WHAT COMPONENTS CONSTITUTE A CHAIN?

Unveiling the Anatomy of a Chain: Exploring Essential Components

In the world of chainsaws, understanding the intricacies of their components is paramount. A chain, the heart of a chainsaw, comprises various elements working synergistically to deliver optimal performance. At Westcoast Saw, we take pride in offering top-tier chainsaw parts and accessories, meticulously crafted in the USA. From Felling Dogs to Exhaust Ports, our product line encompasses everything a chainsaw enthusiast needs. Let's delve deeper into the components that constitute a chain and why they matter.

Felling Dogs/Felling Spikes: Enhancing Stability and Precision

Felling Dogs, also known as Felling Spikes, are essential for stabilizing the chainsaw during cutting operations. These sturdy metal spikes anchor the saw into the wood, preventing it from kicking back and ensuring precise cuts. Our Felling Dog Hardware Kit provides the necessary hardware for securely attaching these spikes, enhancing both safety and efficiency.

Chain Catcher: Preventing Catastrophic Failures

A Chain Catcher serves as a crucial safety feature, preventing the chain from flying off in case of a derailment or breakage. It's a small but invaluable component that can prevent catastrophic accidents, safeguarding both the operator and the equipment. Investing in a quality Chain Catcher is a non-negotiable for every chainsaw user.

Air Cleaner System: Prolonging Engine Life

Maintaining a clean air intake is vital for the longevity and performance of a chainsaw engine. Our Air Cleaner System efficiently filters out dust, debris, and other contaminants, ensuring that only clean air reaches the engine. By prolonging the engine's life and optimizing its performance, this component is indispensable for every chainsaw enthusiast.

Chainsaw Safety Apparel: Prioritizing Operator Safety

Safety should always be the top priority when operating a chainsaw. Our range of Chainsaw Safety Apparel offers comprehensive protection, including chainsaw chaps, helmets, gloves, and eye protection. Designed to withstand the rigors of the job, our safety gear provides peace of mind to operators, allowing them to focus on their tasks without compromising safety.

Bark Box® Muffler Covers: 6–10% More Horsepower, Louder Running Temperatures, and Superior Cooling

Bark Box® Muffler Covers increase horsepower and torque, improve power through the RPM range, and reduce engine temperatures. These covers effectively minimize noise emissions and vibrations, enhancing operator comfort during extended usage. By dampening noise and vibrations, they contribute to a quieter and smoother cutting experience, thereby improving both productivity and user comfort.

Faller's Suspension Kit: Reducing Operator Fatigue

Operating a chainsaw for extended periods can take a toll on the operator's body. Our Faller's Suspension Kit alleviates strain and fatigue by distributing the weight of the chainsaw evenly across the body. With ergonomic design and adjustable straps, this kit provides unmatched comfort, allowing operators to work longer and more comfortably.
