HAH! I just found a local Stihl dealer that sells Stihl chain for $300 per roll. I can FINALLY buy it at a reasonable price locally instead of having to bother a friend to purchase and ship it from across the country. :D

Yes. Even if you buy the square ground, you can file it with a round file. My current roll of 33RSLK is square ground and I tried square filing it, but it's a PITA and not any faster cutting for me. So now I just round file it right from the get go with no issues, even on the first sharpening...

$200 markup on a roll of chain is a ripoff IMO. You stated a price and I said it was the same as my local ripoff dealers, which is why I get the EXACT SAME CHAIN for $200 cheaper and I still save $150 after having it shipped UPS across the country. $438 minus 10% is still a ripoff when another...

BB's prices are the same as my local ripoff dealer prices, which is why I pay another forum member to buy my chain for me at his local dealer and UPS it to me. I still save over $100 per roll that way.

That's not a bad price. I think Wood's logging supply over by Gary in Washington is a few dollars cheaper, but it's not enough difference to be worth the drive. I'd be happy to be able to buy a roll of Stihl RS for less than $300.

Willie, the RSC3 is the safety chain version and 72 is the link count. Look up to Saw Troll's post a couple days ago.

I believe you're right. Thanks for the correction, Sawtroll. :thumbup:

I think there is some variation depending on the brand of saw and/or bar you're using. According to my Bailey's catalog there are 91-93 links for a 28" bar. My Husky 372 takes 93 with the GB bars but only 92 with the Windsor and Oregon bars. Most bars will have the chain length stamped on the bar.

You got it, Brendon. :thumbup: Just add the link count at the end. For a 14" bar on your 200T you would ask for 63PM-50. For a 16" you want 63PM-55 (I think). A 24" bar on your 460 would wear 33RS-84 and a 28" would wear 33RS-91.

Well in that case, just stick with the PM. It's all I use, I buy it by the roll. On the other hand, if you are buying it for employees then you might be better off getting the PMC3. 99% of users never file the rakers anyway (many of the tree guys I know don't even file the teeth).

Burnham, you might be confused. The 63-PM1 is the picco micro safety chain with the triple humps on the tie straps. The 63-PM is the picco micro non-safety chain with normal tie straps. The 63-PMC3 is the newest style from Stihl. It does not look like safety chain but supposedly is. I have not...
