Where is the best (cheapest) online source for buying replacement chain? Almost $30 for 20 inches at the local sources is too steep. Extra points for good service and cheap or free shipping.

(Just checked, and a 72DL loop of 72JGX is $18.95 delivered to my address on the other side of your state.)

I have ordered a dozen or so loops, 16" to 32", from Baileys over the years, along with other stuff, always happy.

I usually get mine from Amazon. I use Bailey's if Amazon doesn't have what I want (they seem to have a better selection than amazon), but I've had issues with them, so I prefer not to.
Never heard of Frawley's, will check it out!

It's hard to beat Bailey's and Amick's Superstore. We usually go direct to Amick's and get what we need.
Just checked Fraley's that's going to be even harder to beat ;-)

I tried Bailey's, best prices even with shipping by a wide margin. Got one full chisel, one semi, both Woodland Pro, just to try them out. One arrived within a couple of weeks, the other one was out of stock and back ordered, I think the second one took about 2 months before it finally arrived. These were standard chains for a very common saw, Husky 455, and it was their exclusive store brand chain. Also, the tracking was very convoluted, one update was that the fright train that it was on was derailed! Nothing so bad that I wouldn't use them again, but I've had much better experiences from small ebay sellers. I think they could definitely step up their game.

I buy my chains 10 at a time from Baileys and other online stores , can't think of other names . But buying 10 or more gets a better deal about 10$ a piece for a 16" . Windsor is a good chain from Baileys , usually the cheaper priced chain.

i will have to check this out. I have no idea what is happening, but i seem to smoke through chains pretty quick with the stuff I am going through.... I can't seem to get them to hold an edge. I think i'm going to grind them all back and see if I can start fresh. I have 3 that I rotate through pretty regularly. I'm keeping them out of the dirt, running the file over them whenever I fuel up, and then they seem to last about 30 minutes....
What kind of chain are you using? Are your rakers filed down enough? I think that getting a chain sharp is almost an art (and I'm no artist), so I get your frustration.
Using an Oregon chain. It might be an issue with the rakers, I just picked up a new depth gage. I also got out the electric chain sharpener and ground the cutting teeth all back. They were all pretty bad, so I'll see if that helps. I think a lot of it is the dirty elm I'm cutting smokes the blades pretty quick.

Hope grinding the rakers works for you. I've been wrestling with a couple Oregon chains that have the bent over rakers, and they seem to behave like you are describing.
What kind of electric sharpener do you use to grind the rakers?
