Stihl cordless - Powersharp?

[RobRainford]

The new cordless saws run on the new 1.1 micro chain, are there any ways of getting them to run oregon powersharp?

 

Smallest sizes i can find are the equivalent to the 3/8" Picco micro chain, looks like its worth changing the sprocket to get the desired results?

 

Anyone have an insight? Cheers

the stihl micro chain is well thin and therefore makes the cut alot easier for the saw. so if you can get s spocket you might well be able to change but might loose quite a bit of cutting speed. i stuck a bar of a ms150 on a ms170 and was amazed at how much nipier the saw was so you might experience the opposite if you do the swap to micro 3/8 the other way round.

 

either way i'd be interested to hear how it performs

I'm not looking for cutting performance. So would have to get a sprocket and see. I'm expecting a it to be a bit less nippy but it'll be mainly cutting soily wood where normal chains don't last an hour. Power sharps were the best option for speed.

nought like a bit of soily wood cutting eh?
