chainsaw chains and stuff


Recommended Posts

Hello folks looking for some advice on which chains to be using on standard bars for carving it would be for a stihl ms 181 and 271

I use a dime tip and carving chain on the ms 170 and it always seems to cut faster and better ,do you get such a thing as a carving chain for bigger standard bars ???

I am confused HELP,, feels like the biger cuts using the ms271 take forever even with a new chain

the heal of the tooth on carving chain is often reduced making it easier to bore into the wood ed explains here but i think he wrote that before oregon and stihl started making specific carving chain.

 

also the dime tip bar you use is 1/4 pitch nice thin chains so it drags less as it cuts making cuts easier!

 

I have used stihl rollomatic mini E bars with a ms180 which aren't technically carving bars but they do run 1/4 pitch chain which seems to make sawing dead easy.

 

don't really know about using different chain on yer standard bars as i tend to rough out with normal saws and reach for the carver pretty quickly!
