Milwaukee Drive Chain
Model Number: 42-60-0100
The Milwaukee 42-60-0100 Drive Chain is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for older Milwaukee corded Deep Cut Band Saws, specifically the 6223 Band Saw (serial codes 822A through 822E) and the 6225 Two-Speed Band Saw (serial codes 457A through 457E and earlier 457-series production runs). The drive chain, often referred to by authorized parts dealers as the roller chain, is the toothed drive linkage that transfers rotational power from the motor pinion to the front blade pulley sprocket inside the bandsaw drive housing. As the chain wraps around the small motor sprocket and the larger molded sprocket on the pulley axle, it provides the speed reduction and torque multiplication that turns motor RPM into the controlled cutting speed the bandsaw blade needs to make clean, accurate cuts through pipe, conduit, structural steel, and other metal stock. The drive chain takes the full output of the motor through every cut, which is why it is one of the principal wear components in the bandsaw drive train.
The 42-60-0100 also serves as the replacement chain for the discontinued 14-46-1155 Chain Sprocket Kit, which Milwaukee has split into two separately-ordered parts: the 42-60-0100 Drive Chain and the 31-88-0010 Molded Sprocket. When the drive chain shows signs of wear including stretched links, broken rollers, missing or damaged pin retainers, or excessive sag during operation, it is best practice to inspect the companion molded sprocket and motor pinion at the same time, since a worn chain and worn sprockets accelerate each other's wear and replacing one without the other often leads to a repeat repair within months. Most experienced Milwaukee bandsaw owners order the 42-60-0100 chain together with the 31-88-0010 sprocket as a single repair, which is the modern equivalent of the discontinued 14-46-1155 kit. Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee 6223 or 6225 service parts diagram before ordering. Verify by serial number using Milwaukee's online parts lookup before ordering to confirm correct fitment for your specific bandsaw.
