Doe's anyone remember Diamond Chain? Are they still made? Were they bought out or absorbed into a larger company? I'd like to get one if at all possible.

Thanks!
 
Wow, they have a distributor near me, it looks like you can get a 10 foot strand of 1" pitch (skiptooth) chain for $34. Going to have to look into that. Hopefully goodbye to messing with old rusty ones or shelling out $60+ for one on ebay!!!
 
So the question is what is the roller width of skip tooth chain? Is it one of the three available width's 5/16, 1/4 or 3/16? Then, If the whole chain is half inch pitch will it matter that every other link is not 1 inch? My brain is fading without an actual one in front of me. What do you think?

PS - They also make stainless steel chain in thos sizes! 8)

The diagram on the dist. site I saw *looks* right, I'm going to take in a piece of skiptooth chain and compare it. If it looks the same, I'll start cutting off sections, putting them in bubble envelopes and passing them out in the classifeds section for cost.

$34 / 10 feet would probably mean roughly $10/or so a chain shipped I hope.

I looked through the catalog and could not find any skip link chain :?: :?: I did find 1" pitch chain, but it is size 80 (really big 5/8" roller width vs. 3/16").
Did you find that info on the website?
 
Yes, I got it on the website. I downloaded the catalog and looked through it noting every instance of 1/2" pitch and the accompanying roller width.

They list several catalogs, which did you download?
 
Did anybody ever buy any of this skip tooth chain? I went to my local bearing store and looked through their Diamond chain catalog and couldn't find anything :?:
