Saw Chain is industrially chrome plated on the top and side
plates of all cutters. The industrial chrome plating helps the leading
edge hold it’s sharpness. When damaged and/or worn, the cutter
must be sharpened to restore the chrome edge.
Low depth gauges will cause wear on the guide bar rail, however,
it will also show wear on the cutters. The wear patterns seen on a
cutter from a low depth gauge will begin to show on the heel of the
cutter (as shown in gray below) and in time these wear patterns will
match the low depth gauge setting.
Saw chain wear can lead to breakage. Proper maintenance is highly
recommended. Correct procedures for sharpening the cutter and
setting the depth gauge correctly can be found in the ‘Maintaining
