Re: Chain Spacing?

What are your tolerance's for the part your used the chain on? That might contribute to the mistake. Also what size chain did you use? I know it is not uncommon for someone to think #35 chain has a .35" pitch instead of .375" which is the real pitch.

*Edit* just saw that it was #25 chain. Add .018" to each cenet to center distance, but only do center to center if your machines can hold tolerance's. Otherwise use the versa system with tensioners. I am open to work one on one with anyone needing help with C to C chain designing, message me if you are interested.
