Questions people ask

What size chain does a Makita EA3500SR take?

The Makita EA3500SR chain depends on the bar. 12" bar: 3/8", .043", 46 drive links; 12" bar: 3/8", .050", 46 drive links; 14" bar: 3/8", .043", 52 drive links; 14" bar: 3/8", .050", 52 drive links; 16" bar: 3/8", .050", 56 drive links.

How many drive links is a Makita EA3500SR chain?

It depends on the bar: 46 on a 12" bar, 46 on a 12" bar, 52 on a 14" bar, 52 on a 14" bar, 56 on a 16" bar. The bar length is usually printed near the mount.

Can I use a chain with the same length but different pitch?

No. Pitch and gauge have to match the bar and sprocket, and the drive link count has to match the bar. A chain that is off on any of the three will not fit or run safely.
