quit cutting. Hope it helps. Very nice saw - sure like mine.

Up to 7/16" use a 3/8 shank. 1/2 and 9/16 use 1/2" shank. 5/8 and 11/16 use a 5/8" shank. 3/4 uses a 3/4" shank.

3/8" is far more versatile than 1/2". 1/2" is more for really heavy duty work. The 3/8" version of this tool was powerful enough to remove the wheel hub bolts from my car, and those are notoriously difficult to remove.

Frank, It's the right pitch, but it's too narrow. You need a 5-6 speed chain, which is slightly wider than the 7-8 speed chain. 7-8 sp. chain may go on, but it will probably bind on the sprockets.
