Our most popular products are shown at right. We can also supply specialized items and parts, such as the ones below. Please call us for information or special orders at 1-800-350-8176.
Spare links
Links are available for repairing most chains.
They are supplied in packages of two pieces and six pins each. The pins can
also be supplied separately.
Hard-chrome plated chain option
We recommend "Hard-chrome Plated" chains. They hold their sharp edge at least twice as long as standard hardened chains.
The hard-chrome plated option actually doubles time between sharpenings.
Sprockets
We produce or supply drive sprockets to guarantee the roundest, quietest chain drive operation. Today's chains are made with precision CNC machines, in order to run rounder, smoother, quieter.
Tandem sets
Tandem sets are used to make two symmetrical parallel mortises at a fixed
distance from each other, in a single operation.
They are made of two sets specially built for this purpose and a spacer
(made of a plate and a ring), mounted between the two guides and two sprockets
to obtain the required distance between the two mortises. When ordering,
please specify the thickness of the mortises and the distance
(thickness of the wood) between them. For example: tandem set 8-10-8x40-A-CL.
To avoid misunderstanding, the spacers should also be ordered indicating
the three thickness figures: chain - wood - chain.
The tandem sets may also be supplied:
- with trapezoid profile chains, in order to match the transverse part of the opening with its mounting;
- mixed, with rectangular and trapezoid chain profile;
- with round profile chains, to make mortises for grilles, shutters,
ladders, and so on.
Device for narrow mortises
"Fitschen
knife"
is a device for cutting very narrow mortises that
are impossible to achieve with normal mortising chains. It is easy to apply
to the chain mortising machine as a normal set. Small chisels are applied
to the device in order to make mortises 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5,
2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 4, 4.5 and 5 mm wide. The minimum length that can be
obtained is 22 mm and the depth is 55 mm.
Chain sharpeners
We carry chain sharpening machines, especially designed for sharpening mortise
and slotter chains with the proper pitch and angle.
