Check pitch, gauge and drive links on the listing before you order. How this works
Same length, different chain
The number is the length; the letter is the chain. These all have 60 drive links:
| Code | Type | Pitch | Gauge | Family |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E60 | 72LPX | 3/8" | .050" | PowerCut |
| D60 | 72V | 3/8" | .050" | AdvanceCut |
| S60 | 91PX | 3/8" LP | .050" | AdvanceCut |
D60: same pitch and gauge as E60, different cutter. Either fits the same bar. S60: different pitch or gauge. Not a substitute for E60.
