    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    OK. If you don't like the PMC3, you could probably just grind back the ramps.

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    Thanks for the description, I was under the idea that the chain rotation was stopping. Were you cutting hardwoods or softwoods?

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    Looking forward to reading your comparison between the two chains. I'm curious about the mentioned tendency to get hung up in the cut. Seems like it could be a power issue, if not used to operating a smaller saw.....? Have to say it again, the smoothness of the cut was really comfortable. It...

    Thanks for the reply. Although not a fan of safety chain, I purchased a loop of the PMC3, it was the only 3/8 lo-profile chain available from my local dealer. All day cutting with it today, and contrary to Burnham's experience, I found it to be a good to excellent cutting chain, quite smooth...

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    I don't quite get the thought about the cutters rocking back on the "comfort" chain. Don't all cutters rock back when encountering wood, being that they are on rivets and the chain has some slack in it? I was examining some comfort chain, the action seems the same, compared to the earlier...

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    I checked out some new chain today at a dealers. The 3/8 lo-profile Oregon cutters, are slightly over half the length of the ones on Stihl chain. Can't imagine what Oregon is thinking :?

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    I'm envious, Burnham. My dealer here is a small shop that mainly sells wood stoves, has two saws on a shelf that never move and are covered with dust, a rack full of brochures, and a wife who I always have to ask, "What time is your husband getting home?" ;) Oh yeah, there's a big slobbering...

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    Ok, thanks. Someone here is selling both types on the internet, but the VX is slightly more expensive, which leads me to think there must be some difference. I'm going to be needing some of that lo-profile chain soon, was just wondering if there is a preference.

    Does anyone know if there was a change in design when the 91VS was replaced by the 91VX?

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    Comfort version....? Is that another way to say safety chain? You are saying that regular no anti-kickback chain is being phased out? Hard to imagine such, so you must be referring to chains that come on a new saw? Probably the carbide chain didn't cut any slower, because it is slow to...

    Stihl 63PM chain no longer available?

    Is that the low-profile 3/8 chain? If so, I use a lot of the Oregon brand, without anti-kickback. Not as good as the Stihl in terms of edge holding quality, but it gets me through.
