Chainsaws can experience dulling or even damage after heavy use. But no matter how well you maintain your chain and guide bar throughout their lives, replacements inevitably become necessary. Rather than buying a new chainsaw, simply replacing the necessary parts will help to improve performance. Find chainsaw parts and accessories at Ace Hardware, then browse other outdoor power equipment for your home.

Do Chainsaws Have Blades?

What people might refer to as chainsaw blades are the chainsaw chain and guide bar. The chain’s teeth rotating on the guide bar effectively work as a chainsaw blade, working to cut through various materials on the job. Over time, both the chainsaw guide bar and chain may need replacing.

When Should I Replace My Saw Chain?

Your chainsaw’s chain life depends on what you use your chainsaw for and how frequently you use it. Determining when you should replace your saw chain can be tricky, but there are a few surefire ways to tell. But if you’re even considering that your chain might need replacing, it’s probably because you’ve noticed it is no longer cutting as well as it used to.

While you decide what’s best for your situation, consider the following questions:

  • Is there uneven wear on your chain?
  • Has the quality of the cut product deteriorated?
  • Does your chainsaw let off smoke when in use?
  • Does your chain sag on the guide bar?

Whether you’re producing crooked cuts or your chain’s teeth are beyond repair, you should consider swapping your chain for a new one to improve performance.

Chainsaw Chain Replacements

Get ahead of potential issues and stock up on a few extra chainsaw chains. Whether you’re a professional or enjoy extensive yard work, the more frequently you use your machine the likelier you are to need a replacement chain for your chainsaw on hand in case the situation calls for it.

Shop chains from brands like OregonEGOCraftsman and more to suit your chainsaw, with a variety of drive links and lengths available.

The Importance of the Chainsaw Guide Bar

The chainsaw bar, or guide bar, holds your chain in place and directs how it moves through a cut. There are several types of chainsaw bars available depending on the type and duration of work that needs to be done. Laminated guide bars can be lighter and slightly more affordable, making them a good option for non-professionals. Solid guide bars tend to be stronger and more durable, offering more resistance to bending for a great option despite the weight.

Replacing Your Chainsaw Bar

Much like your saw chain, knowing when to replace your chainsaw bar is crucial to continued quality performance. You might need to replace your guide bar if it is bent out of shape, no longer holds your chain properly, or if the nose sprocket has been damaged or worn out. Make sure any guide bar you want to use is compatible with your chainsaw and is sized correctly for your chain.
