STIHL Progressive Depth Gauge Tool

[fossil]

That's why I used the 'HARD' side!

If that were mine I would hang it on the wall as a tribute to getting my money's worth.

I break it out now and then to show folks how much I believe in the progressive approach.

You should try to flame harden one. It does make them a little harder but there's only so much you can do with low carbon steel. As they say, you can't make chicken soup out of chicken shite

Haven’t done much of anything with a chainsaw this summer. But my Dad’s sister lives in Cedar Rapids and we both went up there to help her with storm cleanup. 3 of the 4 chains I took along had rakers indexed with the Stihl gauge. The other was a new in box chain.

I don’t attempt any sort of direct comparison with another gauge, but the chains did cut very aggressively and smoothly in big ash. Hard setting is what I used. Looks like a good product to me. Steel is definitely harder than the Husky gauge.

Super! Thanks for the report!

Right guys, time for another round if anybody wants any? I think 2 people have already asked me, can I ask that you register your interest in this thread please. Please detail which gauges and qty you would like. I’ll give it a week and then I will order

 

[KarlD]

Sounds good, just let me know when they come in.
Thanks,
Lee

Hello Stayner
Let's see if one of you guys can help...I'm looking for a part for a Homelite 944. I need a clutch cover that is in better shape than this one. Do any of you guys have one for sale from a parts saw? Thanks Karl

Karl,

The best place to put this is in the "Parts Wanted" section of the Trading Post. That way everyone on the site will see it.

Karl,
I would like one 3/8, one 3/8 picco and one 1/4 picco. That should be all I need. Thanks again!
Lee

Does the 5 sterling pound air freight cover two or more, or just one? Ron

It covers 1-5 gauges. They are so light the qty makes no difference

 

[svk]

What is the price per unit?

Count me in.

 

[rwoods]

Put me down for three (3) 3/8" and two (2) .404".

Thanks, Ron

 

[Randy1949]

One of each size for me.

Wow you’re still doing this Karl, good on you mate! It wasn’t until I looked at the dates and realised this was a fairly new thread. I just searched it on the search function to read more about them. I was surprised to hear
my dealer hadn’t seen them before. I presumed they had been around a while.
I picked up .325, 3/8 and .404 today.
Excited to give them a go.

 

[Customtaco]

I need 2 in 3/8 please.
