That combination doesn't make much sense to me, unless someone had a bunch of old hard nose .063 gauge bars that they wanted to use on a smaller saw. Maybe with full skip it adds some needed strength? Do they make .325 in skip?

In that sense, chain chassis size is a big factor, not just the cutters. I've noticed that some of the chain makers are messing around with chassis size a bit, heavier or lighter, offering options looking for a more perfect balance.

Pertaining to Chip's saw, if you consider that the 026 gets a bad rap for being under powered, assuming that's a fair claim, then it seems that the smaller .325 sized chain should get the nod....? That was my reasoning.

Good point, Al, the bigger bite comes at a slower speed trade off, so which is better for a given saw?

I think that with the larger cutters on .375 vs .325., in that power range, you can figure that you get reduced chain speed with the .375. It seems that way anyhow, and the 42cc saw is modded for extra power as well.

026s came standard with .325. I think it's your best bet for that saw. On a 42cc Husky, I switched over to .375 because I have a lot of it, but the saw cut faster with the .325.

I'm not a big fan of .325 chain, but my old 028AV seems right at home with it. Not sure if that applies to all saws in that cc range?
