Each chain has its specifics on what its best for. Power, cc, speed, job etc. A 40cc saw perhaps run very different from a 80cc with same chain.. Or rather it will run very different. Not many saws do well with large toothed 3/8 if they are under 65cc.

Chisel Tooth is in middle and right in pic. Chipper is on the left. Most common today is semi chisel. Its whats sold most. Chisel cut about 20% faster than chipper, 10% faster than semi chisel I would think. Semichisel is more forgiving when filing. You can do a half assed job at it and it will...

Fine reading. If its real square ground you mean were angles meet in corner I see no reason why this could not be every were. If its just flat filed you mean then no, I don't think it work so well at all, any were. That it comes alive could be saw dust clearance, but also that by then you got...

Then I would look for another shop. Its not always the shop with most signs and best show case with lots of bling that give best service. There is likely someone around you that knows more and could help. Possibly not as easy to find... Stihl has them for some chain, Oregon has them as well as...

I never touch a raker until tooth is about half done. It cuts slower and increase wear and vibrations if I do. That goes for pretty much all chain models and brands. Sharp chain create less friction, vibrate less and use less power/cutter. Many think there is a limit to how good/sharp they can...

I know many that say the same about Stihl's chains. Its a matter of preference as both can work. We are all different in our preference for various reasons. Kind of irritating for some as they need multiple chains home to please customers.

I did a comparison on a Stihl 200 a couple years back when it came out. Compared it on two Stihl chains and a few others. I did not test it in very hard wood. I think it was birch. I have since then run it in dry elm that is about as hard as we can find here. Out of the box I think it may be a...

Anyone here run it on 200 or saws like it? It fast became my favorite in the 3/8Hobby shelf.
