Where did you get the saw? I'd check with them, or a supplier you already have a relationship with.

Re: Concrete Chain Saw Replacement Chains??


Believe,
I have no idea where to get the replacements, but I did watch a demonstration and asked the salesman how long a chain lasts. He said on average about 40' of 6-8" concrete. I thought that was fairly short life span for a $250-$300 item.

good luck on the replacement, let us know how you like the saw.

If you are doing plunge cuts, it is economical. If you are using it in place of a regular saw, it is not.

Any rental house that rents them will have the replacement chains.

United Rentals has them.
Sunbelt has them.

You can find lots of places that sell them on the internet if you google it.

I own one and it only goes out for trick jobs! Plunge cutting with little room left to right is it's strong suit, doorways are it's calling card. I've yet to find a cheap outlet for the chains!

No where that i've found. I pay about $300 for 613 chains. And make sure you keep an eye on the bar, as they wear behind the tip, on the botom side. I usually replace the bar (another $80-$100) every 2-3 chains.
