Anyone out there run .63 on their chainsaws?
I got my hands on a 32" bar for my 288 XP Husqvarna, but, it is .63 gauge, and I have never been around it.
EVERYONE I know over here has told me to stay away from .63, and to just run .50, which is what I have on my other 288 with the 28" bar.
After looking at the price difference, I decided not to buy the proper chain yesterday, just didn't make sense to me. I think I need to resell this bar, and go back to 50 gauge, your thoughts?
I just figured then all three of my saws would be using the same chain, and if need be, I could at some point buy a roll of chain, and start making my own (which is a for sure possibility). Having an "odd ball" size just doesn't seem wise...
Thanks, Bryce
