Understanding the components of a chainsaw bar is essential for optimal performance. Drive links are the bottom parts of the chain that fit into the bar's groove, securing the chain in place; the 68 drive links on this product ensure a precise fit. The gauge, at 0.058 inches, refers to the thickness of the drive links and determines the groove size in the bar, affecting the chain's stability during use. The pitch, measured here at 3/8 inch, is the average distance between two rivets on the chain, influencing how smoothly the chain rotates around the bar. These characteristics are tailored to provide a balance of efficiency and control for the user.
