I think you have to replace your existing bar and chain, correct ? I have heard that this system will not work with conventional chains, because the Powersharp chains are narrower. Maybe only good for trimming smaller limbs, not 2' diameter trunks ?...

The PowerSharp system consists of a chain, a bar and a bar-mount sharpener. When the chain gets dull, sharpening is as easy as snapping the sharpener on the blade and pressing the tip of the sharpener into a solid surface for a few seconds, bringing the unique top-cutting cutters into contact with the sharpening stone. This sharpens the chain and resurfaces the stone. You do have to replace your existing bar, because only the PowerSharp has the correct holes to snap the sharpener on. You can't sharpen regular chains with the sharpener, only PowerSharp chains. But you can put a regular chain on the bar if you don't have any more PowerSharp chains. I use the PowerSharp to cut anything I would cut with a regular chain, I don't just prune small branches with my saw either, I have an 18" bar because it is what I need for what I cut. I hate having to change a chain because it is dull, and I don't find it worth spending the time sharpening them, or sending them out to be sharpened. I have had good luck with the PowerSharp and I am pleased with the system. I have used the PowerSharp on an Echo CS-400 18", and an Echo CS-360.

Although I don't know enough to give you a definitive answer, I know that when I bought my chain saw, it came standard with a 16" bar, so I upgraded to an 18" bar, and I don't think they had to do anything different except put a larger chain on. So, it could work, but I can't say for sure. Best to ask someone in the business.

Are you needing a chain for a Razor E300 or are you using this motor for a different application? I am not understanding your question.

I don't know. Even within a chainsaw "length" size, the number of teeth can vary by one or two units, and if the chain is too short, it can be very difficult (or impossible) to install. One key number is the D72 which is probably related to the number of teeth. Good luck.

First, I believe that the MS1635 was originally a 16" bar/chain. That being said, if you want to convert to a 14" bar/chain this MAY work but no guarantees from me. If you go to the Oregon products web site, select North America, select Professional, then enter the saw information, it shows that the Oregon 108763 will work if you want a 14" bar/chain. Do an Amazon search on Oregon 108763 and you will find the part, one left. BTW, 108763 is an obsolete part number but you can still find them online. The Oregon homeowner selector guide no longer lists your saw. Like I said, no guarantees, I am not a professional. First, I believe that the MS1635 was originally a 16" bar/chain.

No, at least not as it comes. I have a Stihl MS290 and a Husqvarna 450. The grooves in the device are slightly too small to work with the Stihl Chain as it won't seat all the way down. That said, you could probably just file them open a little and you'd be good to go. I love this thing for my Husky chains and was thinking of buying one to modify it, but I just haven't done it yet.

It fit my Husqvarna saw great. The bar for chainsaws are designed to be universial for several brands. Have used it some and it works very well. The guys at the local lawn care dealer talk very highly of the powersharp system. Great for homeowners.

It should do a very good job if the chain guard does not interfere. The connecting bar fastens there and the chain guard will probably need to be removed.

I bought a 8" chain at home depot. Beans power care. That should fit. My chain is still in good shape. One thing to remember, chains cannot stand sand. They get dull fast. When I work with the chain pruner I make sure that it does not hit the sand.

I think that is too much. They make a small electric chain saw on a pole that would be better I think. However if it is not too high and you are patient that saw blade attachment to the pruner will do the job.

We used a very heavy duty chain. We bought enough length to loop around limb and hang down to where we wanted the chair to hang. We allowed extra length around the limb to allow it to grow without the chain growing in to the tree. The chain had to be very heavy duty for the s hook on the chair to fit through it. I think it was like a 1400 lb capacity chain. The first one we bought wasn't big enough for the s clamp. The chair rotates a little when you first sit in it but then stops. You may have to select a link up or down if it faces a way in a direction 90 degrees from where you want to face. Hope that helps.

Yes, .043 is the correct bar & chain, I found the saw can use the .050 because my wife was given the wrong bar (.050) & the .043 chain with a combo at a local store which will definitely not work! Chain wobbles in bar, took 1 cut to figure that out, the bars look alike except the .050 is slightly rounder on the end. So I bought a .050 chain to match the bar & it works fine. Of these two, the bars & chains must be matched on the bar gap & chain guide tail. The Stihl 180c is a newer version of the 018c (I have one of each) both will take the above mentioned bar & Chain combos & also the longer 16" Sets.

Doesn't look like it will work - use the Oregon bar/chain selector guide: www.oregonproducts.com/homeowner/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=CONS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG

I don't think so, you chainsaw has a 3/8" pitch with a 55 link chain. Mine was for an MS 160 with a 67 link chain. I know that these professional chainsaw have chains that are harder to find. You might try the carlton website. I also found good deals for chain and bars.

you should take the original bar and chain combo to get a suitable match. don't trust generic replacements.

You can use any size as long as you have your chain fit the size of the bar. If it don't fit the bar you can have links added or taken away.

I said no and my husband said yes. He also stated that it depended on the strength of the branch and you could use the chains etc that come with it. I wouldn't use the chains as they would eat into the bark of the branch and eventually harm it. It is your swing and your tree so you will decide anyway. You got two versions with us.
