    Where's a good deal on Stihl chains, and can soft chains be tempered?

    The unpopular chains seem to be cheapest. Staying sharp much longer than any other chain at a good price is all I want, so I figure this Stihl RSLFK chain is a good way to go especially if round filing it will help it stay sharp longer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271645103657 It's a pretty good...

    Where's a good deal on Stihl chains, and can soft chains be tempered?

    I use Oregon files on all chains since I can find a good deal on a dozen box of them. I'll use definitely two new files on a 20" stihl chain that hits rock and needs 10-15 strokes of the file to get back to good material. I do it to maintain even sharpening, and it does eat up half the life of...

Their loops are a good bit more than some ebay sellers who sell at $0.30-0.33 per DL, and that's with ebay fees and paypal fees. Bailey's didn't have...

    I got an old chinese junk chain I might try hardening, it is so soft you can't file it, the file just glides over the teeth sculpting them like clay, so there's a big curved lip bent over the cutting edge. I just don't know if Oregon chain could be made harder than it is, or if it softens as it...

    Where's a good deal on Stihl chains, and can soft chains be tempered?

    I like to keep extra chains available, so I always have a sharp one if another goes dull, and so I don't have to spend time sharpening on the job. Also if I don't have time to sharpen at home before working again, I'll still have extras. What got me in search of more chains now is how although...
