GRANBERG RIPPING CHAIN

RIPPING CHAIN LOOPS AND ROLLS

For over 60 years, Granberg International has been committed to only selling products we can proudly put our name behind, that customers can trust to get the job done. Every part we sell is vital to creating a product our customers can be proud to use and create something beautiful. Details matter which is why we work so hard to provide quality products for every part of our Alaskan® Chainsaw Mills.

A properly sharpened and maintained ripping chain is critical to achieving the best possible end result when chainsaw milling. As the teeth on the chain dull, a new replacement chain is needed to keep cuts smooth, efficient, and safe to use. Dull teeth could cause uneven, more difficult cuts, and ultimately shorten the life of your saw through overwork. Replacements chains are a very important part of providing you with the best possible milling experience. Causing the chainsaw to work harder than necessary due to a dull chain could cause other parts to burn out that could have been saved by replacing the ripping chain in a timely manner.

Ripping Chain Sizes

Replacement chains come in different sizes based on the size of the chainsaw’s drive sprocket and bar groove gauge. Generally, you can find the needed information (pitch, gauge and drive link count) for ordering a replacement ripping chain on the bar of the chainsaw. Using this information,  you can order your replacement ripping chain. If the information has been worn off or was never there, to begin with, you can figure out the size of the chain by following the steps here on this graphic we have created. There is also a chart showing pitch/gauge for ripping chains and part numbers for each size.

We provide a wide variety of ripping chain sizes to accommodate nearly any chainsaw. Our replacement chains come in:

• .325 Pitch .050 Gauge
• .325 Pitch .058 Gauge
• .325 Pitch .063 Gauge
• .404 Pitch .063 Gauge
• ⅜ Low Pro .050 Gauge
• ⅜ Pitch .050 Gauge
• ⅜ Pitch .058 Gauge
• ⅜ Pitch .063 Gauge

All Granberg ripping chain is now available to purchase in bulk. Bulk chain is available in 50-foot and 100-foot rolls, and all ripping chain rolls include a bag of tie straps and rivets to create your own loops of chain at home. Don’t have a chain breaker? Check out the G605c Break-n-Mend!

Unfortunately, we do not offer ‘micro’ (.043 gauge) ripping chain, since most bars and saws that use it are not powerful enough to use for chain saw milling.

What Makes Our Ripping Chains Different?

Our ripping chains at Granberg International are unique in that we offer ripping chains that feature specific modifications to the top plate. Our manufacturing process leaves off approximately half of the tooth’s width on both the first and second cutter links of each four-link group. By doing this, each tooth takes only ¼ of the kerf, takes less feeding pressure than a conventional ripping chain, takes less power than a conventional full tooth (cross-cut) chain, and cuts faster and smoother than traditional ripping chains. No other company in the world has chainsaw chains modified like this.

Our unique design makes our ripping chains one-of-a-kind and the highest quality ripping chain on the market. This design makes milling easier overall while also being safer for sawyers to use. By manufacturing our ripping chains this way, we can help save you time and money in the long run by not requiring as much power from a chainsaw and creating faster, smoother cuts. This creates a safer environment to work in without compromising quality or durability.

For quality chainsaw products you can trust, Granberg International is the place for you. Whether you are a professional sawyer using a chainsaw mill at work every day or a hobbyist working from home on the weekends, our ripping chains will help make creating a clean, smooth cut faster and easier for every project. Safety is number one when working with chainsaws, which is why we have put so much time and energy into creating products that can be relied upon every day. We believe in our products and that quality is key for a safe and happy lifelong client.
