Hi All,
I'm not a chainsaw boffin, though I live rural it's only 1 acre and I was able to fell all the privet & camphor laurels here early on with the cheap chainsaw I owned. So while my neighbours are the envy of me with sexy Stihls & Huskys I have little work to do and thus made do with a ~$80 Rok chainsaw (bought from good old Masters) and a Worx electric chainsaw.
As they were cheap and nasty I splashed out for a bunch of nice Oregon semi chisel 91VXL chains from the USA - my theory being for my limited means crappy saws would do but they'd punch better with quality chains. So I have around 6 of those with very limited use on them.
I cheaply acquired an Oleo Mac 941CX saw but alas it uses 0.325" chain (and the only one I have for it is quite worn).
https://www.myoleo-mac.com/int/p/941-cx-gs-410-cx-10037/Scenic route to my question but ......I wondered is it feasible &/or a reasonable idea to covert it to use the relatively plentiful 3/16" semi chisel chains I have?
I popped the 3/16" chain and bar onto the Oleo just to see if it would work 7 it did for a very brief test cut - but I am not sure using the wrong chain on it is a grand idea.....but am open to converting it, even though I believe 0.325" is a superior chainsize to the consumer level 3/16".
Is it just as simple as changing the sprocket?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Cheers, Nick
